i have a trigger that goes off whenever a mob is killed to walk to the next room and look for the mob im trying to kill, so if it says Soldier is not here. I take the exits, pick a random one, and it goes, then it looks for 'A Soldier.', problem is, if it doesnt see A Soldier it won't move on to the next room. so is there a way that i can make a trigger check if it sees the mob in the room, if it does, attack it, if it doesn't, move on. and i dont want to make it so i attack everything, if i get an error like You don't see that here, itll move on because ill end up stealing kills that way.

Have the trigger that fires on "A Soldier" set a variable to 1 indicating that there is in fact a soldier in the room. Then, have anothe trigger that fires on something that you know comes after the list of mobs in the room, like the prompt for example. Have this trigger check to see if the variable is set to 1, if it is, then there is a soldier in the room, kill it and reset the variable, if it isn't then there is no soldier, so move on.

#var present 0
%item( @available, %random( 1, 5))
#IF (present = 1) {%null} {%item( @available, %random( 1, 5))}
is the trigger im using, available is the direction si can go. this is what i need to know though, how can i make it keep moving until i find a mob? cause as of right now, if it enters 2 empty rooms, it stops

Where did you put these commands in the "A Solider" trigger or in the prompt one? You should have three triggers similar to these:
#TRIGGER {A Solider.} {#VAR present 1}
#TRIGGER "getprompt" {~<%dhp %dm %dmv~>} {#IF (@present) {#T- getprompt;kill soldier} {#EXEC %item(@available, %random(1, %numitems(@available)))}} "" {prompt}
#TRIGGER {A Soldier is DEAD!!!} {#VAR present 0;#T+ getprompt;look}

The problem with using the prompt is that you will most likely get one after chats, people movement and in many other occasions. So, if you can find a line that always comes after the list of mobs in the room but only appears each time you enter a room, then use that line instead.
