One other problem I been fighting with...

I am trying to eliminate spam on my screen when I look at some items that are marked with names...

an example is

It looks like some shiny object.
On it you see engraved, 'some words'.
and thien a ton of descriptions or random text based on the object
that I dont care to see... I just want to see what is engraved
>

I have successfully pulled out the engraving using regex, but I cant gag the extraneous descriptions.... here is what I tried

(this is the action for the engraving it works perfectly)
#ga;#show The words are: %1;#class ignoreall 1

and in ignoreall I have these
#regex {>} {#class ignoreall 0}
#action {*} {#ga}

I was skeptical if it would work... it doesnt... (note the #action might be #trigger I cant remember where ZMUD saves the command line version of loaded scripts so I typed it out by memory)

Basically at the end of the descrition there is always a line beginning with > (and decsriptions never have > in them) so I wanted to use that to turn off the gags...

Hopeflly this is possible... if not I'll just make a more "visible" way of seeing these things...

Thanks again!

Hmm, ok, i don't see all that you are asking but here goes anyways.
you can use #gagon and #gagoff here,

#trigger {^On it you see engraved, '(*)'. } {#gag;#show The words are: %1;#gagon;#class ignoreall}
#trigger {^>} {#gagoff}

I do not know how to automatically put triggers in a class using triggers. I don't know why you would turn on and off the class, so if it hmm doesn't work for whatever reason consider that. Hope that works.

well i figured it out today... turned out to be a bit convoluted...

here is what worked in the end (single trigger though!)

#gagon
#ga
#ga -1
#wait 1
#gagoff
#show This mark is to: %1

I tried varies combinations of PROMPT and NEWLINE because it appeared the following text (immediate 2-3 lines after the trigger) were all part of the same line just broken by newlines... but even that didnt work, if I used PROMPT triggering it didnt catch anything at all even when making it look for *my text* (simplified for laziness)

So for future reference.... there it is

the #wait is required for some reason... without it it doesnt #GAG the extra spam... but even a value of 1 makes it work... causes a tiny flicker... but I can live with that! :D

hey, can you post a whole output from your mud? just straight from it. from the you examine it to the very end. (>)

#trigger {^On it you see engraved, '(*)'.} {#gag;#show The words are: %1;#gagon;#class ignoreall 1}
#trigger {>} {#gagoff; #class ingnoreall 0}

Looks like in the first time i had an extra space in the first trigger.

Note: you probably can also use your prompt display (your hp mana movement etc)
from your mud to substitute for > (the pattern in the second trigger). If you do that
you may need to turn on the prompt option for the second trigger.
