Hi! I've been gagging many of my messages and replacing them with simple one word phrases like PARALYSED! and my ability to control a fight has improved exponentially. I have also successfully gagged my prompt because I just don't need that extra line during a fight and often things scroll by so fast I can't pay any attention to it anyway. It usually looks like this:

2516h, 2808m cekxdb-

I don't care whether my cloak is up when in the middle of a fight and equilibrium and balance tell me when they come back up, I do not need to see them all of the time. I have buttons that turn colors as blindness, deafness and kola defenses go up and down but they don't always trigger since there are more ways to strip these defs than I have scripted so far. It would be great if I could gag the prompt but use the prompt letters to trigger the colored buttons. my trigger looks like this right now:

#Trigger {(%n)h, (%n)m (%w)-} {#gag}

I think the (%w) should be able to be replaced with something like (?)(?)(?)(?)(?). then if any of the letters are k or d or b, I want to add the trigger that goes something like:

#If one of the (?) is k then #noop %btncol(Kola, red, white) otherwise #noop $btncol(Kola, white, black)

etc for all three letters. In my opinion this would work very well as I get the updated information constantly. Can someone please help me with this one?

As long as none of the letters are repeated this will work:

#if (%pos(k,%3)) {#call %btncol(Kola,red,white)} {#call %btncol(Kola,white,black)}

The %pos function returns the position of the first string (k) in the second (your string of letters), it returns 0 if it's not present. You should be using #call rather than #noop for calling functions.

I use #NOOP for calling functions. #CALL is for COM calls, if I'm not mistaken. Either should work in this case, however.

Both work, but Zugg is trying to stop people from using #NOOP.

I use the #NOOP to avoid yet another meaningless line scrolling down my screen. Without it I get something like btncol Kola ### where the # is the color number (I think). It has been a while since I tried it. Anyway thanks for the help. I'll give it a try.

I'm not sure what you mean by "avoiding another meaningless line" - #call doesn't print anything when I use it in conjunction with %btncol like I described above, and it's the prescribed way of calling functions like this (check out the #noop help file, it points you to use #call instead).
