Question Mob Kill Counter (request)

I am trying to come up with a shorter (death) trigger that counts the number of times a player has killed an mob. I've been using the one below, however the one I am currently trying to make requires the player to go up to 100 kills. Now I could keep brute forcing the one I have below until it counts to 100 but I'm certain that there's an easier way to do this.

set demon_kills
if (%actor.varexists(demon_kills)%)
  if (%actor.demon_kills% == 0)
    eval demon_kills 1
    remote demon_kills %actor.id%
    %send% %actor% You have killed 1 Demon in total.
  elseif (%actor.demon_kills% == 1)
    eval demon_kills 2
    remote demon_kills %actor.id%
    %send% %actor% You have killed 2 Demons in total.

    remote demon_kills %actor.id%

There most certainly is.

I'm struggling to get this to work because I actually need two triggers. One trigger that gives the quest/sets the variable that is given by a different mob (%demon_kills%) and another that is a death trigger that is actually on the mobs that must be killed.

Any chance you could please help, please

The example I gave should be expandable to that use case, I think.

so one of the things i wanted to provide the userbase was in-game badge questing - ala most MMOs, like, for example, Wizards101. you spend a bunch of time in an area farming for an obscure drop and you pile up mob victories. adding a badge layer for tiered victories just seems like a neat way to reward persistence.

here are two trigs that i use to simulate this for a corpse retrieval type quest.

first, the quest issuer provides clues to the quest. i throw languages at the player, so they need to have a translation tome somewhere on the cha for them to get the english version:

Name: 'kasrazas quest', VNum: [35108], RNum: [ 759]

if %actor.is_pc%
if !%actor.has_item(35102)%
wait 8 sec
%echo% The necromancer looks up from the great book spread on his podium, slowly, as if expecting you.
wait 8 sec
%echo% %actor.name%," he says, in a low growl, "Ak-ah nguh-h bek-ti ha-ibn, ag ah il timor fardung er ar."
wait 8 sec
%echo% Closing his Necronomicon, he locks the leather hasp and carefully skirts the corpse spread on his ice slab.

%echo% He unfurls a wing and motions behind him, to the corpse rotting there.
wait 8 sec

wait 8 sec
%echo% He selects another book, another dark talisman. "Senc-ur gash-tan ke-kenquent uhsh par Tinkewu..."

%echo% He moves away, already lost in an incantation, a conjuring, a delving into the profane and unspeakable.
wait 8 sec
%echo% Finally, he says, "Denk-ah-ughti ha irl."
wait 30 sec
else
wait 8 sec
%echo% The necromancer looks up from the great book spread on his podium, slowly, as if expecting you.
wait 8 sec
%echo% %actor.name%," he says, in low growl, "My spies have searched the realms for one such as you."
wait 8 sec
%echo% Closing his Necronomicon, he locks the leather hasp and carefully skirts the corpse spread on his ice slab.
wait 8 sec
%echo% Stopping short of your party, he pauses and says, "I require the bodies of the greatest dragons... for this magic..."
wait 8 sec
%echo% He unfurls a wing and motions behind him, to the corpse rotting there.
wait 8 sec
%echo% "As many as you can bring me, %actor.name%. My magic is growing, my skill improving..."
wait 8 sec
%echo% He selects another book, another dark talisman. "Do this, and I shall reward you in kind..."
wait 8 sec
%echo% He moves away, already lost in an incantation, a conjuring, a delving into the profane and unspeakable.
wait 8 sec
%echo% Finally, he says, "Now leave me."
wait 30 sec
end
end

then the reward trigger:

i have a shopkeeper that will display a player's current quest badge status.

as they attain quest milestones, they can be rewarded with new items, assembly parts, quest tokens, gold and/or xp.

badges and badge tiers add dimensionality to the usual farm slog.

enjoy!

I noticed the language thing in the other trigger you posted. That's very cool!
