Silent Frame Form Execution.

[Ayesyn]

Hopefully there is a way to accomplish this, but a search over the forums and the various functions has not helped me figure this one out.

On a high level, what I am attempting to accomplish is using multiple forms within a frame to select an ability, then the qualities unique to that ability during a roll. Pretty much everything works fine, except there is an empty line entered into the Chatbox when the first form is submitted.

In short, I want to be able to submit an html form without causing output in chat. I would usually use the H roll option, but in this case it also prevents the html from appearing in the frame.

Posting some code would be helpful, but you probably have a comment outside of the frame code segment. You can either delete it or put the comment in a statement like so:

Code: Select all

[H: '<!-- comment -->']

What I really recommend is using Wiki: defineFunction() (UDF) and turn the output off. And for the form process macro, set the output to "none".

Ensure that the output part of your macrolinktext on the form process is set to "none" not anything else. (the second parameter).

I have a lib token starter kit here: http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php ... 31#p255459

It automatically sets all your macros to UDFs with no output and has a function for output with additional options. You can read the token notes for details.

This was what got me where I needed to be with regards to this specific macro. That's what I get for copy-pasting code out from a tutorial without fully understanding the arguments for the function. Thank you!

I had not looked at the defineFunction element before. This looks remarkably powerful and will help me streamline a lot of the work I still have to do on the framework. Thank you for that guidance, aliasmask.
