I can open logs fine and dandy witht #log, and can toggle them closed with #log. However there are times when I start logging something, and I don't know if it is still logging. I do realize that there is a log icon on one of the bottom bars that is on when Im logging.
My questions are 1:is there a pre-defined variable of some sort that captures if logging is occuring? 2. Is there a way to force logging to stop regardless of whether it's on or not?
On number two, again I have a problem where I might open a log with a trigger, but if my closing trigger doesnt fire, the log just stays on. I'd like to be able to close it from a different trigger (by use of a command or function such as #logclose if there was such a thing), but Im afraid to use #lo, because if the first closing toggle trigger fired, then the second one goes, I've inadvertently started a log when I want it closed...

I don't think there's a way to do this currently - it's a good suggestion.

Good ideas. I'll add these to the to-do list. I'll probably add an option to the #LOG command where doing: #LOG 0 will force the log file to be closed (if it is open). Then I'll add a %log function that will return the current log status (it will probably return null if logging is off, and will return the name of the log file if logging is on)

Why not create your own boolean variable that keeps track of the state of the log? Yes it is a good idea to have this added to the #log command but you could easily keep track of it yourself. With something resembling this.

#var logstat false false

#Trigger {$Your combat to the death is about to begin.} {logstat = true;#log %time}

#Trigger {$You have %w your duel.} {#if (@logstat) {#log;logstat = false} {#say why didn't you log that fight?}}
