Hello,

I'm an admin on a MUD, and I was wondering if it was possible to re-route messages from certain logging channels to child windows. That is, to not see them on the parent window, but have them instead go straight to the child window.

Example of the logging channel:

//(player) Log Jimmy-Bob: bow

Example of the child window logging trigger I have set-up:

:Logs: #sayp %time( c)%char( 32)
#cap Logs

So, is it possible to gag the log message on the main window, and have it log to the child?

Thanks in advance.

add a #GAG
to the trigger

Without writing a custom plugin the only way would be to #GAG the line in the main window.

#TRIGGER {//~(player~) Log (%x):} {:Logs:#sayp %time(c)%char(32);#CAP logs;#GAG}

Actually, there IS a way. It involves #MAKEWINDOW, but it's kind of a pain.

#MAKEWINDOW windowname REDIRECT <--sends the line directly to the specified window AND shunts everything else to this window

#MAKEWINDOW _previous REDIRECT <--stops sending mud output to the aforementioned window, returning control to the previous window to get that stuff

I'm not quite familiar with #MAKEWINDOW behavior, so you might want to experiment cautiously and expect problems to iron out.
