While I'm all for the above variables for tracking connection or non- connection, this is doable via sysConnectionEvent and sysDisconnectEvent by the user if they are properly implemented.
Granted, I'm not familiar with the backend code on disconnection. However, as I get a sysDisconnectEvent from Mudlet when the MUD initiates disconnect, I assume that Mudlet has some method of determining when the change from connected to disconnected happens. I propose that this be the only time that sysDisconnectEvent is raised - not when someone calls disconnect(), which is just the command to Mudlet 'hey, go disconnect', which won't do anything if the MUD isn't already connected - can't terminate a non-open connection, eh? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mudlet Makers, which is subscribed to Mudlet. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1676955 Title: disconnect() calls a sysDisconnectEvent of it's own Status in Mudlet: New Bug description: Sample Code: function doubleEcho() cecho("\n<black:yellow>This will echo twice, but only if currently connected to the MUD when disconenct() is called") end registerAnonymousEventHandler("sysDisconnectionEvent","doubleEcho") disconnect() Explanation: sysDisconnectEvent is designed to let you know that the connection to the MUD has been terminated. However, regardless of whether there is a connection to the MUD, calling the disconnect() function raises sysDisconnectEvent. When connected to a MUD, this results in sysDisconnectEvent being called twice if you manually run a disconnect(). If the MUD disconnects you on the other hand, you only get one sysDisconnectEvent, as proper. Usually this is no problem. However, sometimes a function that is registered to sysDisconnectEvent will have issues if it is run twice. Other times you may not want said function to run unless already connected to the MUD when disconnect() is called.
