This is my first complex trigger, I apologize if it's a common question.

The command I'm working with is "teleport to mob". Replace "mob" with whichever mob I'm trying to get to, naturally. The problem is, sometimes it fails, with messages "You failed." or "You lost your concentration.", in which cases I'd like it to try to teleport to the same mob again. Those messages are quite common for other spells, so I don't think I can use a simple trigger on them. In the case of success, I get "You teleport to mob."

I'm pretty sure this needs to start as an alias for "teleport", which would activate triggers for the failure and success messages, and the success trigger would deactivate the others, but I'm not clear on how to start. Help would be appreciated. Bonus points if it stops teleporting and gives an error message after ten tries. Thank you to everyone who helps. :)

#tr "tele" {teleport to (*)} {#t+ teleretry;#t- tele;#var count 1;#var mob "%1"}
#class teleretry
#tr {You failed.} {#if (@count < 10) {teleport to @mob;#add count 1} {#show Teleport failed!;#t- teleretry;#t+ tele}}
#tr {You lost your concentration.} {#if (@count < 10) {teleport to @mob;#add count 1} {#show Teleport failed!;#t- teleretry;#t+ tele}}
#tr {You teleport to} {#t+ tele;#t- teleretry;#unvar count;#unvar mob}
#class 0

whoops, i forgot to say, this doesn't take into account any sort of delaying device. If its ok to stack commands up on your mud, then don't worry about it; if your mud will take your command and send you "too soon message" like "you haven't recovered" or something, the script needs tweaking.
