First, I really want to add that mushclient is really nice on how it lets you script... I was just wondering if anybody ran into this problem... whenever i send a command in the timer like /world.DeleteVariable("test") it doesn't do it, and the only way i found around it was to send a note like delete("test") and a trigger would catch it and delete it, it seems that the text the timer sends should go through the interpretter before it gets sent into the output... i think that you should add a folder like zmud for triggers/alias/timers/variables/, and more options, like buttons, or buttons with text in them... and we should have our own status line above the command input and have a box option in preferences to have what variables/words we want in it... i also want you to know that the colourTell is very hard to use when things get really complicated and i know that this is how it is done in like java or c++, but i am wondering if there is a faster way to do it rather than world.ColourTell("black", "green", "Here,"); world.ColourTell("blue", "green,", "I"); world.ColourTell("white", "green", "am."); maybe something like world.Tell("green", %colour(black)"Here," + %colour(blue)"I" + %colour(white)"am."); You understand?? these are just suggestions but like if it makes your program slower.. don't do it...

"Send text" in timers and triggers does not go through the command interpreter, you are right, however you can make them call a script, and in the script do:

world.deletevariable "test"

You can set the status bar (at the bottom below the command window) in a script.

You could make your own interpreter for colour codes if you wanted to with a bit of scripting (eg. ~r becomes red, that sort of thing). Perhaps in a future version that could become a built-in option.

How would you script it in jscript so that ~r would make the next word red. I don't see any thing in your functions list that could do this... Maybe a return call could do it... Give some suggestions...

What I meant was that you would write a routine that takes some text, looking for special characters (like ~) and does the world.colournote for you.

Something like this:

Split the text at ~ characters
Look for a letter after the ~
Do the appropriate world.colournote
Send the rest of the text in that block

okay i actually have some code to match triggers with ~.

function misc_color(thename, theoutput, wildcardsVB) {
wildcards = VBArray(wildcardsVB).toArray();
var t_tell = world.Trim(wildcards[0]);
var t_color = t_tell.slice(0, 2);
var t_string = t_tell.slice(2);
var t_colourFore1 = world.GetVariable("colour_fore1");
var t_colourFore2 = world.GetVariable("colour_fore2");
var t_colourDisplay = world.GetVariable("colour_display");
var t_colourBack1 = world.GetVariable("colour_back1");

if(t_color == "ti") world.ColourTell(t_colourFore2, t_colourBack1, t_string);
else if(t_color == "di") world.ColourTell(t_colourDisplay, t_colourBack1, t_string);
else if(t_color == "no") world.ColourTell(t_colourFore1, t_colourBack1, t_string);
}

and my trigger is ~(\w*)

i tested it with the "Test Trigger" and it doesn't seem to work, seems like your trigger parser does work if i do something like ~tiI ~diam ~noweird it only get's like the first one ~tiI and will only display I with the desingated number. I even tried options like repeat on same line and keep evaluating but it doesn't seem to to work. and when i send it through a note/tell like world.Tell("~tiI") the trigger parser doesn't catch it which really sucks.... so it would be useless because that was the whole point...

i think this solved my whole color script stuff...

I was thinking of something along the lines of a plugin I just wrote. See Sending coloured text to the world window with ease

Once you have this function you can do things like this:

ColourNote "~R red ~G green ~B blue ~RY red-on-yellow"
