I have created a backstab macro on f2, and a flee on another key.
If I use the numpad to walk in a direction then quickly press backstab-flee the direction command is suddenly spammed like 6 times again after the backstab command. It seems to occur when I press the macros very quickly.
For instance, when I press
w (KEY4)
backstab @target (F2)
flee (MULT)

... I get is something like this sent to the mud:
w
backstab lion
w
w
w
w
w
w
flee

I do have triggers declared but I don't think any of them is fired when I enter the room.

Any ideas on what may happen or what I can do about it?

Thanks,

Rolf

Could it be the multi (keyboard) button and not ZMud? I wonder what is the effect of lowering the key repetition rate. Could you #say a confirmation that you pressed the key also to see if you spam the confirm and you can know when and that you have done everything you wanted. As far as hyper-quickly sending anything from the keyboard I have found it is not a good idea. Anyway. I have no clue but those are my thoughts.

edit: I read that wrong by association to my idea of the Flee command from years back.

Does the flee command send W by design?
Is the num 4 key sticking?

I just assumed you are using #var to give the last direction (which oddly was forward and not a known one) and flee is an alias that sends W Flee. If you are using #addi, that would not be good in any way I can see except you pop the reciprocal of whatever string that would be, still popping that would move through the list, yet that would be what it was supposed to do.

I realize I am not really getting this, if the entire code is up there and you press multi which just has flee written in it, and you are not recording moves, do you have any of those macro boxes checked? (I am going on out of boredom but you did ask, now I will stop)

(oh #addi wont addi w more then once, I am not terribly credible but I can debug)

Thanks Leitia,

seems it had to do with key repetition speed on the keyboard!
