Pausing and resuming a trigger. Wait for input
|
I need to pause a trigger and wait for my input. It asks for my input alright, but the trigger will not pause for the duration. Trigger included below.
| Code: |
#IF (%ismember(%1,@SafeQuestList)=0) {
#IF (%ismember(%1,@AggroQuestList)=0) {
#YESNO "Is this a safe location?:"@qLocation {
#ADDITEM SafeQuestList %1;varJog = %prompt(@qLocation,"Enter the Jog name.");#ADDKEY QuestLocationList @qLocation @varJog}
{#ADDITEM AggroQuestList %1;quest quit;creca;#T- quest}
} {questq}
}
{plaza;west;#SEND %db(@QuestLocationList,@qLocation);otsi} |
I want it to wait until I give the name of the jog for it to save and only then move on. |

You can accomplish what you want being using #WAIT or #WAITSIGNAL but a simpler and cleaner approach would be to use an Event and Trigger instead. Have the trigger provide the go as normal to give the YESNO prompt. Then you can have it raise and event that actually sends the information you want.

ok, seems that %prompt now halts the trigger... I could have sworn it did not do that the first time I tried.
But now I have another problem. On some occasions, when I have another window opened on top of Cmud, the prompt window appears behind Cmud main window. Making it impossible to enter anything to the prompt window and close it. And since the prompt window takes priority over everything else, I can not do anything with the Main window either. All I can do, is to open the task manager and force Cmud to close. |

This is actually a bug in Windows z-ordering implementation and not too much can be done about it. You can (usually highlight CMUD) to give it focus and then hit Esc to cancel the prompt. Doing an Alt-Tab should be able to get you CMUD focus as well, but won't bring the prompt window to the front.

Ok. It just happened again. Tried what you said, highlighted Cmud and tried ESC key - nothing. Tried Alt+F4 - nothing, Enter - nothing. So in the end, I still had to open up the task manager and force Cmud to close.
