How do I create a trigger to move me to the next room if there are no mobs in the room I just entered?

Is there some sort of command to execute a script upon entering a room? I couldn't find anything in the help files.

I tried using the timer to move that would be deactivated if there was a mob in the room, but if a lag burst hit things got messed up.

The room description when a mob is in the room looks something like this:

You are wandering on a foggy moor.
There are two obvious exits: north, south
There is a dog standing here.

The room description when there is no mob in the room looks like this:

You are wandering on a foggy moor.
There are two obvious exits: north, south

Thanks!

1. Use the #TRIGGER command, the Settings Editor, or the Command Wizard. Think about the information you receive when entering or looking at a room, and how you tell whether or not there is a mob present, then make triggers to duplicate your thinking.

In this case, I'm assuming you know there's not a mob when you get a blank line before you see one.

#TR {There are * obvious exit} {#VAR nomob 1}
#COND {^$} {#IF (@nomob) {move to the next room}}
#TR {standing here.$} {#VAR nomob 0}

2. There are several different ways of executing scripts when entering a room. Most of them are pretty obvious. Use the onroomenter alias. Make aliases for your movement commands. Use a trigger based on the text you receive when entering a room, such as the Exits line. Modify your movement macros to include the script.

That helped a lot.
