I'm going to have multiple connections to a mud and I want to create an 'auto assist' type thing for some of the windows. In my old client I'd just trigger something like "$assistvariableguy massacres" = assist, etc and then make an alias #alias {autto %1} {#var assistvariableguy %1}. And all I had to do was type 'autto warrior' and my char would assist always. It worked fine but it assists even when it's already assisting and I want to fix that.

This is a typical round when I'm in combat and don't need to assist:

358H 137V 1X 0C [Me:Perfect] [Warrior:Fair] [a shadow:Awful] Mem:3>
A shadow hits Warrior hard.
Warrior massacres a shadow with his slash.
You miss a shadow with your pierce.
358H 137V 1X 0C [Me:Perfect] [Warrior:V.Bad] [a shadow:Awful] Mem:3>

And if I were out of combat and need to assist:

358H 137V 1X 0C Mem:2>
A shadow hits Warrior hard.
Warrior massacres a shadow with his slash.
358H 137V 1X 0C Mem:2>

I want to know if it's possible to do something similar to what i had for all character windows I want. So, I'd like to still be able to type 'autto Steve' or something like that and the multiple character windows i want to assist will assist.

Thanks!

The easiest way would be to have an Assisting variable that you set to 1 when you start assisting and 0 when you kill the enemy. You can then check if the variable is set using the #if command. For example:

#alias as {#if (@Assisting) {assist %1;#var Assisting 1}}
#trig {(*) has died.} {#var Assisting 0}

You could also give the trigger that makes you assist an ID and turn it off with the #t- command.
