ive serached and found something that could of helped but cant seem to get it to work.

I am fighting certain mud characters but they have the annoying habit of fleeing.. what i would love is to auto trigger that when the flee i can follow them and continue combat.

Mud throws up ..

A Parisian panics, and attempts to flee.
A Parisian leaves east.

I want to now go east and kick Parisian

Now it would be great if i can enter in the names of these targets .. just in case in pkill .. someone panics and flees and by mistake my trigger kicks in and i kill em :)

#TR {(%w) panics, and attempts to flee.} {killtemp = %1}
#COND {{@killtemp} leaves (%w).} {%1;kick @killtemp} {within|param=1}

Then set the variable yourself instead of with the trigger.

is there a way of setting multiple variables like "dog;cat;pariseene;goat" ? so that i would only attack them?

I have the same trigger..I just added a button to turn the class on or off so I chase when I want and dont when I don't.

Yes there is, Lucan. Try this:

#var killtemp {cat|dog|goat|pariseene}
#trigger {(%w) panics and attempts to flee.} {}
#Cond {({@killtemp}) leaves (%w).} {%2;kick %1} {within|param=1}

Also, what LightBulb was refering to was to change the pattern of the first condition to:
@killtemp panics, and attempts to flee.

In this case, the
killtemp = %1

would not be needed. Then, you use something else to set the variable yourself instead of having the trigger do it. This can be done with an alias of the command you use to start a fight. Example:
#ALIAS kill {~kill %1;#VAR killtemp {%1}}

As a side note, a variable does not need to be enclosed in braces for it to be expanded in a trigger's pattern. However, if it is enclosed in braces, it means that the variable is a stringlist. If the variable is not a stringlist (it contains just one value), then it will still work because zMUD will treat it as a stringlist of length one and will not match, in its place, anything different than what the variable contains.
