Alias Troubles
|
Okay so I haven't ever used CMUD before, and I'm rather perplexed.
I'm trying to set up just some rather basic aliases, but I can't seem to get it to accept multiple arguments. The helpfiles imply that it should. Here's an example of the problem I'm having.
This alias works:
<alias name="readyarmoire" id="94">
<value>ready armoire
get quiver
wear quiver
get hunting horn
wear horn
get scrip
wear scrip
</value>
</alias>
This alias does not work:
<alias name="ready armoire" id="94">
<value>ready armoire
get quiver
wear quiver
get hunting horn
wear horn
get scrip
wear scrip
</value>
</alias>
The only difference is readyarmoire -> ready armoire
If I click execute script, the commands are sent fine, but when I put 'ready armoire' into the mud, it doesn't seem to go through. Nothing happens.
I prefer the spaces in my aliases, so if someone can help me with this, I would appreciate the assistance. |

You can't have an alias with two separate parts to the name. You could use an underscore (_) if readability is your concern, though it will be less convenient to type.
Alternatively, if you have multiple "ready" aliases, you could combine them into a single alias, and use the follow on word as a parameter to determine what code to execute within the alias, using #SWITCH.

Typability is my concern, rather than readability. I have been using the same set of aliases for about 8 years, and multitudes of them are multi-word aliases. So having to relearn to type them all without spaces is going to be rough since they're so ingrained into me on a reflexive level. I may have to just bite the bullet and do it though.

Try trigger type COMMAND INPUT. Then you can use the multi-word aliases. :)

Additionally, you can create a database of commands with an alias of "ready", then you don't need to make multiple oninput triggers. For instance:
| Code: |
#ADDKEY readycommands {armoire} {ready armoire|get quiver|wear quiver|get hunting horn|wear horn|get scrip|wear scrip}
#ADDKEY readycommands {somethingelse} {list of other commands|similar to above format} |
Then you can do your ready alias as such:
| Code: |
| #ALIAS ready {#FORALL %db(readycommands, %1) {#SENDRAW %i}} |
Then all you need to do in the future is: ready armoire --- ready somethingelse --- ready somethingelseagain.
Good luck with future scripting! |
