It send allows me to track a creature. Without sending me to FAQ, I been there before asking.

How do I

turn %1 into a variable (trackie) to be used by triggers.

Then how do I get this trigger.

<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
match="Tracks to * lead *ward."
sequence="100"
>
<send>%2

track %1
</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>


to use that variable (trackie)




What happens in game is I type
t alchemist
It outputs
track alchemist
Tracks to Tisa the alchemist lead southward.
south

track Tisa the alchemist
Who?
It replaces my word alchemist with Tisa the alchemist

Did you watch this video?

http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=9616

Anyway, this shows how to track someone and remember their name:


<aliases>
  <alias
   match="t *"
   enabled="y"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>Send ("track %1")
SetVariable ( "trackie", "%1")</send>
  </alias>
</aliases>


Look at the video for more information.
