for example i get this text in game

The pot has boiled away all the liquid inside it.

but i only want it to fire after i rescieves this message eight times. as i'll be using eight pots. i tried a simple one but it spammed the commands for each message i got.

potboil = 1
<do what you wanna do here>

hmm nothing...here lemme give you exactly what shows in game and what i want it to do to the letter.

i get this

The pot has boiled away all the liquid inside it.
-h:502 e:352 s:250-
The pot has boiled away all the liquid inside it.
-h:502 e:352 s:250-
The pot has boiled away all the liquid inside it.
-h:502 e:352 s:250-
The pot has boiled away all the liquid inside it.
-h:502 e:352 s:250-
The pot has boiled away all the liquid inside it.
-h:502 e:352 s:250-
The pot has boiled away all the liquid inside it.
-h:502 e:352 s:250-
The pot has boiled away all the liquid inside it.
-h:502 e:352 s:250-
The pot has boiled away all the liquid inside it.

now i want it to do this

get compound from @pot1;get compound from @pot2;get compound from @pot3;get compound from @pot4;get compound from @pot5;get compound from @pot6;get compound from @pot7;get compound from @pot8;#8 pulverize compound;put paste in @pot1;put paste in @pot2;put paste in @pot3;put paste in @pot4;put paste in @pot5;put paste in @pot6;put paste in @pot7;put paste in @pot8;fill @pot1;fill @pot2;fill @pot3;fill @pot4;fill @pot5;fill @pot6;fill @pot7;fill @pot8;boil @pot1;boil @pot2;boil @pot3;boil @pot4;boil @pot5;boil @pot6;boil @pot7;boil @pot8

and i'd like to have a switch. normally i use somthing like 'apot' and tell it #var pot 1;#echo You will now continue to boil. etc. i apologise if this is a tad complex and confuseing and appreciate any help you can offer

I don't get all the details so I'm just going to give you what I can.

#CLASS {testing}
#ALIAS Potgame {
#T+ Pottrig
#SET pottrig 0 0
#STATE Pottrig
}
#TRIGGER "pottrig" {^The pot has boiled away all the liquid inside it. } {#ECHO First pot boiled} "" {disable}
#COND {^The pot has boiled away all the liquid inside it. } {#ECHO Second pot boiled} {disable}
#COND {^The pot has boiled away all the liquid inside it. } {#ECHO Third pot boiled} {disable}
#COND {^The pot has boiled away all the liquid inside it. } {#ECHO Fourth pot boiled} {disable}
#COND {^The pot has boiled away all the liquid inside it. } {#ECHO Fifth Pot Boiled} {disable}
#COND {^The pot has boiled away all the liquid inside it. } {#ECHO Sixth pot boiled} {disable}
#COND {^The pot has boiled away all the liquid inside it. } {#ECHO Seventh pot boiled} {disable}
#COND {^The pot has boiled away all the liquid inside it. } {
#ECHO Eighth pot boiled
#LOOP 8 {get compound from @pot%i}
#ALARM +2 {pulverize compound}
#ALARM +4 {#LOOP 8 {put paste in @pot%i}}
#ALARM +6 {#LOOP 8 {fill @pot%i}}
#ALARM +8 {#LOOP 8 {boil @pot%i}}
#ALARM +10 {#T- pottrig}
} {disable}
#CLASS 0

type potgame to activate the trigger
from what I understand there is already stuff inside you pots beforehand
and I don't know if you @pot1 is a variable or is a pot named @pot1 also I don't know how fast the commands can be shot out and finally I don't understand exactly what you mean by a switch 'apot' and so on
