I have an alias to do this:

#gagon
score
#COND {Wait|Param=20}
#gagoff

I want it to wait before sending the gagoff, since there is a slight delay before the MUD sends the results of the score command. Instead it waits before it sends the entire alias.

I think the quickest/simplest way would be to just make a #TEMP trigger where the #cond is that is based on your prompt to issue a #gagoff

#gagon
score
#TEMP "gagtillprompt" {%d/%d hp %d/%d ma} {#gagoff}

Ok, I changed it to fit my prompt. Apparently I changed it wrong. I made it:

#gagon
score
#TEMP "gagtillprompt" {HP~:* MV~:*} {#gagoff}

My prompt is:
* R HP:Healthy MV:Fresh >

But the R and the * aren't always there, are sometimes different, so I left them out, but it didn't work.

remove the ~ you shouldnt need to quote the : unless you set it up as a special char

Prompt triggers usually need the "prompt" option set. Otherwise, they don't take effect until the next line is received or sent.
#TEMP "gagtillprompt" {HP~:* MV:*} {#GAGOFF} {} {prompt}

As nexela said, you shouldn't need the ~ before :. On the other hand, removing them doesn't make any difference except to make your pattern slightly easier to read.

It's automatically set up as a special char, its for focus. But i'll try without it.

Ah great, it works, thanks LightBulb! I took out the ~s, Nexela, and it still didn't work
