hello all , i have been out of mudding for a long time , i reciently got back into it and im really having a hard time making a targeting script.
what i had in Zmud was something like this

targ player/mob name
it would then ooc "today my target is palyer/mob name
then i would type "backstab" to set my attack on that target and it would say
"today they will die by my backstab.

then when i scan, thier name would show up in red . if they were north of me it would automaticly go north and attack them with whatever my attack was set to.

if i stalked them as soon as i came in the room it would preform that attack (good for aggro mobs for the first hit).
when all was done i could turn off that scrip by typing player/mod name is dead, and it would say ooc i taught them .

if anyone can help with this it would be great i have been trying and trying to no avail !

thanks =)

ok now i just cant seem to get the triggers to work ,

it when i tell the mud to scan it takes a quick look for players/mobs in each direction including the room im in Ie,

i type targ drunk
then i use kk for my attackform in this case i want to backstab , so i tt backstab.
then i scan (to look for them )
scan
the mud shows the following

Looking around you see:
the Drunk , right here.
Artur Hawkwing, nearby to the north.
the stray dog, nearby to the east.
the vagabond, nearby to the south.
the drunk, nearby to the west.

then mud now shows me
backstabdrunk all in one word im not sure how to get it to seperate i used the trigger to see the pattern "the Drunk right here." and it see's it just fine its in red like it should but it wont let me seperat the trigger (@attackform @Target) .

once i learn the correct way to seperate the @attackform and the @Target i think i can figure out the rest. i have tried ; : spaces next line . im just stumped on this one

thanks in advance for the help

Click on the Settings button at the top of your main window. This opens the Package Editor window.
In the Package Editor window, find and click on the trigger to select it. The right side of the Package Editor should now show the code for the trigger.
At the bottom of the subwindow showing the code, click the XML tab. This will show the XML version of the code.
Highlight the entire code, including the the <trigger> and </trigger> lines, and type CTRL-C to copy it.
