Trigger matching an expanding variable

<variable name="names">trevize|crean|kacie|zeltik</variable>

<trigger
expand_variables="y"
ignore_case="y"
match="^(\w+) waves (his|her) hands quickly in front of the eyes of a Vodun doll of @!names\.$"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>Note("Matched")</send>
</trigger>


It's quite obvious what I want to do. I'm sorry for most likely asking for an answer that is somewhere in this forum already but I've been searching for a hour or so now..

Also the reason I want to match a variable instead of adding it into the trigger itself by doing (crean|zelik|trevize|kacie) is that I have many triggers with these specific names and I want to be able to change the names easily.

Thanks

You want to put parentheses around that: (@!names)

This is incredibly confusing, haha, every time I see a post from you I think it's from one of my friends who also uses the name Trevize. But he has a different alias on these forums... >_<

EDIT: For what it's worth, yes, it's obvious what you want to do, but it is far from obvious what the issue you're having is.

For future code posts:




Same thing I said to myself. I was like 'Oh comon Trevize, you know WAY better than that'. Then I remembered that's not his S/N here.

Twisols answer is correct. Must have an expanded variable group in ()'s in a trigger match.
