tie script

i want to make a trigger for when someone is mortally wounded to tie them

basically this is the message i get fro when someone is morted

* is mortally wounded, and spraying blood everywhere.

but i only want it to send

tie and the first 2 or 3 letters of their name any suggestions

Just out of curiosity, why do you only want to send the first 2 or 3 letters of their name?

Ahh a godwars mud, I remember these...
Well, for MUShClient as well I ahve used this one same exact words to and this worked perfectly for me every time:

<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
ignore_case="y"
keep_evaluating="y"
match="* is mortally wounded, and spraying blood everywhere."
sequence="100"
>
<send>tie %1</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>
