I use the following trigger to autojoin the tank in battle

TRIGGER {@title punch} {#if {@incombat = "no"} {join @tank}}
#TRIGGER {@title hit} {#if {@incombat = "no"} {join @tank}}
#TRIGGER {@title bite} {#if {@incombat = "no"} {join @tank}}
#TRIGGER {@title whip} {#if {@incombat = "no"} {join @tank}}
#TRIGGER {@title slash} {#if {@incombat = "no"} {join @tank}}
#TRIGGER {@title crush} {#if {@incombat = "no"} {join @tank}}
#TRIGGER {@title smash} {#if {@incombat = "no"} {join @tank}}
#TRIGGER {@title pierce} {#if {@incombat = "no"} {join @tank}}

but it doesnt always kick in right after the first hit, generally right after the first round of combat and it sees X hits several times before incombat is = to yes. Is there a way to fix this? Lags me up a bit and the onjoin triggers dont hit as fast as i would like

#IF statement should be in ().

#TRIGGER {@title pierce} {#if (@incombat = "no") {join @tank}}

You might need to expand the @title variable by surrounding it with {}.

#TRIGGER {{@title} pierce} {#if (@incombat = "no") {join @tank}}

curly braces mean something entirely different in trigger patterns, so unless @title is actually a stringlist this isn't what you want.

The trigger works just fine, only it sees the text multiple times and sends 'join @tank' several times... What i'm asking is if there is anyway to only send it once.

You need to change the incombat value once you're in combat.

#TRIGGER {@title word} {#if (@incombat = "no") {join @tank; #VAR incombat "yes"}}

Remember to change it back to "no" once you're out of combat.

In my script I have other triggers that set the incombat variable back to no. The code you gave me Slaem is the exact same code I use in my script, only you suggest I set the incombat variable equal to yes after I issue the command join @tank. I set the incombat variable to yes only after I see the text, you hit/slash/bite. What I am asking here is this: Is there a way only respond once. When running I tend to lag and I am not always able to join the tank as quick as I'd like. The text @title hits/slashes/bites is seen several times before I accually join, making the trigger send join tank several times. This is unnecessary and creates more lag. That is the problem I am trying to correct here. I'm not sure I can clarify this any more.
Thanks for all the suggestions, more are welcome.

#TRIGGER {@title {punch|hit|bite|whip|slash|crush|smash|pierce}} {#IF (@incombat = "no") {join @tank}}

This would be a good start to taking all those triggers down into one.

As for your other problem... I'm not sure.

Maybe another variable is needed to monitor when you're joined and when you're not.

You could #VAR JoinedToTank 1 when you join him, and set up another trigger with #VAR JoinedToTank 0 when you're not joined to him.

I think that's how I'd do it.

mebbe make a trigger for whatever it says when yu fail to join @tank to set incombat = "no"

How about a conditional state to look for the confirmation that you've joined the tank and then return to state 0 once the mob has been slain? Added the alias to turn it on and off.

#ALIAS partyon {#T+ JoinTank; #STATE JoinTank 0}
#ALIAS partyoff {#T- JoinTank}
#TRIGGER JoinTank {@title {punch|hit|bite|whip|slash|crush|smash|pierce}} {#IF (@incombat = "no") {join @tank}} "" {disable}
#COND {you've joined message.} {#VAR incombat "yes"}
#COND {target has been slain message.} {#VAR incombat "no"; #STATE 0}

(written w/o access to zmud - check for bugs)

- are the #IF and #VAR necessary with a conditional? -

Edit: Added #STATE to partyon to reset JoinTank.
