I am using #loo 1,4 {look %{i}.mob
I want to have a trigger work if the mob I am looking at has a peace of equ called unique.

if the mob has a unique I want the # of the mob recorded so I can kill #.mob

I am thinking

#tr {unique} {#var mnum %{i}}

then I could type kill <@mnum>

but would the trigger work in the middle of the loop?
(I have to test this but no mud at work)

Don't put the trigger in the loop, you only need to make it once. Instead, put a #VAR command in the loop to catch the current loop-number.

#LOOP 1,4 {#VAR loop %i;look %{i}.mob}
#TR {unique} {#VAR mnum @loop}

I have to disagree with Lightbulb on this one. #LOOP 1,4 {#VAR loop %i;look %{i}.mob}
will send all the looks at once and the variable @loop will contain 4 before any trigger has a chance to fire.

You must use a more coordinated system to detect your uniques. You will need a variable showing the high number for looking, another for the current number, a trigger that picks up when a look has occured to increment the variable and preform another look if appropiate and an alias to start the whole thing.

well what would you sugest....I need to grab how many mobs are in the room (begin with exit and finish with a blank line.

Then I need to glance at each mob (using the number from above) and trigger at a unique to store that number in a var.

any help is appericated

I think this is what you are looking for:

Thanks LB but I am still stuck with trying to pull the mob with the unique - # out of the loop, so how can I put a trigger in the middle of a loop

So, don't use a loop. The loop was your idea, not mine.
#TR {^~[Exits:*~]$*} {#VAR NoOfMobs 0;#T+ Peekinv}
#CLASS Peekinv disable
#TR {^*} {#ADD NoOfMobs 1}
#TR {$} {#T- Peekinv;#VAR mob 0;lookmob}
#CLASS 0
#AL lookmob {#ADD mob 1;glance @{mob}.mob;#ALA +5 {lookmob}}
#TR {mob has a peace of equ called unique} {#VAR target @mob}
Adjust the alarm time so you always get the return from one glance before you send the next.
