Clear command buffer command in zMud
|
Is there a command that will clear the command buffer. For example before to pu before #WA command to clear the previous wait?

You shouldn't be using #WAIT at all, but doing #WAIT 0 should cancel any wait pending.

Well, it can cause some unwanted side-effects:
quote:
NOTE: The WAIT command can cause processing of any other active WAIT command to halt. Do not use nested WAIT commands. Do not use the WAIT command in a trigger if the same trigger might fire again before the WAIT is complete. In general, you should try to use the #ALARM command instead of using #WAIT.
It is also explained in more detail in this article.
Generally, almost anything that you want to do that you think you need a #WAIT to accomplish, can be done by using alarms.
