In the mud I play at, Jedimud, there is a spell called "sanctuary" that runs out every 8 tics (about 75 seconds to a tic). I can't figure out how to make it work so that when sanctuary falls on the person tanking, it will re-sanc the tank if not in combat, or wait for the end of combat to re-sanc the tank. @tank is my tank's name.

I'm completely baffled by this one since all my attempts have failed. Any help would be appreciated. I'm bad with #IF commands, so that's what's hurting with the noncombat/combat problem. The 8 tics I can make it wait, but it tends to block other spells for that duration with the #wa command so that's a no-go. :-)

First of all, is there a specific text that indicates that a person is fighting? Second of all, WAIT commands tend to do just that - WAIT. It's better to use ALARM in triggers. And there's an easy way to set that up, too. But, I need more information. What you've given me is what you want, but without actual MUD example, I'm at a loss. However, I will do what I can from your information. Read thouroughly before implementing, though.

#ALIAS sanc {cast sanc on @tank;#ALARM +600 {#SAY Sanc ran out}}
#TRIGGER {^Sanc ran out} {look;#IF (@tankfighting = no) {sanc}}
#TRIGGER {@tank is FIGHTING!} {#var tankfighting {yes}}
#TRIGGER {@tank the warrior %*} {#var tankfighting {no}}

This is untested. Also, this would only work in the following situation:

Combat:
Charneus is FIGHTING a sandworm!

Non-Combat:
Charneus the warrior is resting here.

If you could post some actual MUD text, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Well, I think I can get it from your post just with modifying it for personal use, thanks for the help and I'll see if I can get it to work from there. Thanks a lot. :-)
