A problem i'm having at the moment is a small script i'm trying to make. First of all, I 'scan' a room, which brings back the response:

"Looking around you see:
Here a pickpocket
Here a thief"

Which is fine, and my trigger runs off that. The problem comes where I have 2 or more mobs of the same name in a room.

What I want it to do is 'send to execute' a "b %1" where %1 is the mobname, then if it returns a:
"* is hurt and suspicious ... you can't sneak up."

I want it to add 1 to counter (of that wildcard), and again, "b count.%1" where count would be 2 for the second mob, and soforth.

The problem is also 1) getting the right counter for a mobname and 2) resetting the counter or keeping the mobnames counters separate.

Can anyone help me out?

Can you give an example of what you see if you see multiple ones with the same name? Is it:

"Looking around you see:
Here a pickpocket
Here a pickpocket
Here a pickpocket
Here a thief" ?

It'd be easier if it was that organised, but mob names can be anywhere listed in the room, for example.

Looking around you see:
Here a robber
Here an axe murderer
Here an axe murderer
Here a burglar
Here a robber
Here an axe murderer
Here a robber
Here a burglar
Here a burglar


See how the mobnames aren't listed in categories, and can appear anywhere?

That's just one I got from the MUD just now.
