without too much preamble here, i have a trigger set to collect some data off the prompt line. it works unless i enter a room that adds one or more set of brackets.
the trigger pulls everything you see there and sets it all as variables. it also throws out a second prompt line that shows some information i want. i didn't include it in these examples because they are in reaction to the line i did include.
so this is what happens if i go into another room with a visible flag:
here is the trigger:
i realize this is somewhat ugly. and i know that the error is that it is seeing the first set of brackets and then the line triggers and it's trying to do 'arithmetic' on a non-numerical line. i tried making it so it was only looking specifically for the lines i want, and removed the portion that would look for the start of a line hoping it would just ignore the [SAFE] bracket when it pops up. what do i need to do to make it ignore flags when they pop up. this is something that happens frequently and doesn't really affect the trigger but the annoying error is distracting. i appreciate the input.
