| Hi.
I want to switch the aliases I have on a MUD to the alias list in MUSHclient.
The problem that comes to mind is I tried one and it didnt work too well.
alias: ba *
send: cast 'ballistic attack' %1
If I do ba (target) to start a battle, it works fine.
But during a battle, just using ba, the MUD returns a "Cast spell on who?" message.
I have a bunch of aliases similar to that one, and I don't really feel like making 2 aliases for 1 spell.
Just wondering what you could suggest for that.
Appreciate the help,
Frederic | | Top |

| It says that because your alias has a space in it. Thus is is looking for:
ba(space)(something)
You can work around that by using a regular expression, like this:
Alias: ^(ba|ba (.*))$
Send: cast 'ballistic attack' %2
Regular expression: checked
This says to look for "ba" only, or "ba" followed by a space, followed by other things. Thus it covers both cases. You have to change %1 to %2 because of the way the regular expression works. |
