Ok..I need a command to put into a trigger that will disable itself, but will finish off the string of commands once the pattern is met. Here's what it is..

pattern: (%d)]
value: %IF( %1>50, <command>; add str 17; add wis 7; add int 7; add dex 8; add con 15; end, roll)

I need something to replace <command> that will disable the trigger, but will let the rest of the commands for the True value finish off("add str 17; add wis 7;" etc...)

First, you need to put a ~ in front of the ] in the pattern to prevent zMUD from parsing it as a special character. Next, what you want is the #IF command, not the %if function. Commands perform actions while functions return text. Finally, what you need to turn off the trigger is to first give it an ID and then use the #T- command to disable it when you want to. All in all, your trigger, in a format for entering into the command line, looks like this:
#TRIGGER "mytrig" {(%d)~]} {#IF (%1 > 50) {add str 17;add wis 7;add int 7;add dex 8;add con 15;end;#T- mytrig} {roll}}

I have used the trigger many times before, except with a different true value, and it works fine..so disregard anything that may be wrong with the rest of it. Also, the trigger does have a class, and I need it to disable BEFORE the "add str 17" and such. The reasoning is this..there may be a way around this that I'm not seeing as well:
After the 'add 17 str' or any of the other commands are entered, the same pattern is shown again, but with a less value, 17 less(makes sense, eh?), the 17 less, will, of course make the value below 51, and it begins rolling again.

It should still work fine because zMUD will be fast enought to execute all of the commands of the trigger before any new output from the MUD is received.

I tried the pattern/value you gave me with my name substituted for "mytrig", and it showed a syntax error on the first {, and didn't work..no idea why, I don't see an error.

Did you change from using %if to #IF? Try posting exactly what you have now.

Did that..and several other things, finally got it to where it will add all the things I wanted it to and end before the rolls go through, now I can finally leave my computer completely alone and let it roll my character, thanks.
