| 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. | | Top |

| Since you are adding to a variable I presume you are already scripting? So just test in the script, eg.
if string.match ("%0", "^%a+ tells you, .* for sale!$") then
return
end
Or even:
if string.match ("%0", "tells you, .* for sale!") then
return
end
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?

Scroll down to "negative lookbehind assertions". |
