Gagging output

[Akaxi]

I have some code that pulls out text from the main display and puts it in a miniconsole. I can remove the text from the main display (using selectString(matches[1],1) and deleteLine() ), but I still end up generating another command line prompt.

For instance (this is in MKO), the main display has something like

7110 health, 286 endurance xb-ih
7110 health, 286 endurance xb-

With the actual output of 'ih' going elsewhere. I'd like the second line there to never appear, or alternatively for the first one to be removed, so on the main display its like the command never happened. Any ideas?

Make a trigger that matches on your prompt, and has the following logic:

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

if  promptGag == nil then promptGag = false end -- Make sure we're not checking a nil variable

if promptGag == true then 
 deleteLine(line)
end 

promptGag = false

In your IH capture alias, set a variable :
'promptGag = true'

You can also use:

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

deleteLine()
tempLineTrigger(1,1,[[if isPrompt() then deleteLine() end]])

Thanks, both of you!

Unrelated question - is the echoLink() bug still active? (https://bugs.launchpad.net/mudlet/+bug/589706/+activity)
I'd like to format the text other than blue underlined in a miniconsole, but I don't see an obvious workaround and the "true" boolean argument seems to be bugged.

Not a big deal, of course - just curious!

it'll work in the next update, or might work in the latest prerelease.
