Okay, I am having trouble setting a trigger for when the game outputs "You lose your concentration!"

What I want it to do is repeat the last spell/command entered so that it will save me having to retype the alias every time it fails. Is there an easy way to do this? Everything I have tried doesn't seem to work.

you need to make triggers based on your attempt messanging to set the command that will (possibly) need be redone

Depends how exactly it works and how fast the message comes after you enter a command. This might work though:

#trig {You lose your concentration!} {#exec %lastcom}

if your triggers keep executing other commands between when the command was first sent and when you get the concentration message, you'll need to use the more complicated method that shalimar is describing.

Suggestion:

Make a command input trigger with the following pattern:
Pattern: ^cast (*)$
Value: #VAR lastspell {%1}

This will capture the variable only when you type "cast <spellname>".

Then, make a trigger:
#TRIGGER {You lose your concentration!} {cast @lastspell}

That should do the trick.

Out of curiosity, is the command input trigger approach faster or better than doing it as an alias?
#alias cast {#var lastspell {%1};~cast %-1}
The result is essentially identical, but I always wondered if one was more efficient. Obviously a command input triger is more flexible because of wildcards, but in a situation like this where you don't need wildcards since the first word is always 'cast', are aliases better?

Or if you prefer an alias to a command input trigger
#ALIAS cast {lastSpell = %-1; ~cast %-1}
#TRIGGER {You lose your concentration!} {cast @lastSpell}
