Is there a way to prevent output information from a world from being displayed while still setting of triggers? I'm working on a project where I'm using timers to continuly get information for a status screen I'm creating (thats a seperate program), however, theres no need to the information to ever reach the screen. Anyway of filtering it out?

Check "omit from output" in the trigger.

If you mean, how do you send from a timer without it being echoed, make the timer do sendnoecho, and send to script, like this:


Send: SendNoEcho "score"
Send to: Script

That would send "score" to the MUD at whatever interval, however the word "score" is not echoed on your screen.

I'm using a series of triggers to proccess and capture information from a status display. The first trigger is set off when the first line of the display is sent from the world, and thent heres a string sent to follow the display to determine where it ends. However, there are soem headings and lines (---) between some of the information which are there for cosmetic purposes. I set up a simpe '^.*$' to capture the misc things sent and keep them from the output. The problem I'm having is that the last line which is a a repeating '-' series flashes on the screen then disappears. It happens quickly, but since a timer is continuly getting the display from the world, it makes the screen look like its bouncing up and down. There anyway to eliminate this flashing?

It is the nature of its design that things are put on the screen as they arrive. Then when the newline arrives (which is not necessarily for a while in the case of a 'prompt' line) the triggers are processed.

Thus a trigger that omits a line will temporarily show it. This is a design feature and cannot be changed (at least in the current version).
