A couple cross session variable issues
 
Assuming Joe is my session name for my tank, I've got the following:

Code:
#ALIAS km {
  #IF (!%null(%1)) { mobIs %1 }
  #IF (%ismember(%db(@tankInfo,name),@multiMembers) {
    #ECHO %db(@tankInfo,name) @attackType %db(@mobInfo,name)
    :%db(@tankInfo,name):@attackType %db(@mobInfo,name)
}


mobIs is an alias that sets @mobInfo.name to %1
tankInfo has various tank related properties, like name, hp, low-HP heal amount, etc
multiMembers is a list of my characters (same as their session names)
attackType is a session specific variable. In Joe's case, it is ambush
mobInfo has various mob related properties. Currently just name, though

Problem 1:
:%db(@tankInfo,name): does not send the command to the session. Neither does @tankInfo.name
If I do
Code:
#VAR tn %db(@tankInfo,name)
:@tn:@attackType %db(@mobInfo,name)

The command gets sent to Joe. Is there a reason I would need this workaround?

Problem 2:
Code:
#ECHO :@tn:@attackType %db(@mobInfo,name)
:@tn:@attackType %db(@mobInfo.name)

The echo will show ":Joe:ambush fido"
The command will be ":Joe:ambushfido"

Any reason why the whitespace separating @attackType and %db(@mobInfo.name) gets lost?

I don't think the : syntax was really designed with variables in mind, you'd probably have better luck with the #execwin command.

Thanks! I've been checking out all the %functions and #commands, but somehow missed this one. I have a feeling this one will do just fine.

Code:

#ALIAS km {
  #IF (!%null(%1)) { mobIs %1 }
  #IF (%ismember(%db(@tankInfo,name),@multiMembers)) {
    #EXECWIN %db(@tankInfo,name) { %concat(@attackType," ",%db(@mobInfo,name)) }
  }
}


This works well. execwin allowed me to add the %concat in there so I could space the two variables, as well.
