Gagging sent commands

Hi,

I was wondering if there's any way to gag a command I send. So, if I want to type, "look" but not see the command being sent to the MUD, can I do that? I know I can gag what the MUD sends to me, but what about what I send to the MUD? Thanks.

Even though is only a trick, it does the job

Go in Game --> Configure Commands (Alt+0)

Then in Echo My Input select the same colour for background and character.

This won't avoid the line to be put on the screen; so you sould see a new completelty black line.

Re - thinking of that i would try also to
Unckeck Echo My Input in .....

Most probably it will remove your input without creating a new line

Hmm, that’s worth investigating, but my hypothesis is that I don’t think that would work because I want to gag only certain ones that are spammy parts of certain aliases. I also would not want a blank black line either. Any ideas?

I verified: it works.
Simply uncheck Echo My Input ...
but if you speak about SOME Alias you really simply need (in the Edit Alias windows - Ctrl+Shift+9 - ) to check Omit from Output and the string triggering the Alias will be omitted.

Finally, if you use script, don't forget using SendNoEcho ("commands to be sent here") to avoid see the command sent displayed on screen.

P.S. sorry Nick i don't understand how i spam so many messages instead of one! :(

Yes! The omit_from_output was EXACTLY what I wanted. Thank you.
