I'm wondering if there would be a more simple way to do all this by using temporary triggers and a single alias.
The goal: Start my regeneration spell. If it fails, recast it. When mana is full, perform two spells that don't require error checking. Start process all over.

Here's what I'm thinking:

Have a single autoTrain alias. This alias creates three temporary triggers.

(#TEMP docs say that a #TEMP will occur once and delete once it executes, which works perfectly in this case)

Trigger 1: Executes on text "spell failed" or "spell fizzled" or "fumbled spell"
This trigger waits 5 seconds and re-executes the autoTrain alias.

Trigger 2: Executes on text "not enough mana"
This trigger uses my "heal" alias, waits 5 seconds, and re-executes the autoTrain alias.

Trigger 3: Executes on text "You cast regeneration"
Since this trigger executed, the other two will not. This trigger should DELETE the first two temporary triggers (since this trigger executed, it will be deleted automatically) and create a new temporary trigger.

The temporary trigger that shoudl be created is:

Trigger: Executes on text "Mana: 400/400" (which will always happen)
This trigger does three things:

1. Does "cast light"
2. Waits 5 seconds and then does "cast levitate"
3. Waits 5 more seconds and then does "autoTrain" (the initial alias), restarting the whole process.

***

A few questions:
1. Are there any problems with my logic, or should this work?
2. Is there a way to make a #TEMP trigger delete itself if it's not triggered within a certain amount of time?
3. Is there a way to delete #TEMP trigger (from another trigger)?
4. Is there a way to make a single trigger do different actions based on different text?

Additionally, I've seen that you can make "SCRIPTS" in CMUD? Would that be a better way to do this?

I would recommend you make a class folder with some options for the action and leave it disabled until you attempt the action. For example (in pseudo-code, sorta):

I'm having problems disabling the triggers via code (not sure what I'm doing wrong).

This works: #ALARM recast +5 {AutoTrain/castRegen}

This does not: #T- {AutoTrain/manaLow};
This also does not work: #T- {AutoTrain|manaLow};

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Your alarm doesn't have a #T- in it. Try #T- AutoTrain|manaLow (without the braces), and see if that makes a difference.

The alarm works perfect ... it's disabling the trigger that doesn't work.

Hmm. It's strange. If I do #T- castFail (my first castFail trigger - located inside my AutoShare class gets disabled).

If I do #T- AutoTrain/castFail
or
#T- AutoTrain|castFail

Nothing happens. :(

Any ideas?

Use

#T- "AutoTrain|castFail"

and see if using quotes changes anything.

It doesn't work either. I'm very confused about what I'm doing wrong. I changed the name of the alias in the AutoShare class to something, so now there is only one trigger (in the AutoTrain class) named castFail.

#T- castFail works. But I can't figure out why I can't specify the class. :(

I actually saw this problem as well last night after I downloaded 2.18 and tried some stuff out. I won't have time to test it more for a while, but just to say that I've seen this as well. There's something here.

this seems to work for me, just copy and paste into the command line:
