Trying to get my health variable to do a trigger

Basically, I want to make a trigger than activates when my health is below a certain threshold.

This is what the prompt looks like, it is sent after each line of output.

1672h, 1128m, 1197e, 0p, 6380en, 4310w ex-


Health is the first variable.

What I did is, I made a trigger with this as the tagline

^*h, *m, *e, *p, *en, *w ex-$

And I set this as the code (lua, and I am sending to script)

health=%1
mana=%2

if health<400 then
send("Health is low! Escape)
end

But it did nothing... Can someone explain to me what I'm doing wrong?

The problem is your use of the asterisk (*). With regex disabled, it means "match stuff here". With regex enabled, it means "0 or more of the previous character".

Here's a full trigger I made for Achaea that should hopefully work for you. I assume you're playing Lusternia or Imperian, so it will need some tweaking, but I hope it's not too hard to see how it works.



This one is capturing nothing, just matching on any (Achaean) prompt. You can capture any of them by putting () around one of them, like (\d+)h for capturing health, or (e)?(x)? to capture your equilibrium and balance. Like so:



With this setup, health is %1, equilibrium is %2, and balance is %3. Again, you'll need to make adjudments for the prompt style of your MUD. For example, to add your "p" and "en" stats:

try it like so mebbe?


if %1<400 then
send("Health is low! Escape)
end

Don't forget the trailing quote:



And Lua is case-sensitive so it is Send, not send.

And since I doubt the MUD recognizes "Health is low!" you probably mean Note, not Send.
