Zugg Software :: View topic - #sh or #ec displays an extra blank line. Is there any way to remove this? SOLVED

Hi,

When I use #sh or #ec in zmud, it always displays two lines, one of the text I want echoed, and one blank line. Is there any way to *just* display the text I want echoed without the blank line?

EXAMPLE:
#ec %cr %ansi( cyan)~[%ansi( brown)***Illusioned @target***%ansi( cyan)~]

will display:

[***Illusioned So and So***]
and then underneath it here will be a blank line
and then here will be the mud prompt on the third line.

What I want is just

[***Illusioned So and So***]
and then here will be the mud prompt on the second line.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Any help in resolving this is greatly appreciated, thanks! Very Happy

Well, to start with, the MUD doesn't know you've done a show/echo. That's client side only. As far as I know there isn't any way to remove the line.

Hrm, thanks for that information.

I don't really understand why zmud would display a blank line though. Is there any purpose for this? Is there any other command I could use to display text besides #sh or #ec that wouldn't show a blank line?

Thanks again for any help! Mr. Green

I found the answer looking through the zmud reference guide!

For anyone wishing to know, one can use #ECHOP instead of #EC or #SHOWP instead of #SHOW to remove that extra line.

Thanks again for helping Ralgith!

You're welcome, I didn't even know about the extra echo/show commands lol
