Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone could help me with how I would create a trigger. Basically lets say there are 1, 2, 3 or more identical mobiles (let's call them Guard) in a room and and I would like to do three things. Note - they do not aid eachother.

What I would like to do to each individually is:
- firstly cast 'sleep' guardian
- If it fails the mud says two things... "you lose concentration, and your spell has no effect" if that's the case I would like the trigger to recast until the guard "falls to sleep"
- once asleep I would like to do an action E.G backstab guard.
- If a guard walks in, to repeat the same sequence.

I understand some triggers but I think this is far above my weight category! If someone could explain in layman's terms how I could create something like this it would be fantastic. I think it would need some kind of multiline catch to recognise that there is more than one mobile in the room...

I would really appreciate the help!!!

This isn't going to be constructive at all but...

GOTO's are the devil! STAY AWAY!

Bare with me

I would setup an alias

call it, fight for lack of better term

#var target %1
cast sleep @target
#t+ stabem

create a new class, called stabem
put these 2 triggers into that class

first trigger
pattern = you lose concentration, and your spell has no effect

action = cast sleep @target

second trigger
pattern = guard falls asleep

action = backstab guard
#t- stabem

As far as the trigger to attack guards that enter, just make a trigger for "Guard arrives" or whatever the string is
and make the action , fight guard, this way it starts the loop from the fight alias. this trigger wont be in the stabem class...

Hey, thanks very much for the help with the alias - i really appreciate this!!!

The only problem i can see here is that if there are 3 or more in the room...

There needs to be something to recognise that and type cast 'spell' guard, then cast 'spell' 2.guard and cast 'spell' 3.guard and so on...

If i set up that alias for recasting.. And i fail on the second guard... Then the recast would hit the 1st one and not the 2.guard.

How would i set it so that if i walk into the room... see 3 guards, cast 'spell' guard, 2.guard and so on,... and if during this there is a fail, it recasts the same equation e.g 2.guard.

If you could help, that would be great!
