| I have a corpse collection set of triggers that activates on this:
You get Corpse of a Rat.
But every so often, when too many lines come through at once , my prompt ends up on the same line and I get this:
< 15973hp 238mana 102mv > You get Corpse of a Rat.
Now, without using regular expressions, I can do this:
*ou get * of *.
That way, whether the line starts with "Y" or "< 15973hp 238mana 102mv > Y" it will work just fine.
The problem, though, is that I have to do this as a regular expression (because it may not always be Corpse, but also Sludge, Remains, etc., but not "sword" or "helm" etc.)
With a regular expression, though, it doesn't seem to pick it up at all:
^(.*?)ou get (@!corpsetype) of (.*?)\.$
Now I know that the (@!corpsetype) works, because the trigger is perfectly fine whenever the line doesn't have the prompt show (You get Corpse of a Rat).
But whenever the line starts with < 15973hp etc, the trigger fails, and I would THINK that the (.*?) wildcard would account for that, but it doesn't seem to. I have tried it with and without the "ou" but nothing changes.
Is it possible to have a regular expression accomplish what I'm trying to do? | | Top |

| The conversion to regular expressions (done by the button in the trigger) is what it does anyway when a non-regular expression is processed. Please post the whole thing.

| The trigger was not enabled.
world.note doesn't work. It must be Note (not note).
At least post a trigger that works, thanks.
Using a modified trigger:
<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
expand_variables="y"
group="getcorpse"
match="^(.*?) get (@!corpsetype) of (@!elemental)\.$"
name="elementalcorpse"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="300"
>
<send>Note "elemental"
</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>
It worked in both cases:
You get Corpse of a Rat.
elemental
< 15973hp 238mana 102mv > You get Corpse of a Rat.
elemental
I suspect another trigger is kicking in on the prompt, preventing this one from firing. Make sure your "prompt" trigger is set as "keep evaluating". |
