Help with a trigger

Im trying to make a trigger, so that when someone enters the areas I am currently in, I will do a certain emote, how would I go about making this?

I've tried
if
* arrives from the *
then
emote dance
--which just made me repeat the emote every time anyone did anything.

then tried
If
%1 arrives from %2
then
emote jump around in an odd fashion


neither worked.
little help please?

The way you type that makes me wonder what you did exactly. It seems like you might be mixing it all together in some sort of script-alike way.

The '* arrives from the *' part should go in the Trigger: box. What you do as a response should go in the Send box.

<trigger
enabled="y"
match="* arrives from"
send_to="10"
sequence="100"
>
<send>emote dance</send>
</trigger>
