I'm trying to do something of the folowing.

the mud output is this

You catch the glint of something special.

I want to color it red, and make it flash, and repeat it about a dozen times...

I can get the line to flash bold red using #cw {You catch the glint of something special.}, but I can't get it to repeat itself

I've tried #show, checking #cw, #color, %color ... it's just not working. Does anyone have any suggestions?

You want to print the like "You catch the glint of something special" again five more times? The #CW command you have there has created a trigger. Find that trigger and add this line to it:

#6 {#show {%ansi(blink,red)You catch the glint of something special.}}

You're trying to pull a fast one on me aren't you.

If I weren't a smart little bunny, I wouldn't have known to remove trigger on trigger ;)

Thanks Fang, that works perfectly!!!!!!
