Child Windows
|
I have been experimenting with child windows, and I noticed an annoying tendency to add blank lines to the parent window everytime text gets shifted to the child window. Here is an example:
The following text is the original output from the mud:
An Ogre (huge)*-* Clan Bloodlust *-*(F) stands here.
A Drow Elf (medium) *-* Clan Bloodlust *-* (B) stands here.
A Gityanki (large) *-* Clan Bloodlust *-* (F) stands here.
The trigger I am testing goes something like this:
#tr {A |An }{@enemyrace} ({@size})*({@rank}) {@position}.
performs:
window2:send text <--sends text to the second window to get filtered
window: <--resets command input to the parent window
The child window recieves the original line of text and then filters it to the following (independant of the parent window):
Ogre (huge)(F)
Drow Elf (medium)(BACKRANKED)
Githyanki (large)(F)
The problem is I end up seeing this in the parent window rather then the original mud output:
An Ogre (huge) *-* Clan Bloodlust *-* (F) stands here.
A Drow Elf (medium) *-* Clan Bloodlust *-* (B) stands here.
A Gityanki (large) *-* Clan Bloodlust *-* (F) stands here.
The added blank lines get extremely annoying when you have something like 10 or more "enemy" races existing in a given room. Is there a way to get rid of the blank lines that get added every time you send text to the child window? |

:window2:To send a command to a different window without changing the focus
Instead of changing the focus to the child window and then changing it back, just send the text without changing focus. |
