Zugg Software :: View topic - [3.33a] Simple Question - How to NULL output of a false trigger

Novice Joined: 15 Jul 2010 Posts: 39 Location: USA

So I made a very basic alarm trigger:
%if(@EStaff=0,enchant staff)
%if(@EHauberk=0,enchant hauberk)
%if(@EProtector=0,enchant protector)
%if(@ECoif=0,enchant coif)
%if(@EChausses=0,enchant chausses)
%if(@EMitons=0,enchant mitons)
%if(@ACBless=0,"do 2 bless me,bless me")
%if(@ACBuffer=0,"buffer me")
%if(@ACHaste=0,"haste")
%if(@ACAugment=0,"augment combat")
%if(@ACHoly=0,"holystrike")

The problem is the output on the screen is 1 blank line per command that is a '1' and 1 output command for the ones that are a '0'

So if only some of them are a 0, my output looks like this:
{
enchant staff

enchant coif

haste

holystrike

CMUD is sending a blank line to the MUD for each command that triggers as a '1'. Is there a way to output a trigger that doesn't need anything to be done wo simply do nothing?

I tried: %if(@ACBless=0,"do 2 bless me,bless me","") with the same results. Is there a way for CMUD to simply do nothing if the variable is a "1"?

Use #IF, not %if(). Functions are not allowed to begin a line.

We seem to be getting an awful lot of people making this mistake. A function will execute actions, and will return a value, but is it _not_ a Cmud command statement. A variable contains a value, and can even contain a string which can be interpreted as a command, but it is _not_ itself a Cmud command statement.

Never, ever, ever start a Cmud command line with % or @.

Even if it looks like it works, don't do it.

If, for some reason, you do need to simply call a function (and in this case #IF would be better) you would use #CALL <function>
