Alias error
|
When my aliases are triggered the commands aren't being shown on screen, same goes for my triggers. I have a trigger that keeps causing me to be told "They aren't here." but I don't know what's causing it. Recall also doesn't work I get a zMud error "infinite loop detected in command parsing:~recall%-1:#RECALL. I have no triggers or aliases set for recall so I'm not sure why this is happening (Ican use / for recall so it's not a big deal).
I would very much appreciate help in correcting my settings or anything else that may be causing this. |

There is a default alias for "recall". This alias is designed with commands of:
~recall %-1 ~ bypasses parsing this as a reference to the alias, %-1 includes any and all parameters
#RECALL sets the position within the automapper to the defined recall point
If you have defined another "recall" alias then zMud would use it, but you must make sure to put a '~' before the name of the alias to have it not be parsed for existing aliases when that is the situation. That doesn't sound very clear, but it is then best way I can put it. |

I have not defined another alias as recall. I checked for that before I posted my question.
I also am having a problem with the #beep command. I've checked the sound file that it is set to play and it exists and works but when the command is triggered I get the response "They aren't here." Any clue why? |

It sounds like you may have either changed the Quote character to something other than ~ or disabled it completely. You can check by looking at Prefs, Special Characters.
If you have changed/disabled the Quote character, you can either change it back/reenable it or change/disable the alias. The recall alias is an inherited setting and it will be overridden if you make a new alias. However, it might be easier to simply disable it by putting this in the command line:
#AL atconnect {#T- recall alias}
No clue on the #BEEP problem, sorry. |

OMIGOSH! Thank you soooo much. All of my special characters except one were different than the default. I changed them back and now everything works, including my beep *hugs* :)
