Say I want to send the same messsage to more than one person at a time rather than have to manually type:

'tell gordeth do you want to buy equip?'
'tell Zeus do you want to buy equip?'
'tell john do you want to buy equip?'

Can someone make a script where all you have to do is name all the people you want to message then give the message? Something like this:

'Tell gordeth, Zeus, John do you want to buy gear?'

If anyone could help me with this, i'd be most appreciative, thanks.

This doesn't take an infinite amount of names, but I reckon 10 should be enough.

#ALIAS btell {#pr msg "Enter a message";#fo %1|%2|%3|%4|%5|%6|%7|%8|%9|%10 {#if %i!="" {tell %i @msg} {#abort}}}
#VAR msg {}

To send a bulk tell, enter BTELL <name1> <name2> ... <name10>, then enter the message when prompted.

e.g. BTELL gordeth zeus john, then enter "Do you want to buy gear?" when prompted.

Here's a slightly different #FORALL loop. It allows the user to name any number of people to ask, and you no longer need the #IF check. Other than that, Vittorio hit the nail on the head there.

#forall %replace(%-1," ","|") {tell %i @msg}
