First of all yes I have read the support library files on triggers. However, with my feeble understanding of programming its not sinking in very well.[xx(] All that I want to do is have a series of commands that are performed sequentially.
Assume the patter is: < whirling wildly >, if this pattern occurs every 5 seconds or so I need about 5 different commands to be sent to the mud. eg: fist command: run fast, second command: play dead, ect.
Once again any help will be appreciated, and long live Zugg. Smile

When using the settings editor, just put each command on a single line or separate commands using ;. Same goes for creating triggers from the command line.

I was not entirely clear with my post, I need the first command to fire the first time the trigger is activated and just the first command. Same for the second. The next time the pattern shows up the second command goes off, and so on. Sorry for the confusion.

You'll be wanting to use conditional triggers then:

#trigger {whirling wildly} {First command}
#con {whirling wildly} {Second Command} {Within|Param=1}

Or, you could do this:

#trigger {Whirling Wildly} {#add WhirlCount {1};%item(@CommandList,@WhirlCount);#IF (@whirlcount=%numitems(@CommandList)) {WhirlCount=0}}

And have your commands in a list variable, @Commandlist. Every time it is run, it will execute the next command and when it executes the last command, it will start back at the beginning.

Im using the secound option on this last post and it seem to be working except for one snag. The whirlcount varable just keep incrementing up one each time the trigger fires. Any thoughts on how to get the whirlcount to a predefined number and then start over at 0? By the way thanks to you guys that reply to these posts this helps out a lot. Wink

Hm, #IF (@whirlcount=%numitems(@CommandList)) {WhirlCount=0} in my last post should be resetting whirlcount to 0 when it has executed the last command in @Commandlist. Check if you have accidentally ommitted it from your trigger.
