an alias question
|
It use to be that in Zmud you could use %0 to add thing after a command for example:
alias gooc
command gdt -(ooc)- %0
and youd use it gooc blah blah and it would then send to guildtalk gdt -(ooc)- blah blah
but in Cmud I tried that but it results in that it actually send just %0 after the gdt -(ooc)-
whats the command and how do I do that in CMUD? |

You are looking for %-1 or %params either will work. Personally, I prefer the latter.
As an aside, %0 was a curious zMUD artifact that worked even though it wasn't supposed to. In other words it was a bug that became widely used. |

You can also create the alias with the option enabled to pass on the unused arguments to the MUD, and it will have the same effect as putting %-1 or %params at the end of your text.

well.... I tried the first suggestion...
%-1 resulted in : Spearhawk tells the group '-=(ooc)=- %-1'.
%param resulted in : Spearhawk tells the group '-=(ooc)=- %param'.
Its like its not capturing what im writing and adding that but merely puts the test in the alias as its written... |

I figured out what was wrong...
your not allowed to use either - or ( or = in the alias. it will not react then on the %-1 |

That's a good point - if the alias won't compile (which it won't with unmatched special characters like this) it'll send special variables verbatim. Try this:
#alias gooc {gdt "-=(ooc)=-" %-1}
In future, try having a look at the Compiled Code tab and see if your alias has compiled properly. |

%param didn't work because the it's actually %params. However the post about quotes still holds true, especially at the command prompt. Anything between double quotes are treated as literals and are not evaluated any further. |

It had an actual use in ZMud, but probably wasn't as narrowly focused as it should have been. Or perhaps even Zugg took advantage of the bug (it sort of depends on which feature came first), knowing that in ZMud he probably would never be able to actually fix it.
#MXPTRIG allows you to reference the text between a tag using %0 if you used the closing tag, I think, whereas triggering on the other tag would only expose the attributes of the tag. |
