I'm using MUSH and we were on an aethertrip today, however I got a slight problem with this:

(Ship): (.*?) says, "TARGET: (.*?)."

In the SEND box:
send "turret target creature %2"
setvariable "target", "%2"

Then Send to: Script

then tick enabled, regular expressions and ignore case.

However, whenever our combatteer leader mentioned the target, it never nappend.

I don't have time to test this, but I think this is what's going on: Parentheses in a regular expression mean "capture this pattern as a wildcard variable". Consequently "(Ship)" matches on "Ship" and stores it to wildcard %1. Try escaping the parentheses: ^\\(Ship\\): (.*?) says, "TARGET: (.*?)."

The "Convert to Regular Expression" button works wonders.

Put into the "Trigger" box:


and click "Convert to Regular Expression."

Use that whenever you need a regex.

Likewise:

will work.
