Selective/temporary gagging or using #GAG only for a specific output
|
I read through a lot of the documentation on #GAG, and even #TEMP, but after playing around with them I couldn't get them to do what I wanted. I also went searching through the forums to no avail, so I'm hoping someone will be able to help with this one.
Up to half of the players logged on at any time are idle for hours/days, and are clearly not currently available to play. I was looking for a way to strip them out of the who output so I could get an idea of who is really around. Below is a sampling of a typical who list.
| Code: |
Player Name On For Idle random changing text
Player1 00:47 52s
Player2 01:15 0s
Player3 01:29 1h random changing text
Player4 01:37 5m
Player5 02:15 2h
Player6 06:50 11m
Player7 08:07 8h
Player8 2d 16:01 1d
There are 8 players connected. |
I was successful in gagging players idle for hours or days using:
#TRIGGER {Player Name} {#GAG %dh;#GAG %dd}
The trouble I have now is finding a way so that gag only triggers when using "who" and not all the time. While it's very unlikely bits like 4d or 6h will come up in day to day play outside of being listed in the who list, I'm paranoid about inadvertently gagging important things. I thought that matching the pattern to {Player Name} would have done it, but the gagging is global. I then tried using #UNGAG with {There are %d players connected.} to stop gagging at the end of the who output, but that wasn't working either.
So, in short, how would I set up a #GAG that is specific only for the output of one command, and not globally throughout the game? |

The way you are using #GAG is wrong
#GAG %dd
is the same as
#TR {%dd} {#GAG}
which will gag any line containing a number followed by a d, clearly not what you want
You need to be more specific in your pattern and then just use #GAG by itself. |

try:
#TR {^%w %s * %d:%d %s %d{d|h}} {#GAG} |

In addition to making your trigger more specific to the lines you see, you could also use an alias for which would activate a class with your GAG trigger and then send the WHO command to the MUD.
In the class with your GAG trigger include another trigger which will activate on the last line returned from the MUD (There are %d players connected.) which will then deactivate the class until the next time you activate via the alias.
