| Alright, I've been trying this for a day or two now and I just can't get it right.
What I'm trying to do is this:
I want a trigger to react to a part of a line which is:
As a reward, I am giving you 51 quest points
However, I also want it to extract the numerical value, in this case 51.
Essentially react to:
As a reward, I am giving you x quest points
And then be able to use the x value for a command.
Like simply "say x"
Is it impossible or am I just a little too daft? ;)
Help would be much appreciated.

| Thanks! That helped a bit.
However, I can't quite get it to work at all.
This is how I configured my trigger:
<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
match="As a reward, I am giving you * quest points"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>
qt = tonumber (GetVariable ("qt")) or 0
qt = qt + %1
SetVariable ("qt", qt)
</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>
And the only result is a scripting error occuring claiming "can't use parenthesis when calling a Sub" at SetVariable ("qt", qt)
I can't quite figure out what I'm doing wrong, since I'm quite new to this stuff.
Once again, help would be much appreciated :)

| | It looks like you're writing Lua code, but the error message you're getting looks like VBScript. Try making sure you have the right script engine enabled for your triggers. |
