Sending a hidden command to the mud
|
Is there a feature or way that I can have say a specific trigger or alias send the commands to the mud, but not have it scroll or show the commands on my screen? Without using the #GAG command, and still maintain the normal output from all other settings?

Yep, you're looking for the #SEND command. For example,
#SEND supersecretpassword |

I tried using this to cut spam, replacing
drink health
#gag
with
#send drink health
for instance, and nearly got killed in my next fight when health elixir never got sipped. The help page on #SEND is not very clear about what it does and doesn't seem to corroborate what you say it does either. I must be missing something very simple. Can anyone clarify? |

Is drink a defined alias in your settings?
What version of zMud are you using?
#SEND drink health will send the two words drink health to the mud.
You can test the #SEND command by asking a friend to tell you what he sees when you use #SEND outside of combat. ie. #SEND tell joe Is this a question? |

drink isn't an alias, it's a MUD command. #SEND drink health was not sending "drink health" to the MUD, hence I almost died. (I had to type "drink health" myself to survive until I went back and took the #send out.) I'm using v7.05.

I don't know why #SEND drink health wasn't working for you, but there is a lesson here. If something is critical to your survival, test it before relying on it.
I intend investigating the #SEND command myself, hopefully someone will find where the problem is soon. |

#send "drink health" is working fine, actually. I've got #send all over my system now. :) Sometimes I have to use an %eval() to get it to work (%1 is evaluated in a #send but @Variable isn't without the %eval()) but it always can be gotten to work. Has made a big difference. This forum is great for these little tips.
