ok... to start i want to apologize in advance for my ignorance...
here is what i got... when i start a quest, this is the information that is produced by the mud-server.
what i am trying to do is to set off a trigger that will then in turn call my perspective script.
the first section that i want to grab is the name of the mob, the room its in, and then the area of that room. so it is lines 4, 5, and 6... so what i want to do is the following, but it is not passing the wildcards to the script.
then in my script i am doing:
and what i get are empty variables... any suggestions?

here is what i got... when i start a quest, this is the information that is produced by the mud-server.
You ask A QuestoR for a quest.
A QuestoR tells you 'Thank you, brave Dagas!'
A QuestoR tells you 'An enemy of mine, a marbled salamander, is making vile'
A QuestoR tells you 'threats against Ayla! This threat must be eliminated!'
A QuestoR tells you 'Seek a marbled salamander out somewhere in the vicinity'
A QuestoR tells you 'of Before a Cave Entrance which is in the general area'
A QuestoR tells you 'of The Forest of Li'Dnesh.'
A QuestoR tells you 'Good luck Dagas. Return safely!'
A QuestoR tells you 'You have 51 minutes to complete your quest.'
what i am trying to do is to set off a trigger that will then in turn call my perspective script.
the first section that i want to grab is the name of the mob, the room its in, and then the area of that room. so it is lines 4, 5, and 6... so what i want to do is the following, but it is not passing the wildcards to the script.
* tells you 'Seek * out somewhere in the vicinity'$* tells you 'of * which is in the general area'$* tells you 'of *.'
then in my script i am doing:
local mob_name = wildcards[2]
local mob_room = wildcards[4]
local mob_area = wildcards[6]
and what i get are empty variables... any suggestions?
