How to Gag Consecutive Blank Lines?

Post by Laps »

How can I make a trigger that causes all stretches of consecutive blank lines to be condensed into a single blank line?

Here's a trigger that gags every blank line:

I was thinking of something like this (also notice the AND / Multi-line (delta) checkbox), but it has the same effect as above (leaving no blank line in tact):

Seems like this should be simple, I'm new to Mudlet though so any help is appreciated!

The bottom one looks ok, except the line delta of 0 makes it only fire if it's on the same line, which two blank lines never could be. set the line delta to 1 and try that

Hmm, this seems to be deleting even single blank lines - and in fact so does the trigger in my original post. I'll demonstrate below, where I'll paste the result of the following commands:

Code: Select all

frag
<enter>
<enter>
<enter>
Here's what it looks like by default, with no trigger:

Code: Select all

frag

Frag Level Cap: 56 - Good, 56 - Others, Top Frag Amount: 36.21
Timer: 00:00:00:00 Frags needed: 19.20

...and here's what it looks like with the trigger - regardless of whether I put 0 or 1 in the AND / Multi-line (delta) text box:

The next pattern starts matching on the same line as the previous line (this is helpful for other scenarios), so inbetween the two lines, put a 'line spacer' with a value of 1 to make it skip onto the next line.

Woohoo, that works! Thanks :)

Here's the working trigger:
