Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -set as A substring

Collapse Actions
-------- filter out the "-set " --------
Set tmpstr = (Substring((Entered chat string), 5, (Length of (Entered chat string))))
-------- now the actual filtering of the text --------
Collapse For each (Integer A) from 1 to (Length of tmpstr), do (Actions)
Collapse Loop - Actions
-------- Search for a white space --------
Collapse If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

(Substring(tmpstr, (Integer A), (Integer A))) Equal to

-------- and then check if the user wants lumber to be changed and set the variable to the given value --------
Collapse If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
Collapse If - Conditions
(Substring(tmpstr, 1, ((Integer A) - 1))) Equal to lumber
Collapse Then - Actions
Set Lumber = (Integer((Substring(tmpstr, ((Integer A) + 1), (Length of tmpstr)))))
Else - Actions
Else - Actions

that should be it.
Oh and what you are looking for is the Conversion function.

Add to Deaod's trigger (in the end) this:
Trigger:
TextEntered
-------- Registering events --------
Collapse Player Group - Pick every player in (All allies of Player 1 (Red)) and do (Actions)
Collapse Actions
Trigger - Add to Win <gen> the event (Player - (Picked Player)'s Current lumber becomes >= Lumber)
and remove existing event in "Win".

i can't find Lumber :(

"Lumber" is integer variable (if you still don't created it, press [ctrl]+[b] and do it).

it's a integer but it only shows reals not integer

Hmm, sorry, I missed types). Use "conversion - integer to real":
Trigger:
TextEntered
-------- Registering events --------
Collapse Player Group - Pick every player in (All allies of Player 1 (Red)) and do (Actions)
Collapse Actions
Trigger - Add to Win <gen> the event (Player - (Picked Player)'s Current lumber becomes >= Real(Lumber))
By the way, if player 1 will type "-set" twice (or more), there can be some bugs in registering events. For example, player wrote "-set 44" and then "-set 77" - trigger will proc, if lumber of any player becomes >= 44.
To prevent this bug, create boolean variable Lumber_set and modify trigger:
Trigger:
TextEntered
Collapse Events
Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -set as A substring
Collapse Conditions
Lumber_set equal to No
Collapse Actions
set Lumber_set = Yes
-------- filter out the "-set " --------
Set tmpstr = (Substring((Entered chat string), 5, (Length of (Entered chat string))))
-------- remaining actions --------

Wait 1.00 seconds
Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

Why there are so many copies of trigger "Win"? I think that these copies contains similar actions, so they can be compiled in one flexible trigger.
And watch out where you place event registration. I realized that second condition is unneeded.
Trigger:
KillSetting
Collapse Events
Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -kill as A substring
Conditions
Collapse Actions
Set tempstr = (Substring((Entered chat string), 6, (Length of (Entered chat string))))
Collapse For each (Integer A) from 1 to (Length of tempstr), do (Actions)
Collapse Loop - Actions
Collapse If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
Collapse If - Conditions
(Substring(tempstr, (Integer A), (Integer A))) Equal to
Collapse Then - Actions
Set lumber = (Integer((Substring(tempstr, ((Integer A) + 1), (Length of tempstr)))))
Collapse Player Group - Pick every player in (All Players) and do (Actions)
Collapse Loop - Actions
Trigger - Add to Win <gen> the event (Picked Player)'s Current gold becomes Greater than or equal to (Real(lumber)))
Else - Actions
Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
This should work properly, I hope.
