    -onAttackStr str
        trigger the command when the attack verb is "str". both onAttackStr and onDefendStr MUST be specified
    -onDefendStr str
        trigger the command when the defend verb is "str". both onAttackStr and onDefendStr MUST be specified
    -suppressAttack
        delete the attack announcement from the combat logs
    -suppressDefend
        delete the defend announcement from the combat logs
    -command [ commandStrs ]
        specify the command to be executed

            anything -> anything
You must specify both an attack string and a defend string to guarantee correct performance. Either will trigger the script when it happens, but it will not be triggered twice in a row if both happen.
