To be able to help you we'd need alot more information. First of all what do you see when you enter a room. How do you rate the mobs?

I'd suggest you start with some reading. Introduction to Triggers, Introduction to Aliases and Introduction to Variables.

thank you for your quick response first of all. i am able to make basic triggs and aliases. when i enter a room i see the room title, room description, any object in the room, and then a list of mobs that are there. i would like to rate the mobs on a greater than 0 basis 10 being the most aggressive. after that i would like to set up an alias that will attack the highest rated mob in the room first. Valheru is the mud that i play. i am using a mac computer with windows installed so that i can use zmud. im not to sure about variables, but i would believe that is what i would use to rate a mob greater than zero. i know it can be done just not sure how to go about it.

I would suggest a dbVariable to store the ratings, and a stringlist to hold current room contents.

You will need to populate the variable yourself, by trigger or by hand, but the command to do so should look something like this:

#ADDKEY mobRatings {MobName=Rating#}

#ADDITEM mobsHere {MobName}

You will need an alias most likely, to loop through @mobsHere and determine which mob is currently rated the highest, so you can define @target and initiate combat.

Triggers on death for cleanup is good too.
