Quick menu item I had to make a trigger is not working like it used to.
 
So I have a quickmenu item that adds a trigger...

#trigger {<%selline>} {doHunt <%selword>} AutoHunt|@autoHuntZone
#say @autoHuntZone - Hunt Added %selword - %selline

@autoHuntZone is "NewZone"
and all of this used to work flawlessly...
I've come back a few years later since I mudded and now when I highlight a word, and right click and Choose Add to Hunt
it all "almost" works....

Example:
A dwarven stagehand is here going about his business.
(I highlight stagehand)

it creates a trigger
A dwarven stagehand is here going about his business.
with the action of:
dohunt <%selword>

(it should be making the action: dohunt stagehand )

and then it shows me via #say
NewZone - Hunt Added stagehand - A dwarven stagehand is here going about his business.


So the question is, if not when zmud changed the operation of using %selword to make a trigger, but really, how to fix it.
I have tried <{%selword}> %%selword %{selword} I just can't get it to work inside the trigger...

Thanks!

Edit: P.S.
if I right click any word, and I manually use this command:
#trigger {<%selline>} {doHunt %selword} AutoHunt|@autoHuntZone

it works.
it makes the trigger action: dohunt stagehand

it just does not seem, to work from the quick menu, it also does not work if I make an alias addHunt

Cobble it together with %concat, then #EXEC it:

#EXEC %concat("#TRIGGER {", %selline, "} {dohunt ", %selword, "} {AutoHunt|", @autoHuntZone, "}")

Hey thanks for the reply!

I had found this "cludge"; it stunk to have to do more steps, but at least it got all the stuff typed out.

#input {#trigger {%selline} {doHunt %selword} AutoHunt|@autoHuntZone}


The concat works without having to hit enter on the input line thanks!

#EXEC %concat("#TRIGGER {", %selline, "} {dohunt ", %selword, "} {AutoHunt|", @autoHuntZone, "}")
