^(\w+)\'s mana stands at (\d+)\/(\d+)\.$

to send

if math.floor (%2/%3 * 100) < 50 then
Send("slap @target")
end

sending to the script with expand variables box checked and regular expression checked

However nothing is firing ...what is wrong with my code

First, please post the whole trigger, as described here:

For advice on how to copy aliases, timers or triggers from within MUSHclient, and paste them into a forum message, please see Copying XML.

Second, please copy and paste a line from the MUD that you think should fire the trigger.

Thanks.

command: contemplate Jack

output:


Jack's mana stands at 9250/9300. 99.462365591398
Jack is operating in normal time.
Jack is not insane.

I would like the trigger to fire off the first line (Jack's mana stands at 9250/9300.)

The line from the MUD is:


Jack's mana stands at 9250/9300. 99.462365591398

It ends in 99.462365591398 which you haven't allowed for in the trigger.

If you omit the final "$" it will match.

The 99.462365591398 is an echo from the script, not from the game itself. Does that change anything?

And what boxes on the right should I be checking?

This might better explain the situation:https://pasteboard.co/HiW2j6n.png

I need to see exactly what arrives from the MUD, to judge whether or not the trigger matches.

In this particular case, of course, he doesn't have less than 50% mana. If you edit the trigger you can see how many times it has fired.

As a general rule, triggers don't match lines which are from a script. So your statement that it is an echo from a script (and your script doesn't echo anything) means there is more here than meets the eye.
