ok here's the trigger i can't get it to recognize when people need to be rescued I can point out where i think the problem is but have no idea how to solve it. I would really appreciate some help btw this is 6.62version:

#CLASS {zonerescue}
#ALIAS querescue {#var whom %1;#var priority %2;#IF (@priority==1) { #VAR rescue1 %ADDITEM( @whom, @rescue1)};#IF (@priority==2) {#VAR rescue2 %ADDITEM( @whom, @rescue2)};#IF (@priority==3) { #VAR rescue3 %ADDITEM( @whom, @rescue3)};#IF (@inrescue!=1) { dorescue}} : This is where i think one of the problems are with the @inrescue!=1
#ALIAS dorescue {#VAR torescue %item( @rescue1, 1);#IF (@torescue=="") {#VAR torescue %item( @rescue2, 1)};#IF (@torescue=="") {#VAR torescue %item( @rescue3, 1)};#IF (@torescue!="") {#VAR inrescue 1;rescue @torescue}} : And right here with the @torescue!=""
#ALIAS rescuecomplete {#VAR inrescue 0;#IF %ismember( @torescue, @rescue1) { #VAR rescue1 %delitem @torescue,rescue1};#IF %ismember( @torescue, @rescue2) { #VAR rescue2 %delitem @torescue,rescue2};#IF %ismember( @torescue, @rescue3) { #VAR rescue3 %delitem @torescue,rescue3}}
#CLASS 0

#CLASS {zonerescue}
#TRIGGER {({@attack}) ({@clerics})} {#IF (%ismember( %2, @rescue1)==0) { querescue %2 1}}
#TRIGGER {({@attack}) ({@casters})} {#IF (%ismember( %2, @rescue2)==0) { querescue %2 2}}
#TRIGGER {({@attack}) ({@psi})} {#IF (%ismember( %2, @rescue3)==0) { querescue %2 3}}
#TRIGGER {Banzai! To the rescue...} {#ECHO **************** RESCUED @torescue **********************;rescuecomplete;dorescue}
#TRIGGER {Maybe you should get on your feet first?} {#IF (@inrescue==1) { dorescue}}
#TRIGGER {But nobody is fighting} {#var inrescue 0;rescuecomplete;dorescue}
#TRIGGER {Who do you want to rescue?} {#ECHO *********** CANNOT RESCUE @torescue **************;rescuecomplete;#var inrescue 0;dorescue}
#TRIGGER {You fail the rescue.} {dorescue}
#TRIGGER {you follow} {#var rescue1 "";#var rescue2 "";#var rescue3 ""}
#CLASS 0

#CLASS {zonerescue}
#VAR attack {"wounds"|"hits"|"grazes"|"enshrouds"|"absolutely destroys"|"mighty kick sends"|"nearly slaughters"|"beats the crap out of"}
#VAR clerics {"Donken"|"Ehlissa"|"Tran"|"Golrith"|"Avena"|"Xia"|"Banda"}
#VAR casters {"Xeron"|"Xuen"|"Consola"|"Whorg"|"Xavio"|"Xziz"|"Karnik"|"Ishta"|"Xanth"|"Darg"|"Peeblo"|"Oraks"|"Nazl"|"Aktosh"}
#VAR psi {"Kju"|"Miz"|"Majid"|"Zalta"|"Allyciss"}
#CLASS 0

Believe it or not the script is fine. The problem appears to be in the variables.

#VAR attack {"wounds"|"hits"|"grazes"|"enshrouds"|"absolutely destroys"|"mighty kick sends"|"nearly slaughters"|"beats the crap out of"}
#VAR clerics {"Donken"|"Ehlissa"|"Tran"|"Golrith"|"Avena"|"Xia"|"Banda"}
#VAR casters {"Xeron"|"Xuen"|"Consola"|"Whorg"|"Xavio"|"Xziz"|"Karnik"|"Ishta"|"Xanth"|"Darg"|"Peeblo"|"Oraks"|"Nazl"|"Aktosh"}
#VAR psi {"Kju"|"Miz"|"Majid"|"Zalta"|"Allyciss"}

There shouldn't be double quotes in them. This generally wouldn't cause a problem, but appears to cause the triggers to not activate. Using the %stripq function with each variable will fix this.
#VAR attack {%stripq(@attack)}
#VAR casters {%stripq(@casters)}
#VAR clerics {%stripq(@clerics)}
#VAR psi {%stripq(@psi)}

i am still getting syntax errors with the ! in querescue and i think do rescue...could that be what's causing it?

#IF (@inrescue!=1) {dorescue}

yes, that could be a problem. Generally you should separate variables (red), operators (blue), and literals (green) with spaces. Without spaces, ZMud might confuse the command and either do something else entirely (ie, create a variable named @inrescue!, which I think is illegal) or throw up a false-positive syntax error.

ok i tried that and it still is giving me a syntax error pointing at the ! could it be that command doesn't register or something?

maybe you're missing a curly brace, or you have a surplus of them.
