| What I manually type now:
emote looks around and says "`9Ahh, this looks nice`6" and takes a seat. Turning, he asks "`9Do you need anything else?`6" in a confused voice.
What I'd like to be able to do:
<alias> looks around and says "Ahh, this looks nice" and takes a seat. Turning, he asks "Do you need anything else?" in a confused voice.
I would need to have a way to parse everything after the alias, and insert a color code after the first " then another after the second " , then...I guess loop to continue looking for more sets? I'm just starting to dabble in LUA, so please excuse my lack of proper terminology.
Thanks for any help/pointers you may can provide! | | Top |

| I have, but I am confused as to the syntax I'd use. Since I'll have a string of text after the alias, how do I tell MUSH to replace the first " with "`9, and the second " with "`6, then do it again for any other sets of quotes? I tried this, but it didn't work.
<aliases>
<alias
match="mote * "*" * "*" * "*" *"
enabled="y"
sequence="1"
>
<send>emote %1 `9%2`6 %3 `9%4`6 %5 `9%6`6 %7</send>
</alias>
</aliases>
