Newbie Alias Problem
|
Hello. I've tried a while trying to figure out how to get this to work but haven't had any luck yet. Essentially I just want an alias that runs another random script. The best I can find so far is this:
| Code: |
#VAR xplist {alias1|alias2|alias3|alias4|alias5|alias6}
%item(~@xplist,%random(1,6))
|
I have tried things like prepending #EXEC before the %item(-- line but the results are always the same. It just sends 'alias1' to the mud as raw text without parsing it as an alias.. I've found that in the helpfiles if I want to specifically send raw text like this is doing i must usually prepend the command with a tilde (~).. but what about explicitly declaring i want it to BE parsed.. hrm, Anyone have a fix for me? =) |

| Code: |
#alias alias1 {smile}
#alias alias2 {frown}
#alias alias3 {cartwheel}
#alias alias4 {raspberry}
#alias alias5 {smirk}
#alias alias6 {laugh}
#VAR xplist {alias1|alias2|alias3|alias4|alias5|alias6}
#alias random {%item(@xplist,%random(1,6))} |
Works, though you should use this instead for the random alias.
| Code: |
| #alias random {#exec {%item(@xplist,%random(1,6))}} |
This makes it cMud compatible if you ever choose to upgrade. |

Thank you very much! That worked perfectly. It's actually funny because i tried that cmud compliant line exactly letter for letter. However my #VAR declaration before it for some reason was preventing it from working. Just put the #VAR declaration in a seperate alias and away it went.
Thanks again |
