Hi All,

I need help with a trigger. Basically I want to have a trigger that fires when someone enters a room, but tag that person so that if they re-enter the room the trigger will not fire again.

ie.

Brutus enters from west door.

<trigger fires>
<tags Brutus>

tell Brutus If you would like to see a list of spells available please 'ask about spells'

Brutus leaves through west door.

<1 minute later>

Brutus enters from west door.
<check tags>
<Brutus is found>
<trigger ignored>

Sorry if this is sounding confusing, just trying to figure out where to start.

Thanks,

Deags.

Extra Credit Question: If I can get this to work I would like to set it up so that the trigger will work again for that same person after a defined amount of time. (ie. After 10 minutes the trigger will work for this person again)

#CLASS PeopleRecorder
#VARIABLE RecentPeople {} {}
#TRIGGER {^(%w) enters from} {#IF (%ismember("%1",@RecentPeople)=0) {#ADDITEM RecentPeople {%1};tell %1 If you would like to see a list of spells available please 'ask about spells';#ALARM +600 {#DELITEM RecentPeople {%1}}}}
#CLASS 0

That should about cover everything. Thank you for posting lovely mud outputs that could readily be worked with instead of some vague stuff. Hopefully I didn't have any typos.
