I want to create a trigger to auto assist someone. Right now I created a trigger with the pattern, Gandalf IMPALES and then for the command I put assist Bilbo. but everytime Gandalkf impales the mob I assist. How do I assist just once when i'm fighting?

I would prolly put the Assist trigger in a calss called assist and then in that class create triggers:
#TR (Gandalf IMPALES) {assist bilbo;#t- assist}
And then a trigger for when the mob dies(you will prolly wanna change the state for this one depending on ur mud output when a mob snuffs it:
#TR (%w is dead RIP.) {#t+ assist}

Are you wanting to assist only when Gandalf impales Bilbo? If so then you need to include the word Bilbo in your string. What's the exact format of the string sent to your terminal from the mud? If you only want to assist once period and not again, put the trigger in its own folder and append #T- name to turn itself off.
'#TRIGGER {gandalf impales bilbo} {assist bilbo;#T- assist} {assist}' will create the trigger and put it in the class 'assist'. You can then create an alias or toggle button to turn the class on or off as you desire. Hope that helps

Ok i can try Smile

Now i dont know how it looks when whoever u are fighting dies in this mud but in the one o play it says : Mobname is dead. RIP! So where it says that just put whatever it says in ur mud..And replace the name of the mob with a (*) (this will make it work on all mobs...)

#class Assist
#tr {Gandalf IMPALES} {#t- assist;assist bilbo} {assist}
#tr {(*) is dead. RIP!} {#- assist}

It only works once and then stops. Here is the exact text my client and mud are.
Bilbo IMPALES the Black Rook!!
The Black Rook is dead! R.I.P.

I then typed in your lines which were

#class Assist
#tr {Bilbo IMPALES} {#t- assist;assist bilbo} {assist}
#tr {(*) is dead. RIP!} {#t+ assist}

But it works only once and then stops..what is wrong with these lines?

Your pattern isn't matching up.

You said the text from your MUD upon mob death is The <mob> is dead. R.I.P.

But your t+ trigger is using a different pattern, so the trigger isn't firing ever (which is why it's only working once.)

Change your t+ trigger to the following:

#tr {(*) is dead! R.I.P.} {#t+ assist}

Keep in mind that since you are matching up the entire line, you need to double check spaces. Is there one space or two after the "!"? Once the text is matched 100%, your trigger should work fine :)

Your current trigger (if you typed what you said) is in the Assist|assist class. I'd suggest deleting the Assist class, including all its settings, and starting over. Here's the script (note that it doesn't use the #CLASS command):

#tr {Bilbo IMPALES} {assist bilbo;#t- assist} {assist}
#tr {is dead. RIP!} {#t+ assist}
