I play on a mud which has a mob called 'Rahnkara' which you want to follow

So the mud echoes:
"Rahnkara the Highpriestess leaves south"
then you want to do 'south' as command

seems simple but I cannot get it to work

I have tried using Rahnkara the Highpriestess leaves %w as trigger, which works

But then as command: %1 does nothing.

Tried Rahnkara the Highpriestess leaves &{direction}

and then as command:
&direction

same thing.. so how do I do this?

p.s. the zmud help doesn't work either on win 10.

%w on its own will be used to determine whether the trigger is matched and fires, but it doesn't capture anything. You need to put parentheses around what you wish to capture, in this case your trigger would be Rahnkara the Highpriestess leaves (%w)

After that, the word after leaves will be available to you via %1.
