frontslash problems????
 
Its as simple as this:
I use 5.55 and cannot modify the / special character to be inactive. So I have a script that looks like:
bio
/c
random info
/s
The reason why being they edit commands on our mud. But when it comes out of my trigger it looks like:
bio;/c
random info /s

Is there a character I can put in my trigger to keep it from moving the /c and /s up to the previous line in the script? Or something else I can do BESIDES upgrade :P
Thanks,
Skaphia

It looks like you turned the seperator character ; off. / is not a special character in 5.55.

No, technically it is not. But it still acts like one in trigger scripts. And no, the seperator character is still active. I don't think you understand the problem. Please reply people, seems like a simple fix.

Just use a tilde (~) before the slash. ie. ~/c

Yeah, like I mentioned, the tilde doesn't worke because it creates an ae symbol and still screws up.

It wouldn't be visible, but you could likely do something like #SEND "/c"

No, you didn't mention that you have problems with the tilde creating an ae symbol. The script works fine (under default preferences) with the addition of the tilde.

bio
~/c
random info
~/s

Apparently, YOU changed (or disabled) the zMUD quote symbol so you could use the tilde for something else. There's nothing wrong with that, after all that's why there's a preference to change. However, nobody else has any way to know that you changed it or what you changed it to. So, replace the tilde with whatever character you ARE using as the quote character. If you have it disabled, TURN IT BACK ON and pick a symbol.
