I am trying to make a trigger to colour and flash the death message when an ally is killed

I have a stringlist of said allies called @ALLY and a trigger that looks like this

^(*) has been slain(*)

#IF (@ally = %1) {#color %eval( %color( blink)+%color( yellow, blue))}

but it doesnt work

it supposed to trigger on

Joe has been slain by the might of a rabbit

if Joe is in the Ally list it should blink the death message and colour it.

can someone show me what is going wrong?

Unless Joe is the only name in the list, @ally won't equal Joe. And = is also case sensitive, so joe isn't equal to Joe. You should either use the %ismember function, which is also case sensitive, or put the list in the pattern, which isn't case sensitive.

Blink, yellow, and blue are all valid arguments to #COLOR so there's no need to use the %color or %eval functions.

Pattern: {@ally} has been slain
Value: #COLOR blink,yellow,blue
