That seems to only work with the colour at the start of a line, not the ENTIRE line (as I said, were a line contains multiple colours). :/

I've run into an issue concerning accurate echoing of lines with multiple colours on them. If a line should have every word in a different colour, is there a way to somehow copy that line and echo/modify it while maintaining its original colours?

Just to make it clear, i'm not using : or ; as a seperator...that was just for illustrative purposes :( And nice try Iocun! Timer actually fired, but returned... Lua error:[string "defence_list["Fitness"].balance=1"]:1: attempt to index global 'defence_list' (a nil value). It is ...

if string.find(v.special, "timer [%d]+") then local delay = tonumber(string.find(v.special, "timer ([%d]+)")) tempTimer(delay,defense_list[k].balance = 1:Cure_Balances["Salve"].used = false:send("stand")) else tempTimer(1,defense_list[k].balance = 1) end Sepe...

well, good point. Was but an example though. What do you do when you have multiple commands that need encasing in []'s?

I have some code that basically looks like this...
but the timer fails to correctly insert the value of k, would anyone know a way around this? Sohl suggested encasing the command in --'s but that didn't help.

Congratulations, you have been promoted to the rank of Captain Obvious. This might be tied into it (seems like the function its referring to involves colours). Signing into Achaea and sending messages both cause Mudlet to crash, if i comment out getFgColor() then it works fine (well, no colour but n...

I'm recieving this error but the place it points too is just a bit above my head.
Anyone any clues on whats causing it?

So i can store the lines, plus colours in a buffer...the call it back at the end of the paragraph (with additions)? If so...how? (no directing to that insane mudlet manual! Its more confusing than the program is )

Mudlet has anonymous buffers for this type of task. You create one -> createBuffer(name) and then use copy() and paste() to copy the text + colors to your buffer. The buffer can be accessed just like a regular console buffer (=text window) - and it can even be shown on the screen with showWindow(bu...
