How would I go about making a Trigger/Alias for something like this.

Well for starters can this be done? The best solution I see would be to make an alias.

The kind of command I would like to make is :

If I see a person standing in a room north of me.

I want to enter a command of :

Dart ( Name of Char ) and the direction of the room he is in.

I basically made an alias of a char's name in every direction to dart.

Is there a way to make it easier instead of having 4 different aliases due to room direction? and it does not apply to strictly 1 character.

I really hope I am somewhat making sense.

What is the alias that you currently have? Do you want this to happen automatically when you notice someone a room away from you? How exactly do you notice this? Does the MUD give you a specific message?

[North]
Nobody here.
[East]
Godsmack's elemental steed
Godsmack (Player)
[South]
Tigika's elemental steed
[West]
Godsmack's elemental steed
[Up]
No exit.
[Down]
No exit.

As for my aliases.. I have dde as an alias.. dart Godsmack east.

and so on for each direction. Is there a better way? Is there a way I can apply it for any character in any direction that I want to dart ?

This help any ?

#TR {^~[(%w)~]$} {direction=%1;#TEMP "dartToPlayer" {^(%w) ~(Player~)$} {dart %1 @direction}}

#TEMP is a #TRIGGER that only fires once and deletes itself from memory. try '#HELP temp' for more information.

stick it all into the command line and it will make itself, no neeed to go into the settings editor
but if you must know:

pattern:

^~[(%w)~]$

Value:

direction=%1
#TEMP "dartToPlayer" {^(%w) ~(Player~)$} {dart %1 @direction}
