alias and trigger help
 
I have 3 questions I need help with please.

First one
I wanted to make an alias to look at a mob 10 times. example ll janitor or
ll lion then it would look at the janitor or lion 10 times. this is what i was given
for other programs but i get a syntax error trying to use it.
/alias {ll %1} {/10 look $1}

Question 2
my charecter has the spell True See which when cast on a player i can wee what room this player is standing in at the moment of spell cast. now if a clan member would like to see where a particular player is they have to ask me to true see them or ts them and i have to repond back. i would like to set up a trigger to automaticaly do this. example
[CLAN]: Bergil says, 'ts hellion'.
then i would automaticaly cast the spell c true hellion and get this

You utter the words, 'true seeing', and are drained of 50 mana.
You can make out an image of Hellion...
A Hallway in the Citadel
Your footsteps echo loudly on the flagstone floor. There is an ominous
silence here and from off in the distance you can hear quiet chanting.
It feels more like a temple then a citadel although there is still the
ever present guards.
Hellion is Lucifer's Next of Kin is resting here. (AFK) (invisible) (floating)
...he glows with a bright light!
now i would like to relay the whereabouts of this player back to clan member

clan You can make out an image of Hellion...
A Hallway in the Citadel
the rest of the info they dont have to know just the wearabouts.

3rd question
I have poked around in the setting but have yet to figuar out how to copy and past more than one line of test into window to say/tell/gos whatever it only shows the top line and top line only.

[INFO]<1034hp 935m 570mv 29en> c id hammer
You utter the words, 'identify', and are drained of 15 mana.
You feel informed:
Object: the Hammer of Forceful Persuasion Item type: Weapon
Item is: An Artifact
Weight: 14 Value: 14,400 Level: 28 Size: Universal
Damage Dice is: 5D9, for an average per-round damage of 25.0
Durability: 100% Condition: 97%
Can affect you as :
Affects: Hit Points by 12
Affects: Mana by 25
Affects: Damroll by 12
Affects: Hitroll by 12
Affects: Armor Class by -3

how would i copy and paste that in and have it show up to other player like i see it?
thank you for your time very very much!

For the first part of your question
#alias {ll %1} {#10 look %1}

Notice the look %1 uses a "%", not a "$"

As you've probably noticed, zMUD's special character assignments are different from wherever you are getting your scripts. I'd recommend you stick to places (like this forum) which deal with zMUD until you are sufficiently familiar with its syntax to make the conversions yourself. Getting scripts from places that are intended for other clients will only confuse you.

#AL ll {#10 look}
#TR {~[CLAN~] %w says, ~'ts (%w)} {#T+ truesight;cast true %1}
#CLASS truesight disable
#TR {You can make out an image of (%w)...$(*)} {clan %1 is at %2}
#CLASS 0


After you paste the text into the command line, go to the beginning of each line and add "say " or "tell " or "gos " or whatever other channel-name you choose.

lightbulb's absolutely right on the last part, but i'll tell you what i do for pasting multi line messages anyway. Hit ctrl-shift-enter to bring up the text editor. Paste your stuff. Type the prefix in the prefix box in the toolbar ("say ", "chat ", or similiar, make sure the trailing space is there, remove quotes :)), then just hit send. if its alot of text, there is even a nifty line delay function that will spread it out so you don't spam off the mud (Options|Preferences).
This is one of my favorite zmud features, so i thought i would share :)
