Excluding a name from a trigger.

I know there is a VB function for this, but cannot find it.

Basicly I have a reply trigger set up so when someone sends me a tell it adds the name to a variable.

eg.

Scarn tells you: Hello.

I think type "r Heya."

The problem I am having is auctioneers also use the tell system and its pretty spammy, a lot of times in mid converstaion with someone an auctioneer will send me a tell and I will have to type the players name.

How can I exclude a name from the trigger?

For example if "Alexa tells you: Blah for sale!" I want Alexa NOT to be added to the variable.

Thanks,

Scarn.

Since you are adding to a variable I presume you are already scripting? So just test in the script, eg.



Or even:



Sorry, that isn't VBscript. Well you could do something similar. Or switch to Lua. ;)

Gah, I refuse to learn Lua - took me long enough to get to grips with VB. :P

This is my trigger.

Upon seeing "Someone tells you: Something"

I return:

setvariable "Reply", "%1"

I remember there being a function that was something like

*(!Alexa|John) tells you: *

that would stop Alexa/John from being added to the variable?
