Aliases?

[Anoneemus]

I'm wondering if there's any way to make an alias where the variable is part of the alias, i.e., instead of "destroy" being an alias for "kill %1", I want it to be one word..destroyrabbit will let me "kill rabbit". Is there any way to do this? I tried naming the alias destroy%w (for example), but that didn't work. Anyone know?

you can do that with gmud's alias system.

a-g

zMUD has a very very powerful and complicated system... I'm sure it can do it. How? Eh, it would take a lot of helpfile reading and i'm no where near that big of a nerd to know.

[Anoneemus]

Yeah sorry, I forgot to mention I'm using zMUD. Too many years of it to change now!

Look for a variable command in the zMud help - I use variables and aliases in my client (JMC) to do this. This was one of the reasons I went to JMC from GMUD.

If you can find the commands post them here and I'll show you how to set it up.

From ZMud Help:

#ONINPUT

ONINPUT

Syntax: #ONINPUT id {pattern} {commands} classname options

So, you probably want something like this:

#ONINPUT {^destroy(*)$} {kill %1}

Thank you so so so much, I was beginning to think it couldn't be done. Woot!

I'm actually more curious in finding out why you'd want to do this as opposed to setting an alias (which is more efficient) and typing an extra space.

[Mudder]

I'm with you Grumpy. I have my aliases, then I just copy and paste my target. Quick and easy.

Mud aliases only.

After a bit, I started using FL's built in aliases. I can set them how I want, then get rid of them when needed

Well...it is usually more efficient, but in this case it's not.

I can't say too much or it will become obvious who I play. But anyway, thanks again for your help.

I'd use the IG aliases, but I can just set a whole spell list for necro/bmg/voker and never have to make another one again.

I reccomend wintin, especialy if your at least semi-profecient at programing or writing scripts of any kind.

Wintin uses no buffer for commands so everything is as direct to the mud as you can get without using mudside commands. You can make alias's just like you outlined in your op.

Wow someone else that uses JMC! Oh the things I've done to my client
