Trying to make a trigger which does something UNLESS it sees a (certain) line immediately after it. Right now I am using #waitfor, but the line in question would always be immediately after the trigger's pattern. Initially i tried to do it with condition, but I couldn't find a syntax to make it work for the logic I want. within|param= seemed close, but i could only execute the command if the second pattern was found, I need it to go off if the second pattern is NOT found

Basically

if (pattern 1 is found)
{
if (pattern 2 is right after pattern1)
{nothing}
else {command}

This is how I did it with waitfor, but I do not like using waitfor when its always the next line, and I am certain there is a better way.

<trigger priority="1060" id="106">
<pattern>*suddenly attacks ({@RescTargs})!</pattern>
<value>#Waitfor {(%w) bravely steps in front of (%1), shielding him from harm!}
90 {}
{
#IF (%ismember(%1,ToRescue)) {} {ToRescue = %push(%1,ToRescue)}
#if (@AutoRescue = 1) {resc %pop(ToRescue)
#ECHO RESCING WHOEVER NOW
}

}
</value>
</trigger>

Thanks for any tips,

Use a second state within 1 line like you said, but make the pattern ^(*)$ to capture the next line whatever it is, then check if it matches whatever you want in the code.

Hrm, thats a good idea but the next line would be ^(%w) bravely steps in front of (%1), shielding him from harm!$

so I'd have to do a bit of work to break the string down in various ways to see if it matches since the variable portions will change, which i think is kind of a pain. Is there really no simpler method available? :/

This should do it:
