Hi, I have two characters, I need one of the characters to send information to the other character without sending lines to it's screen, is there a way to send it to a seperate parse window, and have the character recieve the information off that? Thanks for your help =D

What kind of information? If you want to set variables, just use :windowname:#var whatever whatever. If you want to fire triggers, use :windowname:#fire whatever.

With variables, you really don't need to send anything unless you're trying to trigger off it. Using the @window.varname syntax, you can access it directly from any character.

Also, Fang got lost again. Mr. Green

Though his :windowname: advice is still valid for other reasons, #FIRE = new CMud command to force triggers to execute despite not matching a particular line of text. In ZMud, to make a trigger fire you will need to send a line of text to the window.

Bah. I'm constantly doing that these days :(

I would assume, however, that :windowname:#say whatever;#gag will have the same effect as #fire - the text will show, fire triggers, and then immediately be removed.
