I use an adapted version of the Achaean Curing Project by Larkin for Lusternia. It's a prompt cure system, but it seems to be trying to cure some afflictions multiple times on some prompts. Here's an example: what the script should do is, when a pipe goes out, add it by number to a variable, then light the pipe from that variable when equilibrium is regained. Here's what actually happens:

Your pipe has gone cold and dark.
Queuing 75515 for lighting

You have recovered equilibrium
1989h, 3472m, 2520e, 10p ex-
1671h, 3472m, 2520e, 10p ex-light 75515
light 75515
light 75515
abjure cosmicfire 2590

You carefully light your treasured pipe until it is smoking nicely.
Pipe 75515 successfully lit
1671h, 3472m, 2520e, 10p ex-
That pipe is already lit and burning nicely.
Pipe already lit
1671h, 3472m, 2520e, 10p ex-
That pipe is already lit and burning nicely.
Pipe already lit
1671h, 3472m, 2520e, 10p ex-

This happens with every type of cure, so it's obviously running through the entire prompt_cure script multiple times. I tried setting a timer on it to only run once within every 400 milliseconds or something, but that freezes the cliet for 400 milliseconds after every prompt, making it too slow to be worthwhile. I also tried using a variable and toggling it between 0 and 1 at each prompt, and only running the prompt_cure script when the variable was = 1, but even then the same problem of multiple cures came up.

Sorry for the long post, but does anybody have any ideas what the problem might be and how to get around it? Thanks!

I think it is triggering multiple times on your prompts.

It would probably work to turn the trigger on and off for when it is doing it's job, but I haven't yet figured out when to enable or disable it. If I disable it as soon as the affliction is recognized, it will never cure. If I disable it when it begins the curing process, it's already too late and will be run twice anyway. I also tried disabling it on every run-through until it reaches the cure, but then it shuts off permanently at any prompt when no affliction is found. I also tried adding another alias that runs at the end of the script to re-enable the trigger, but then I'm back to the original problem of it setting off on each new line.

You say it still runs twice?

That could be due to the problem with dual triggering Triggers.

They trigger on Prompt and then trigger again on the same line on Newline.

I suggest you duplicate that prompt trigger into two triggers, one for Prompt only and one for Newline only.

Place both of these triggers in the same class and make each trigger disable their class when triggered. Enable that class whenever you regain equilibrium.

Hope that works.
