[^yells]
I don't think that will work properly. That matches a single letter, which is *not* one of: y, e, l, s.
If you are trying to exclude multiple things, the simplest way to go about it is probably to match anything, and then test for the exclusions in a small script, like this:
<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
group="Eagle Eye/Farsight"
keep_evaluating="y"
match="^\*(.*)\*\s+(.*)$"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>
-- exclusions
if string.match ([===[%2]===], "^yells") or
[===[%2]===] == "is here." then
return
end
-- not excluded? send it
Send ("gt *%1* is at %2")
</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>
That doesn't try to exclude things like "is here" in the regular expression, but it then tests in the script for a match on "yells <something" or "is here.".
I used the slightly unusual form of Lua quotes because someone might cause your script to fail by putting quotes in what they say. eg.

| | I did some experimentation way back about the %1 placeholder strings, and it turns out that MUSHclient escapes the quotes for you before inserting into the script code. You really can just use "%1" and not worry about it. |

| Yes, I keep forgetting it does that. :)
So this will work:
<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
group="Eagle Eye/Farsight"
keep_evaluating="y"
match="^\*(.*)\*\s+(.*)$"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>
-- exclusions
if string.match ("%2", "^yells") or
"%2" == "is here." then
return
end
-- not excluded? send it
Send ("gt *%1* is at %2")
</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>

| It's not a plugin, it is a single trigger. Just copy that into the client:

For advice on how to copy the above, and paste it into MUSHclient, please see Pasting XML.

Yes, 12 is send-to-script. Don't try to copy and paste individual lines, follow the instructions on the link there.
It should work as-is, the exclusions are in the small bit of script that is there. |
