Hello, i'm having a problem with creating a trigger.

The line i'm trying to match is following:

A Kobold has set off your frost beacon at A Tropical Sandy Beach!

The trigger i came up with is


  <trigger
   custom_colour="7"
   enabled="y"
   match="(A|An) (.*) has set off your beacon at (.*)!"
   regexp="y"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>asd</send>
  </trigger>

Can you guys help me with getting the right trigger?

Message from MUD: ... your frost beacon ...
You are matching on: ... your beacon ...

See the problem?

No way, thank you so much! Second set of eyes can be truly helpful at times :)
