| I'm trying to set up a trigger that will gag, but not always.
For example, I have a trigger set to grab room exits when I do a look or when a new room is entered. During certain times, the script may want to fire a "look" on it's own.
The problem is, if the "look" command is USER generated I want it to display the output. if the "look" command is AUTO generated, I want it gagged. The checkbox option in the create trigger window appears to be a one-size fits all solution.
Any thoughts on this? Does my question make sense? Thanks! | | Top |

| Just to give you a couple of ideas to run with:
Trigger always gags, sends to script after omit, if checks to see if last CommandHistory is look then notes/ColourNotes the omitted text...
Gives the end result you want. It may not handle spammed user input well.
alternate way:
Gag trigger is in a group, script enables the group, sends a look, mud outputs the text and a prompt, prompt trigger disables the group.
Doing this though may not handle lag very well.

| Thanks for the tips WillFa :-)
It least it's giving me a place to start. I had thought of a couple similar ideas, but the just seemed...messy. I guess I wasn't too far off track! | | Top |

As Willfa says, scripting lets you extend the basic GUI interface to handle different situations.
However the idea of a trigger sending something, and that something, which arrives later (maybe after a tell or two) being automatically gagged, is something I can't even begin to envisage how it might automatically happen.
Just imagine an auto-generated "look" happening during a fight, and the room description showing up 20 lines later. Unless you can recognize the room description (eg. by its colour) then you are in trouble.
However if the room description *can* be recognized in some way, then a simple thing would be to enable the gagging trigger, as Willfa says, at the time you send the "look" and when the description arrives, have the gagging trigger disable itself.

| | Wouldn't it be easier to just recognize that you entered combat, or left, and gag/ungag the automatic event instead? | | Top |
