Anyone know how to do this?
I am on a mud where I can play two players at the same time.
I want to be able to control my healer from my main's window.

In zmud I can create an alias, for example sov and give it a value of:
Moiraine:cast 'sov' %1
Lan:

What this does is switches to my alt's window "Moraine" and casts sov on who I specify from my main's window, then it switches back to my main "Lan".

I am looking to do similar in MUSHClient

Thanks!

GetWorld

The documentation for the GetWorld script function is available online. It is also in the MUSHclient help file.

From that page, using Lua, your example might be:


function SendToWorld (name, message)

local otherworld

  otherworld = GetWorld (name)

  if otherworld == nil then
    Note ("World " .. name .. " is not open")
    return
  end

  Send (otherworld, message)

end -- of SendToWorld

SendToWorld ("Moiraine", "cast 'sov' whatever")

So, turn that into an alias and you are done. :)

Thanks,

Exactly what I was looking for.

It took me a second to figure out the name of the world but you can just go to File > World Properties > name the world whatever you want.

Works like a charm!
