Zugg Software :: View topic - want trigger to fire only once and then disable

Beginner Joined: 21 Sep 2009 Posts: 17

so i have a class setup ( wall bump)

within the class I setup the trigger {a (*) bumps into} {order minion k %1}

however i'm concerned more than one potential variable could "bump into"

causing me to fire off multiple orders which have lag built into them which would then cause me to die.

is that just the inherent nature of the variable or can i have it fire once and immediately ignore all other input and disable itself?

You have options. First one is to just #T- the trigger and then have another trigger or alias or whatever #T+ it back on. Second one is to wrap your original code in an #IF command that checks the value of some governing variable so that if multiple fires happen anything but the first just do nothing.

In CMud, we have the option to turn off matching on this line by subsequent triggers but I don't remember if ZMud had something similar.

thanks. It took me a while but i remebered how i did it. I had to set an alias for #t- within the class to make it fire and set an alias that i punchin to reinitiate it.
