I'm using ONINPUT for simplification reasons. Thus, I found this bug. Or at least, I believe it to be a bug.

Start out by creating this oninput:
#ONINPUT {^something$} {#echo This is something.}

Be connected to a MUD, then type "something" and hit return. It'll echo the "This is something." but it'll also send "something" as a MUDside command. In essence, it gets sent twice. I did this with the oninput listed below:

#ONINPUT {^addcast ~{(*)~} ~{(*)~}} {#addkey spells_cast_msg {%1} {%2}}

The reason I used the above format is because the key will contain multiple words, as can the value. For example:

You feel gills growing on your neck! //this is the key
underwater breathing //this is the value

so a regular alias will not work (at least, not that I can see).

Now, this only happens when #ONINPUT happens to have a CMUD command as its value (i.e., the #addkey or #echo). If it's something like:

#ONINPUT {^smile$} {gt *smile}

it only gets sent once.

You are looking for the #noinput command.
