Greetings,

I'm struggling to create a very easy script which saves a variable and then uses that variable in a trigger.

Example:

Ghir points you the (animal).
Kill (that animal)

I know it is a noob question, but I didn't managed to make it work.

The simple answer. (be sure both trigger and alias are set to send to script)

If a trigger matches: Ghir points you the (animal). and puts the animal in %1, all you really need to do to set the variable is:

target = "%1"

And to use it in an alias, send:

Send ("kill " .. target)

This video about making an alias covers a lot of that stuff:
