when making an alias using #alias can you put #slow in it... such as...
#alias bot {#slow .25en25w.n #tr {#if An elven bard stands here} {kill bard} #tr {has been slain!} #ok}
im pretty sure thats not correct, if it isnt can someone show me the correct lay out?

I have language problems... has been slain! is captured, when he is killed befor you step in the room (a) or when you kill he (b)?

But i think, it is a little more difficult..

You can definetly put #SLOW in an alias as aliases are for making hard/long commands easier.

However, with your triggers, you want the triggers to read

#TR {An elven bard stands here} {#PAUSE;kill bard}
#CO {has been slain} {#STEP}

Someone correct me if I am wrong. I know the #PAUSE/#STEP is correct I only am unsure about using #CO in this instance.

But when the bard is not here, you can go away without any nessesary action.
Maybe make a variable, and set it 1 with the trigger, if bard presents, and then kill bard when variable = 1 and #ok when 0.

I have read the page about multi-state triggers, your is a good code, i think.

#CO is #COLOR. You want #CONDITION which is #COND.

heh...oops.

And you don't need to have any #IF's in the trigger. #PAUSE does exactly that, when the trigger pattern is matched, #PAUSE pauses the slowwalk until it receives the #STEP command, at which point it continues where it left off. If the Bard isn't there, the trigger never fires and the slow walk continues.

so how would i get my slow walk to go? everytime i enter it... it only does 1 room then says slow walk aborted

You need to create a separate trigger that checks for verification that you entered the room. Say, for example, you always had a line in each new room that included 'You see exits'. You would then

#TRIG {You see exits} {#OK}

If the compass is standard for each room in Materia, then you could trigger off it's top line.
