I'd like to change say to show something else e.g say hello, pleased to meet you would give whispers in a lilting accent hello, pleased to meet you

This would improve my role play a great deal.
I can do this with emotes but it is a bit cumberson. Anyone got a suggestion?

Many thanks in advance.

Wow that was fast Lightbulb, and appreciated :)

Yeah easy answer to the question. Was obvious when I seen it. I posted because I had seen someone else do this using a more complicated script using emote and %1 within it.

This wil work and I am chuffed. :)

Been testing and it did not work Lightbulb. The reason being that the say command must go to the mud so it knows that I am trying to say something. Making an alias would make the mud not process what I'm trying to say.

I think I need something that will take what I am saying, hold it and place the emote 'whispers in a sweet voice' before the words that follow the say command.

Im not sure if I have made this clear, I'm a little confused myself ;-p

You should post exact examples of what you want sent to the mud, and what you want to type to send it.

In the meantime, try:
#AL say {/emote Whispers in a sweet voice }

Ok good idea Itsmarty :) I shoulda done it in the first place

What I type to the mud

say hello Bob

What I would like to send to mud is

whispers in a sweet voice 'hello Bob'

Bob would see on his screen

Karnie whispers in a sweet voice 'hello Bob'

Hope this makes things clearer :)

I'm not sure if you can do this with Aliases, but here goes:

#AL say (*) {emote whispers in a lilting accent '%1'}

Hope that helps.
If it doesn't feel free to beat me with a stick.

You claim that you need to send "say" to the MUD, but not one of your examples has shown that.

If you need the "say" command to go to the MUD, there are two options.

1. Use a different name for the alias
#AL sweet {say whispers in a sweet voice '%-1'}

2. Use the quote character (tilde) ~ before the "say" in the alias value.
#AL say {~say whispers in a sweet voice '%-1'}

Or, if we take what you put in your example

quote:
What I type to the mud

say hello Bob

What I would like to send to mud is

whispers in a sweet voice 'hello Bob'

#AL say {whispers in a sweet voice '%-1'}

Which is only a minor change from my initial suggestion.
