Hello cMud users,

I have recently looked in to using cMud after a long, long stint with zMud. Everything has converted over but 2 aliases. Each are stored in cMud and not the actual game.

go - #walk
tel - #teleport

Each of these work in zMud but not cMud. I can type them without being in a stored alias and they work just fine. Is there a setting that I need to change?

I am typing this from my phone so sorry for any misspellings.

Thanks,

You'll need to show us the actual code for the aliases that aren't working.

They are #ALIAS go {#walk %0} and #ALIAS tel {#teleport %0}. Work in zmud but won't move the map at all.

Thanks,

You shouldn't be using %0. That was really old syntax that even zMUD didn't support properly. You should use %params to return all of the parameters sent to the alias:

#ALIAS go {#WALK %params}

or use %1 to refer to the first parameter, or %-1 to refer to the first parameter and all of the parameters after it (%-1 is the same as %params)

Thank you! I finally got home and added the %1 and it worked on the first try.

Thanks again!
