Need some help with a script

Treyden

I know there is the whole deleteLine() thing you can do scripting wise to make lines go away, however I need help figuring out how to make it so that I don't get a prompt every time something that is deleted line wise doesn't cause a prompt to show up, any tips or ideas?

Omei

Here's a quick and lazy way to do it. It will get results but is by no means the best way to throttle additional prompts.

gagLine = function ()

deleteLine()

gagPrompt = true

end

At the very top of your prompt code:

if gagPrompt == true then

gagPrompt = nil

deleteLine()

else

doOtherStuff()

end

From then on, just use gagLine() where you would usually use deleteLine().

That's what they all say.

Little known fact...


There's already deleteFull() built into mudlet, which does the exact same as what Omei suggested.

Omei

What! What is this madness.

Ohhhhh, it's not listed in the official API. No wonder I've never heard of it. Very handy, though. Definitely recommend using deleteFull(), it appears to set up a temporary trigger to delete the next prompt based on the isPrompt() function, so it'll work with any system.
