New alias formatting
|
I used to have a simple alias used for keys called dokey. It consisted of:
take %1
unlock %2 %3
drop %1
open %2 %3
So that when you typed in dokey key door e, it would take key, unlock door e, etc. Well now when I try to use it with cMud, it tries to take key door e, instead of just the first variable. The other parts work fine but the first line isn't working properly. So I wanted to try to use the new $variable aliases in cMud, but the help file is confusing and I don't see how to use multiple local variables.
If anybody could tell me how to fix the %%'s or how to use the new alias function to work the way I want I would appreciate it. Thanks. |

Adjust the options for the alias by turning off "Auto append" and making sure "Parse arguments" is on. This will correct the problem.
An example of how to setup the alias to use local variables is
| Code: |
<alias name="dokey" id="11">
<value>take $key
unlock $door $dir
drop $key
open $door $dir</value>
<arglist>$key,$door,$dir</arglist>
</alias> |
Simply paste that into the XML table of your existing alias then click Save Changes. You can then go to the script tab to see where everything goes. |
