I need a way to terminate my script. When I add new pieces of code I sometimes get a runaway script, or sometimes I need to briefly play my mud without scripts or triggers.

It would be nice to do this with a keypress. From what I read online it is impossible or very hard to do with LUA. Is this true? If so I'm wondering if there's an option built in to MUSHclient?

See this for how to recover from scripts that accidentally go into a lengthy loop:

To play without scripts can't you just turn triggers off? There is a checkbox for that, and you can make a macro (which therefore can be a keystroke) to toggle that checkbox.

I got the script working, and yeah disabling/enabling triggers would work. Lol, didn't consider that. Thanks.
