Hi, I'm REALLY new to scripting, just started fiddling a bit today. I'm trying to make a simple script that makes me walk around autokilling stuff.
The first problem I faced was this:
after I've made the mud read the line, and I enter a room with for example 4 guards and start bashing them, I want to be able to #read 1 after the fourth guard has died. But since the guards all have the same description, if I make a trigger on "You killed the %1 guard.", it will make me walk away after killing the first one. How do I make the trigger execute after the fourth guard has died?

I'll probably run into more problems, I'll post them later :)
Thanks guys.
FYI, I'm using zmud 6.25 and playing Genesis LPmud.

Create a variable for that room that tracks
how many guards are there when you enter
and decrements it after every death.

A la concept:

#VAR V_Guards 0

You enter the room:

#TRIGGER {A Guard is here.} {#ADD V_Guard 1}

You kill a guard:

#TRIGGER {A guard dies.} {#ADD V_Guard -1;#IF (@V_Guard == 0) {go to next toom} {kill guard}}
