I am having difficulty using the wildcards (%1, %2, etc). I was unable to find a HELP topic clearly explaining their use in triggers.

What I want to do is make a trigger that responds to the MUD like so:

MUDTEXT: Ragnor disbands his group.
COMMAND: Follow Ragnor

I made the trigger: ^.+ disbands his group.
and I made the send: follow %1

I checked "Enabled" and "Regular expression"

When I tried the trigger, the client only inputted "follow". I changed the send to "follow %2" but that didn't work either. How exactly are these cards used? Sorry if this is (another) stupid question!!

You need to use brackets to tell the regular expression to "output" the match. This way some wildcards can return (as %1, %2 etc.) and others not.

Just change your regular expression to:

^(.+) disbands his group.


and then send: follow %1
