My character has a few regular beneficiary spell-affects that comes from wearing a special item. Occassionally the spell-affect is dispelled and I need to re-wear the item again.

I want to write a trigger that covers this, that is:
1. Checks my current spell-affects
2. Compare these spell-affects with a "master string list" that contains ALL "regular spell-affects".
3. If some of the spell-affects are missing I want to re-wear that particular item.

The way I think about it this covers at least two (maybe three) different lists:

List1 (stringList): Stores my current spell-affects
List2 (recVariable): Stores all beneficiary spell-affects AND which item it belongs to.

EXAMPLE
List1:
pass door
fireshield

List2:
pass door = mask
fireshield = boot
armor = helm
sanctuary = amulet

So, in this case I'm missing two beneficiary spells (armor and sanctuary) and hence I want the trigger to rem helm; wear helm; rem amulet; wear amulet.

From a similar posting I received following line from LightBulp but I'm unable to use it in this particular example...

#FORALL @stringlist2 {#IF (%ismember( {%i}, @stringlist1)) {} {cast %i}}

Any help as always much appreciated!

The only real difficulty here is the trigger to create the first variable and initiate the actions. Can't do that for you, since I don't know how you get the information or how you tell when you've reached the end of it. The simplest answer, of course, is to just remove and rewear everything in the second variable.

#ADDK List2 {pass door=mask|fireshield=boot|armor = helm|sanctuary=amulet}
#TR {Pattern to match affects listing} {#ADDI List1 {%1}}
#TR {Pattern to indicate end of affects listing} {#LOOPDB @List2 {#IF (%ismember( %key, @List1)) {} {remove %val;wear %val}};#VAR List1 {}}
