Hey all, I'm trying to write a simple alias, but i've come into a snag, and i'm hoping you guys can help :)

3k (the mud i play on) has a 4 sp cost for using 'tell' ... there is an alternative command called 'linktell' (actual command is talk) which allows you to send the same tell to 5 or less people, and it has a 1 sp cost ..

My guild doesn't use sp for any guild powers, so i only have 50 of them, and I talk much faster than they regen :) .. Since it's cheaper to use linktell rather than tell, i want to write an alias that will automate this for me because there are a couple extra commands to use linktell (and i am so used to typing 't' to tell, that i forget to use linktell)

Here's what i have so far:

#IF (@spsaver="on") {
     addlink %1
     talk
     dislink %1
     } {tell %1}

I made another alias to control the @spsaver variable.

Here's the problem with my existing alias: it doesn't work :P the "IF" statement works just fine, and thier name gets placed properly (because thier name matches %1) but the message (%2 and onward) doesn't get appended to the end, like i had hoped it would.

How can i fix this? please help, thank you :)

Use %-2 where you want the message to be placed. %-2 grabs from the second argument you send to the alias to the end.
