| I have wraked my brain trying to figure this out. I play alot of PK muds, and PK'ing is my favorite thing. Now Im lookin for a way to set an aliase like such.<Target *>(where whatever * is saved and then I can have aliases like)
<kt=murder Variable [or] cdt=com 'demonfire' Variable> problem, I cant seem to get the coding down going from the first alias to the variable, and then for the alias to pull the information from the variable. Im just not good with code, and was wondering if yall could help me get this rolling.
Thanks fellas, and lassys.

| This is pretty easy. First you need an alias to set the variable (the target), although you could do it without scripting, by enabling scripting, and just typing:
/world.SetVariable "target", "whatever"
If, however, you want your alias ("target whatever") then make an alias like this:
Alias: target *
Label: NewTarget
Script: NewTarget
Then add the following small script to the supplied script file, or just make a small file with this in it ...
sub NewTarget (thename, theoutput, thewildcards)
world.SetVariable "target", thewildcards (1)
end sub
Then, typing "target blah" should set the variable "target" to "blah". You can confirm that by looking at the "variables" tab in the configuration dialogue.
Having done that, everything else is simple. Make your other aliases (murder variable) like this:
Alias: murder @target
Expand variables: checked
This will cause "@target" to be replaced by the current contents of the "target" variable. |

| Just to eliminate what might be confusing, I think Nick meant to put this:
Alias: murder
Expand Variables: CHECKED
Send: murder @target
...Then you would just type "murder" by itself while connected to the mud, and the alias would append the value stored in the "target" variable.
Also, you might want some feedback when you have set a new variable. The following script is just Nick's, with an extra line added:
sub NewTarget (thename, theoutput, thewildcards)
world.SetVariable "target", thewildcards (1)
world.Note "Target: " & world.GetVariable("target")
end sub
The 'world.Note' line will send a line to your output screen confirming that the variable was set. |

| Oops, you're right Magnum!
In fact, from the original post, he really wants:
Alias: kt
Send: murder @target
Expand variables: checked
And for his other example:
Alias: cdt
Send: com 'demonfire' @target
Expand variables: checked
