Hi HI,

I would like to create a trigger/script that will allow me to target a mob or a player and spell them up... and if a spell misses... it would recast till it landed. then i could kill it..

I have an alias that spells me up but it doesnt stop casting if the spells duration cant be extended..

examples would be.. taron would be the target things in brown are what i type into the mud

cast curse tar
You begin to speak the words of the spell...

You have completed your casting.
You lose your concentration.

cast curse tar
You begin to speak the words of the spell...

You have completed your casting.

how can i get it to target the mob or player. spell them up and if it misses recast... then after it casts.. move onto the next spell i want it to cast?

First you need to list the spells you want to cast in a list, like:
#VAR spells {curse|silence|fireball}

Now you set up an alias that will start the process. The alias needs to set up a variable indicating the location in the list you are at currently, cast the first spell and enable a trigger to continue casting after the spell is done:
#ALIAS docasts {#VAR target {%1};#VAR pos 1;#T+ autocast;cast %item(@spells, @pos) @target}

Finally, you need the trigger:
#TRIGGER "autocast" {You have completed your casting.} {}
#COND {(*)} {#IF ("%1" = "You lose your concentration.") {cast %item(@spells, @pos) @target} {#ADD pos 1;#IF (@pos > %numitems(@spells)) {#VAR pos 1;#T- autocast} {cast %item(@spells, @pos) @target}}}

To start the process, you would call the alias like:
docasts Kjata
