Hi,

I have recently moved to zmud from pueblo and have several queries I was hoping you peeps could answer.

1) Within a trigger I want to load and unload a set of triggers and aliases, how do I do that?

2) How do I turn triggers off with a typed command, so in theory I could set up an alias/trigger to stop triggers?

I will ask the other questions in another topic.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Ok, I found the command to turn off/on the triggers, now its just all about loading/unload triggers in a file.

I generally suggest just keeping them all loaded in different classes. You can turn off the whole class at once with #T- as well as individual settings.

Can I load/unload a class from within an alias?

Yes.

#AL classon {#T+ class}
#AL classoff {#T- class}

That's not what was asked, Slaem.

To load specific settings while retaining whatever is already there, you need to use the #READ command (I'm pretty sure it doesn't completely bypass the parser). You could perhaps use #LOAD, but that command completely replaces whatever was in memory and resets everything to defaults (classes which are disabled on login will be turned off, variables with default values will be assigned the default value, etc). More than likely not what you were looking for.

To unload those specific settings without messing with what you want to stay, you need to use the associated #UNwhatever commands (#UNCLASS, #UNTRIGGER, etc). For this specific reason, it's generally a good idea to keep your script in one master class as you can then #UNCLASS it and delete the whole thing with one command. To erase all settings from memory, use #KILLALL. To completely replace them with something else, use the aforementioned #LOAD command.
