Best way to gag things

Deichtine

Hi I'm still fairly new to mudlet what I'm trying to do is gag lines in the most efficient way possible as there are a lot of unnecessary things I'm seeing.

For example I've done ^(\w+) recharges a Scroll of Healing from an energy cube.$  and ^Your left arm is off balance.$ to deleteLine()

This gags the line and removes it just fine but the only problem I'm finding is that it spams my prompt a fair bit as well

Is there anyway to fix this or is there a better way to gag things?


For example if I tab my bash key a few times I get this: 

You strike at a robed obesefessor's body with a viciously hooked flail.

You take a drink of a potion of frost from a bloodstone vial.

You must possess balance in order to do that.

deleteLineP()

Synkarin

function deleteFull()

deleteLine()

tempLineTrigger(1,1,[[if isPrompt() then deleteLine() end]])

end

Deichtine

Hmm deleteLineP() seems to do the same thing and spams my prompt when I spam attacks.

and the second one @Synkarin dosn't seem to gag lines at all unless i'm copping it in incorrectly?

Synkarin

Synkarin said:

function deleteFull()

deleteLine()

tempLineTrigger(1,1,[[if isPrompt() then deleteLine() end]])

end

function deleteFull()
  deleteLine()
  tempLineTrigger(1,1,[[if isPrompt() then deleteLine() end]])
end


I'm not sure why it wouldn't be working for you - can you show a log or it not working and how you're using it?

Deichtine

As an example then I have:


^You must regain equilibrium first.$
^Your left arm is off balance.$
^Your legs are off balance.$
etc and a lot of others set with pearl regex in one trigger.

So I copy and paste 

function deleteFull()

deleteLine()

tempLineTrigger(1,1,[[if isPrompt() then deleteLine() end]])

end

into the box and test it and this happens.

As a note my attack macro is basically this

if pk_razeshield then

sendAll("raze "..target, "raze "..target,false)

else

sendAll("stand", "assess " ..target, "strike "..target.. " right chest", "strike "..target.. " left chest smashchest",false)

end

I've tested it with that macro and a simple send ("invoke circle") macro as well and the same result happens.

if I then go and paste in deleteLineP()

then I get this result

Could it be something to do with other settings in mudlet not directly linked into the trigger itself?

Ciaran

Put function deleteFull() into a script.

Then call deleteFull() with your trigger.

Edit: Just to clarify, take what Sidd wrote for you, make a new script, and paste it there.

Then whatever you want to gag, just put: "deleteFull()" as what the trigger should do.

Synkarin

Yeah, sorry

 the deleteFull is a function, so you put that in a script and then use deleteFull() in lieu of deleteLine() when you want to include gagging the prompt

Deichtine

ohh I see what you mean

Awesome thank you two for the help, like I said im a bit of a newbie with mudlet didn't think to put it in a script

Works perfectly now.

Deichtine

You can not believe how much tidier this makes things
