Idea is, if in a group and someone cast armageddon. Then Zarlix will cast armageddon. 2 seconds later.
After that it depends who is casting out of the four Characters as to who fires next. Since the ^(%w) changes to one of their names.

I have a exit solution, with, You lost your concentration trying to cast armageddon!

^(%w) utters the words, 'armageddon'.

Put a message statement into your ArmExit disable script.

Ok, Put a message statement into your ArmExit disable script.

Not sure what you mean an Echo to screen? And how's the syntax of the Switch?, about to test it in game.

You could just give each character its own copycat Variable and do something like:

#TR {^{@copycat} utters the words, 'armageddon'.} {c 'arma'}

Then only the character whose personal @copycat variable matches the name of the caster should be attempting to cast next.

So cool; lol

This is my effort and its making 400+ in number the #ALARM in each Characters pkg;
like this: trigger Alarm1641" +2, Zarlix: c 'arma'

Trigger "ArmExit" {(%w) utters the words, 'armageddon'|'abrawitommab'.}
#SWITCH (%1 = "Halix") {#ALARM +2, S: c 'arma'}
(%1 = "Zarlix") {#ALARM +2, K: c 'arma'}
(%1 = "Karlix") {#ALARM +2, Z: c 'arma'}
(%1 = "Sutex") {#ALARM +2, H: c 'arma'}
{#ALARM +2, Zarlix: c 'arma'}

This #switch is doing too much work, leading to unnecessarily duplicated code.

This is not the proper syntax for an #ALARM command.
You want to name them, to keep from having a bajillion copies.
You want to encapsulate its script in a separate set of {curly brackets}.

You want something like:

That looks better.
So simple that switch and I understand it!
The copycat is not pattern matching , still tweaking;

So going to try this switch out, cheers
