I've got an auto rescue, and when I add people to the list, it creates a long variable and creates a trigger for them when they are attacked. But after I rescue them, it disables their trigger. After the fight is over, I want to reenable the trigger (helps with lag and getting spammed with rescuing them). However... Here is what I'm trying to do to kinda automate it a little more, short of manually going in and enabling the trigger.

#TRIGGER "bob_trigger" {~[ * ~] attacks on *bob*} {rescue bob;#T- bob_trigger;#ADDITEM Rescued {bob}}
#TRIGGER "phil_trigger" {~[ * ~] attacks on *phil*} {rescue phil;#T- philtrigger;#ADDITEM Rescued {phill}}

#ALIAS ResetRescue {#FORALL @Rescued {#T+ %concat(%i,"_trigger");#DELITEM Rescued {%i}}}

Only turning back on those you have actually turned off will be faster, and that variable will likely remain quite small.

Or if you have a standard prompt and a battle prompt set it so that it turns off with standard and on with battle.

kk, now i need to get someone to group with me, and find an aggro area! anyone wanna be a guinea pig? LoL! as far as the prompt... there is, but... if i'm in battle, and a mob comes into the room, and attacks one of my party members, i will automatically try and rescue them, whether or not my lag will let me right then and there, depends on how i initiated the combat with the first mob, and... if i initiated it with a special attack, that will lag me for 6 seconds for example, thats 6 seconds of combat my party member is fighting that aggro mob, and 6 seconds that my autorescue trigger is spamming me with rescues, so that when i DO get out of lag, i'm now lagging with the mud playing catchup with all my commands! hence the shutdown the rescue after one fires off deal, but... if i move to another room, or combat is over, i want to streamline turning back on my group members autorescue trigger, just in case some s**t comes down, ya know? =D

thanks again for all your help!! =D

You could do something like
#INPUT {specialattack %d} {#T- autorescue; #ALARM +6 {#T+ autorescue}}
This will disable autorescue if you do that 6 second special attack, and turn it back on once you can actually use rescue again.

Also, I assume there's some kind of death message yuo could trigger on to turn triggers back on like
#TR {* hits the ground... dead} {#T+ autorescue}

Or go for
#INPUT {[eswnud]} {#T+ autorescue}
This will check any input command containing only one or more of those chars. Perhaps not good enough as it would trigger on "see". Else use
#INPUT {e|s|w|n|u|d|nw|sw|ne|se}

Or create a macro for some easily accessable key that does #T+ autorescue
