I have the following setup

#ALIAS ridehome {
@mono = 0
@pickupmono = 0
ih
#temp {Number of objects:} {
#IF (@mono = 0) {'Ride Home} {
get monolith
#wait 250
#IF (@pickupmono = 1) {
#wait 500
ridehome1
} {
%lf
#ECHO *****************
#ECHO ****MONO HERE****
#ECHO *****************
}}}}

#ALIAS ridehome1 {
@mono = 0
@pickupmono = 0
ih
#temp {Number of objects:} {
#IF (@mono = 0) {'Ride Home} {
get monolith
#wait 250
#IF (@pickupmono = 1) {
#wait 500
ridehome
} {
%lf
#ECHO *****************
#ECHO ****MONO HERE****
#ECHO *****************
}}}}

#KEY PGDN {ridehome}

Here is my MUD output

3198h, 2153m ex-ih
"totem48109" a runic totem
"sigil273742" a monolith sigil
Number of objects: 2
3198h, 2153m ex-

Basicly what I want to happen is...If I push PGDN i want it to check for a monolith, If its there I want to pick it up, If its successfull at picking it up (sometimes it wont be) then I want it to restart the alias and do it all again. I will paste the output my mud gives when this alias is actually used.

3198h, 2153m ex-ih
"sigil57074" a key-shaped sigil
"sigil54378" a monolith sigil
Number of objects: 2
get monolith
3198h, 2153m ex-You pick up a monolith sigil.
3198h, 2153m ex-ih
'Ride Home
"sigil57074" a key-shaped sigil
Number of objects: 1
3198h, 2153m ex-
You say, "Ride Home."

In this case It should fire the 'ride home as it did, but if you will notice it did not wait till after the second -Number of Objects:- before it fired. Had there been another monolith in the room besides the one I picked up it would have fired incorrectly, How can I fix this?

The objective is to pick up monoliths until there aren't any. So, just keep trying to pick them up until you get an error message. You'll need another trigger for when the monolith is there but you don't pick it up. I don't know the pattern, but it would probably be the one you use for @pickupmono. It just does another 'get monolith' (with a wait beforehand if needed). You might also want one to handle flame-sigiled monoliths.
#AL ridehome {#T+ rh1;#T+ rh2;get monolith}
#TR rh1 {You pick up a monolith sigil} {}
#COND {} {get monolith} {Wait|Param=750}
#TR rh2 {I see no ~"monolith~" to take} {#T- rh1;#T- rh2;'Ride Home}

It wont even try to pick up a mono unless there is one there, and flame sigiled monos are the only kind I wouldnt be able to pick up, my issue is on the second run thru of the alias it doesnt wait for the TEMP trigger to fire, the alias in and of itself works right, exept the part I mentioned.

If, as it appears, this is for Achaea, then yes you can try to pick up a monolith which isn't there and get the error message I used. And since you won't be able to pick up a flamed monolith, I added a trigger for that. This isn't an add-on to what you already have, it's a complete replacement.

#AL ridehome {#T+ rh1;#T+ rh2;#T+ rh3;get monolith}
#TR rh1 {You pick up a monolith sigil} {}
#COND {} {get monolith} {Wait|Param=750}
#TR rh2 {I see no ~"monolith~" to take} {#T- rh1;#T- rh2;#T- rh3;'Ride Home}
#TR rh3 {You quickly pull your hand back as a flame sigil} {#T- rh1;#T- rh2;#T- rh3;'Ride Home}
