| Hello all
My triger is
<trigger
name="AuctLine"
group="auction"
enabled="y"
match="^Auction: (?P<sell_name>.*?) is auctioning.*$"
regexp="y"
ignore_case="y"
expand_variables="n"
script="auction_to_gt"
send_to="12"
sequence="10"
>
</trigger>
It triggers on something like:
Auction: Seller is auctioning an item (Level lvl 10, Num 111). Current bid is 100.
the trigger fires but when I try to use the variable it say's its a nil value.
the function I use :
function auction_to_gt (name,line,wildcards,styles)
if name == "AuctLine" then
SellName = (GetAliasWildcard ("AuctLine", "sell_name"))
Send ("gt " .. SellName)
return
end -- if
end --auction_to_gt
the error msg I get:
attempt to concatenate global 'SellName' (a nil value)
I can't seem to find what's wrong with it, so any help greatly appreciated.
And if I'm going all wrong with this please say so.
Cheers

This is a trigger, and you are calling GetAliasWildcard. That gets alias wildcards. You meant GetTriggerWildcard.
You can simplify it anyway, like this:
function auction_to_gt (name,line,wildcards,styles)
if name == "AuctLine" then
Send ("gt " .. wildcards.sell_name)
return
end -- if
end --auction_to_gt
The wildcards array, passed to this function will have the named wildcard there, you don't need to use GetAliasWildcard or GetTriggerWildcard.
And if this function is only ever called by that one trigger, just do this:
function auction_to_gt (name,line,wildcards,styles)
Send ("gt " .. wildcards.sell_name)
end --auction_to_gt

Thanks a lot.
That's what you get, when you use copy and past.
I'll use the simplified version makes it less complex.
The function won't be called only by that trigger, but thanks for the hint.
On a side note:Great program Nick,more support,improvement and so on then you could expect from a free program.
