Hey guys, I'm not a programmer by any means and as such am having difficulty figuring out how to do something.

Basically what i'm trying to do is create a function to check which of my spells have fallen during combat and cast them automatically after i leave combat.

I've got a trigger set up that when a mob dies it runs function spellcheck, and in the spellcheck function it checks the variables of which spells return a 1 (still on the character) or 0 which ones have fallen, with corresponding triggers to each spell falling. So the function then looks for spells that return 0's and re-casts them, but i cant have the function fire off all the casts at the same time, so I tried setting up a loop to do 1 at a time until they're all up, but CMUD doesn't like it. Anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks in advance for the insight!

In my experience one of the simplest ways to do this is set up a db variable where the key is the name of the spell you use when casting it, and the value reflecting it's state 0 or 1. Once you get your current triggers set up to work with the db var, you can use the #loopdb command to search through the variable and recast the spells using an alias or when the mob dies in your case.

Is there any way to pause the script but let other things interject commands? For example, if the above code might cause

cast armor
(pause)
cast shield
...etc.

But if I lose concentration, I want it to do this:
cast armor
[text from mud: You lost your concentration!]
cast armor
(pause)

I have a trigger that recasts on concentration loss by using a variable which is populated with whatever spell is being cast, but it wouldn't work in this case because the @WAIT pauses output for everything.

@tsenzouken
If you changed the #wait to a #waitfor {unique text here} and had a trigger for the successful cast of each spell, that echoed the unique text, that should solve your problems. Of course there are other ways to do it but that's a good starting place that requires minimal effort.
