Whenever I kill something/someone I want a certain string value to be removed from a variable. I store all my targets into a variable for example mom|dad|brother
then I execute my kill alias on the variable.
Whenever I kill someone I want the target to be removed from the variable.

So Far ive come up with

pattern: You killed (*)

trigger: #if %ismember( @target_list) {
#var target_list %delitem( %1, @target_list)
}

But that isnt working as you might have guessed :)

If all you have is duct tape, everything starts to look like a duct.

Syntax for %ismember is:
%ismember(s,list)

So the #IF should be:
#IF (%ismember("%1", @target_list)) {#VAR target_list %delitem("%1", @target_list)}

I also added double quotes around the %1's in case it contains a comma or something else that might affect the function call.

Hello Kjata, Thanks for the help.
It worked perfectly.
One thing I noticed tho that it only works on the first string in the variable ?

If the target list looked something like neil|bob and I kill bob first the string isnt removed ? (example: neil isnt present in the room and I use my alias to be executed on each string in the variable therefor bob being the killed first)

Thanks again

Actually, you could skip the #IF. If your victim isn't on the list when you try to remove it, nothing will happen. If you don't allow duplicates in your list, you can just use #DELITEM. If you do allow duplicates, use %delitem. So the trigger Value becomes one of these two:
#DELITEM target_list {%1}
#VAR target_list {%delitem({%1}, @target_list)}
