Zugg Software :: View topic - Sending a string to the window without getting sent to mud

I have a trigger that i would like to check for a short description of someone and then spit it back out to the screen without sending it to the MUD. I read this somewhere and can't find it now. I can get zmud to spit the name back at me when it sees the string easy enough but can't remember the command to not send to mud.

Thanks!

You have a few choices.

#ECHO, which is supposed to make your text look as though it came from the mud
#SAY, which prints a message plus a newline to the window without sending it to the mud
#SAYPROMPT, which is the same as #SAY but without the newline
#SHOW, which not only prints text but also expands variables and functions
#SHOWDB, which is a #SHOW for database variables to list them in a neat, easy-to-read list

Be warned however, anything that hits the screen can activate your Triggers. even #SAY
