Saving an alias to a variable then executing the alias in the variable
|
Before I had a modular system that would allow for the use of different aliases within the system to run different modules with a main. For example:
| Code: |
#ALIAS setType {#RESET %1|counter; type = %2}
|
This alias would reset a counter folder and then assign %2 to the variable named 'type'.
I would then in following triggers do something like this:
| Code: |
#TR {^Here you see a (%1)} {@type %1}
|
This does not work in cmud as it does not treat @type as an alias but rather a string now. I tried %alias(), but that gives me the name and does not actually execute the alias. I'm sure I'm missing something basic that's just different than how zmud is.
Summary: I want to save the name of an alias in a variable then later call the variable which in turn executes the alias with parameters following it. |

You'll need to use the #EXEC function now. In zMUD, you were able to start a line with a function or variable (such as your example). With the changes (you can find them under the documentation), it is required to preface each line with a command, alias, or MUD command.

Ah, I read that but didn't realize it affected variable evaluation that way. Thanks, that works perfectly. |
