Alias creating another trigger and untriggering it
 
How do you go about creating an alias that creates another trigger and a untrigger.

Something like...

I want to create an alias that when:

#alias autokillperson {#trigger {(%w) walks in.} {kill %1} {#untrig {(%w) walks in.}}

This doesn't work because it's giving me wierd bracket errors. Also, I want to contain this trigger within a class.

Best way to do this is by class juggling.

#ALIAS autokillperson {T+ autokilling}

#TRIGGER {(%w) walks in.} {kill %1;#T- autokilling} autokilling

Is it cleaner to do it this way?

In means of efficiency and "the way to do things"?

I dont remember which version began triggers with states. The examples given in explanation in the article on them were ... well.. less than useful to me, and I haven't gotten one to work yet, BUT.. I can tell you that you can use trigger states to do what you want.

The 0 state pattern would be "X enters" and you would proceded to kill. Once X enters, the trigger state advances to 1, where the pattern is "YOu kill X!" whereupon the trigger returns to 0 state and waits for X to arrive again.

Well, the reason I want to do this is because, I want to have control of when I want to kill someone when he/she walks in. But currently, if I triggered to kill the person when the person walks in, it would constantly keep killing the person as long as the person keeps walking in.

Basically, by creating an alias, I can control to kill him when he comes in and then would have to hit the alias again if I want to kill him again. Other than that, I want a one time kill person.

Well, maybe instead of creating a claas for the trigger you can add an id for it, but yes, it is EXTREMELY efficient for the purpose you desire.

Alot better than making a trigger a deleting a trigger over and over agian anyways.

Just being sure you realize, this will attack the first person to walk into the room -- not a specific person.

Oh I know, it's just an example I used. It's a bit more complicated than that but just needed to grab some ideas on going about it.
