Way to expand a variable in an alias declaration?
|
So I've got this variable -
NewSpeedwalk
and I want to add it to this alias -
#alias SW_@Area_@Mob {@NewSpeedwalk}
Is there a way to have the alias be the expanded value of @NewSpeedwalk? I've tried %eval and %expand...
Or is there another way to get a variable's contents in an alias, but not the variable name?
#alias %expand(SW_@Area_@Mob) {%prompt ("","Test")}
hits the same problem, doesn't "expand" the %prompt. |

I believe I saw something close to what you're describing in the zMUD Help. I can't seem to find it right now, but you may have better luck, use Search tool.

No go, doesn't expand the variable :(
Haven't found a solution in the helpfiles. |
