ok I'm not too computer savvy. Been working a coupla days now at Zmud. I got the easy part down, triggers. Here's what I want to do (Realms of Despair)

every 3 ticks (60 sec each I believe) I want to wake up, cast "continual light" "detect invisible" "detect magic" "armor" "faerie fire" and then go to sleep.
I modified some txt I got from zistrosk, but ended up with a lot of syntax errors in lines I didn't mess with. Any help would be appreciated...

#BUTTON AutoCastSwitcher {AutoCasting: %if(%trigger(AutoCasts),On,Off)} {#IF (%trigger(AutoCasts)) {#T- AutoCasts} {#T+ AutoCasts}}
#CLASS AutoCasts
#ALIAS AutoCastStuff {stand;cast "continual light" "detect invisible" "detect magic" "armor" "faerie fire";sleep;#CLASS AutoCasts;#ALARM {+180} {AutoCastStuff};#CLASS 0}
#CLASS 0

This creates a button allowing you to turn the whole thing off and on, the alias does all the work. It creates an alarm which calls itself. The point of the class commands within the alias are so that the alarm will be created in that class and hence can be turned off quickly with the button. I really dont think you want it to automatically put you to sleep in the middle of a fight or some such.

Thanks so much for your help. Just another quick question:
When I pasted those lines to teh command line, I got no error messages but the class was active and nothing ever happened. I think it's due to one of two possibilities:
1. I have not yet registered Zmud, as I wanted to try and figure this all out first - maybe it won't work without a registered copy.
2. I don't know this code well at all, but the line I would enter to cast a spell in the game is "cast 'detect magic'" and in the code you provided quotation marks were used instead of apostrophys. Thanks kindly.
Happy New Year

1: The only difference between the registered and unregistered zMUD is that unregistered will stop working until you buy your liscense. The trial version of zMUD is not limited in any way.
2: That is almost certainly your problem, just go into the trigger, and change the " around your spells into a '
So cast "continual light" would now be cast 'continual light'

And while I'm already posting... how do I get my signature to work?

Just FYI, the ticks on Realms of Despair are a little random. It's certainly not 60 seconds every time.

The Alarm is created by the Alias and the Alias is only called by the Alarm, so since the Alarm doesn't exist the Alias is never called and the Alarm is never created so the Alias....you just need to add a command to the button to call the Alias.

#BUTTON AutoCastSwitcher {AutoCasting: %if(%trigger(AutoCasts),On,Off)} {#IF (%trigger(AutoCasts)) {#T- AutoCasts} {#T+ AutoCasts;AutoCastStuff}}

Actually, I'd just create a permanent Alarm in the Autocast class, instead of making a temporary one every 3 minutes. Here's the whole script for that:

#BUTTON AutoCastSwitcher {AutoCasting: %if(%trigger(AutoCasts),On,Off)} {#IF (%trigger(AutoCasts)) {#T- AutoCasts} {#T+ AutoCasts}}

#CLASS AutoCasts
#ALARM *3:00 {stand;cast 'continual light';cast 'detect invisible';cast 'detect magic';cast armor;cast 'faerie fire';sleep}
#CLASS 0
