Just wondering how to disable triggers reacting to the command line echo thingy, such as, I type in something or other, like an illusion of an attack, it goes "type: Conjure illusiony Johnny stabs you with a poisonny thing"
"You conjure the illusiony thing"
It'd see the first one, and think Johnny is stabbing me with the poisonny thing, couldn't see a disabler thing in the options, any help is dandy

Probably easier to improve your triggers. At the moment then I could also send you a tell saying "Johnny stabs you with a poisonny thing" to fool you CMUD into doing whatever your triggers react with.

so the disabler thing is probably more of an improved pattern thing you're after.
#TRIGGER {^(%w) stabs you with a poisonny thing.$} {#say Back off poisonny %1!}
The ^ at the beginning forces it to only match from the start of a line. The $ at the end forces it to match the end of the line.

Guinn is right. You can anchor your trigger patterns for greatly improved performance and anti-illusion measures. Also, you could make an alias for conjuring an illusion that would use #SEND to quietly send the illusion text, preventing the triggers from firing. The only downside to that (as far as I can see) is that you wouldn't have your illusion texts in any logs you recorded.
