Another Simple Question
|
Ok, I know I'm bad to post stuff like this but...
I want to make an alias that will let me turn
cast 'fireball' <target>
into
fb <target>
Where I can just type say... fb dog and it will cast the spell at the dog.
I thought I would use %1 where target is but that isn't working. Any ideas?

#ALIAS fb {c 'fireball' %params}
That's what you're looking for, and yes, it is very simple. :P

When I type fb me. It just returns c 'fireball' %params. So it's targeting %params not me. What did I miss?

Go to package editor, select the fb alias, look towards the bottom right. There's a box there that says "Parse arguments." Make sure that box is checked. I just tested it myself, and it works for me. The only thing I can think of if that doesn't work is that you have % changed with something else.

Actually, even having it unchecked, it still works. Not sure why it's not working for you, then.

Actually all you need is to go into the alias edit, click new, type in fb as alias, and in the big editor window type c 'fireball'
Then click on the Auto append tick box at the bottom right corner.
Correct me if I am wrong.  |
