I am attempting to create a set of multiple windows, separating the various chats in Realms of Despair, from the main window.

For Example, when the following string shows up

Destai guildtalks 'hello everyone.'

I want that to appear in it's own window called "Guild" along with any other messages under the "guildtalk" channel, and not in the main window. I have accomplished this, somewhat, with triggers and the #CAPTURE and #GAG commands.

The problem i run into, is this:
how can I make it so that anything typed in the command line, in these chat/message windows, will be sent to the mud, through the main window, if need be, prefaced by the string that is the same as the name of the window, followed by a space? in this case, if i typed "hello world" in the command line of the "guild" window, how could i make it automatically send "guild hello world" to the MUD?

Thanx in advance for your help, i am having no luck at all with this.

you can try to create a trigger in the main window that responds to a #WIN command issued from the sub-windows.

for example, in the guild window send #WIN <main window name> GuildWindow: tell john hello

trigger on "GuildWindow:" in the main window then issue the command.

my question is why are you typging in the "Guild" window at all, if all it's doing is displaying your tells, just keep typing in the main command line and watch the windows.

i am typing in the guild window, because in my layout, i have several different "tell displaying windows" all stacked and tabbed, and it's easiest to reply to a guild message while viewing the guild window, and to reply to a chat message while viewing the chat window...and as i have to click on them to vies the different windows, the display windows often have the focus.

In each window, alias ' to the desired command. When using the alias, leave a space after the '.
#AL ' {guild}
' hello world
