I am expected to target a mob and kill it as i walk in to a room.

ha!

I want to link a mobs description with a command and have the description trigger the command.

Lord Harry potter would trigger assassinate yellow
Satan swine rider would trigger assassinate purple

what i need is a way to store the names and the command together so my trigger could do something like this.

#tr {assassinationlist.mobdescription.(what record?)}
{send command assassinationlist.command.(that record)}

I would really apprciate ideas on this one. I am getting pretty frustrated.

I can't remember how this works in zMUD, but you want to take a look at data record variables. At one point, if you put a data record variable into a trigger pattern, the variable keys would be used in the pattern. So {@DataRecord} would be what you're after. Then, the value for each key is the command you want to do. So you'll end up with something like:

#trigger {^({@DescriptionList})$} {assassinate %db(@DescriptionList,%1)}

but I can't remember if this is how it works in the current version of zMUD, so you'll want to check that. If it isn't, you'll need to use two variables - one of them a string list of the descriptions, the other a data record variable where keys are those same descriptions and values are whatever command you want to send. Then you'll do something like:

#trigger {^({@DescriptionList})$} {assassinate %db(@CommandVar,%1)}
