Because that's not the way Mushclient does its triggering/gagging.

You could always use the DeleteLine function.

The more detailed answer is because MUSHclient displays the lines as they arrive. It also doesn't assume that your trigger matches on a fixed number of lines (could've matched two lines, even if it's setup for three), and so it can't be sure how many lines it needs to delete.

I have tried every possible combination to make this work, but I always get that error back

Have you thought about just getting a support contract Dynami?

I am pretty sure those only apply to the Treant system

That will be $1 good sir.

You might have to do it like this:



... because I'm not sure if MUSHclient will accept concatenation in ColourNotes.

It does. It's just that, as has been pointed out and corrected, they made mistakes in their concatenation.

Mine works fine. Put my code in an alias ^wow (.*)$ and do wow estarra.

So, let's pretend I don't know anything about Lua... What would I need to do to allow me to discern people before I psyvamp and stuff? I don't like using egoscan because it takes up a possible good spot.
What I am getting at is what do I need to do to make Discernment tell me the percent a person is at when it catches their ego?

This works, although it's not lovely. It rounds up to nearest 1%. Copy/Paste that into the triggers tab.

How would I make an alias to buff?

For example I would like to use my abilities foo, bar, and baz, but each requires equilibrium or balance and I need to pause briefly in between commands.

If you're using Vbscript, you can make an alias that does this:

World.send "food"
world.doafter 5, "bar"
world.doafter 10, "baz"
Make sure you set it to send to script.

I'm not sure how quick your equi/balance is, but you can change the numbers to suit you. This is basic, but it works.

I'm trying to use Lua but I'm sure it will be very similar. Thanks!

The most efficient way to do it is to setup a queue of actions and execute the next one when you regain equilibrium/balance from the last. Timers are easy, but they're only good to a point, especially temporary timers like DoAfter.

I'm fiddling with I/O in Lua MUSHClient and have hit a snag.

I'm using this in the immediate code execution bit.



Now after running that, I track down the my.txt file that's been created, and I can't delete it because it's still open by MUSHClient. How do I close it properly? I can delete the file after closing MUSHClient, but I want to sever all ties immediately. This is the first time I've used I/O in Lua, so please don't say "OMG you're an idiot."

You're mixing functions that aren't meant to be used this way. You use either open or input/output, not both.

Oh... Ha. Thanks.

Mm...I'm doing this, now.



And it gives me this (the error caused by the last line, io.close())
