This code is a spell model for casting on group members but you may use it in other ways, including bash on an 8.orc

It follows where CT is the name of the Cure Critic alias:

CT %1 (%1 = a target)
casts 'CT spell' at default speed on target
assigns target %1

CT %1 (%1 = q f n c t)
casts with that as temp speed at previously assigned target

CT q f n c t and %2
casts temp speed q f n c Or t at %2
assigns target %2

CT q q [%3]
set new default speed quick [cast CT at %3 (new target) right now]
inputs CT highlighted, this will fire on target with default speed changed, just hit ENTER

CT CT
casts in combat with no target at MUME set speed

CT 4
casts default speed 'spell' at 4.target
assigns current target at 4.target

CT w %2
does not cast
assigns switch to %2

CT w 4
does not cast
assigns switch of target as 4.target

CT w
casts default speed 'spell' at switch (keep switched)

CT q w
casts temp speed quick 'spell' at switch (keep switched)

[EDITED] Concerns:

1. When making an new alias you must replace CT with the new alias name IN the script too. Easy to do with notepad, but use UPPER CASE. eg. for an alias named 'bob' replace CT with BOB.

2. Attack spells can use @target and @w_target vs. @ffocus and @w_ffocus. These go into the 'Shared' class and if you have @target elsewhere, this script may fail. Replace 'ffocus' not '@ffocus' to update the #var ffocus refs too.

3. There is an if statement to lose focus at the end, you would need to enable that for self casting with no player parameter. You can use "me' as a parameter, although in my player alias group I have the tilde key macro set to cast with no player parameter.

4. This script works as well for bash, bash disengage, and rescue. Useful for the switches and numeric concatenation, eg. 4.orc You need to replace the entire small spaced 'c ' statement with say, rescue @ffocus

5. For those no parameter spell like BOB, search for a small spaced 'c ' for the cast. remove @ffocus which follow that code string for a clean look.

6. Default speed is not sent to MUME, there is an odd convention there to CT CT which omits speed entirely, that could be changed to a 'd' switch. I don't think its important.

7. Further, default speed is assigned to @aknysp, if you change this variable name you would always cast 'cure critic' at the speed set by this spell. Then a 'd' switch might be useful for fast casting.

Finally, I'm sure this seems overly complicated. The conventions are the same ones you must use anyway, only combined into spell operation. You needn't use any options, as CT Frodo will always cure Frodo till you CT Bilbo. Just felt to share my system.

recap:

A. Batch replace upper case CT in script with your upper case alias name
B. Replace, 'cure critic' with whatever spell. eg. 'heal' (mind the mystical symbols)
C. For attack spells, make sure you don't have @target assigned elsewhere.

I discovered that gauge was teeny tiny. I did not really work on it's definition. This is mine during testing:

Here is all of the above. Included in the revision is a help alias with the conventions.

What follows is identical to the above post except here included is my alias for HARM which will mess you over with it's target being in the shared folder if you have a target in, say, the none folder.

this regex code can be used with the freeware NOTEPAD++

http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm

NOTEPAD++ just stripped my spell model format to alias name & spell name. Useful to me just now when I went to list what spells I had.

check regex in the replace dialog.
