As an illustrative example, say I have a main package which contains most of my triggers and scripts, but I also have a supplementary windows package with windows for alerts, communication and things like that. I have a number of aliases I use for printing things to the screen. If the user has that window package loaded as well, I want the alias to print to those windows rather than the main one.

#alias print_alert {#if (%PackageIsLoaded(Windows)) {:Alerts:#echo {Alert: %-1} {#echo Alert: %-1}}

or perhaps

#alias print_alert {%if(%PackageisLoaded(Windows),:Alerts:)#echo {Alert: %-1}}

The PackageIsLoaded function doesn't exist, so anyone know a way to do this?

As a work around you could always use %window to see if the window is open, but yeah a %package function would be nice to see if a package is enabled disabled or non existant

I'll try to add something to detect if a package is loaded in the future. Of course, then you will probably also want some commands to load and unload packages, right? It's never ending :)

Perhaps not, actually, since packages almost always contain modules that you can turn on and off instead of loading packages on the fly. Though a command like #T+ and #T- that controls modules would be nice. Or simply adding something like {||ModuleName|Class} or just {||Modulename} to it. That way you can control all or some of the settings in a package all at once.
