Hey all. Im going to start trying to program an encrypter to keep some meddling gods from seeing what me and my group talk about. An immortal kinda gave away what society we were of and we're supposed to be secret.. so I thought wouldnt it be neat to create an encrypter, but make it look like a language by only mixing vowels up, then mixing up the consonents(geez been a while since i spelled that) since those dont really matter. I need a little help to start off,

I was looking at the help, and I think what I need is the %replace function. Basically I suppose me and anyone who wants to recieve these messages needs a trigger key to activate it, i can do that, what i need help with is the %replace function.

From what I see, there are only three values in replace, and I dont see how it would do the entire alphabet. Could anyone take the time to either tell me what function to use besides replace? or perhaps how to use replace to make it work?

And if you're a real gogetter, the entire thing would be cool! j/k

thanks

There are several examples of what you're looking for in the completed scripts forum.

I browsed after I posted and found something like a stutter script, I may try to do that, just not sure how to get it to format right.
anyways, i'll try to see what i can do and post it, I did find one that did this exactly but it looked so long and complicated that I didnt really want to mess up my settings with it, and someone had replied that it didnt work.

Ok.. can anyone tell me why this doesnt work

#ALIAS soce {#va talk %1;soc Skarlg.. %subchar( @talk, @decode, @encode)}

Only seems to capture one word after the soce... how do I get it to capture multiple words?

Still doesnt work Vijilante. It only will garble one word and not multiple words.

Ok.. not sure why the above doesnt work, but this works...

#ONINPUT {^soce (*)} {soc Skarlg.. %subchar( %expand( "%1"), @decode, @encode)}

I dont see any onoutput function to decode it... is there one?

%-1 captures all the paramaters

right. Ok well I tried that, doesnt work. Might want to bug it. You cant capture multiple words in an alias. Me and a friend tried it. The only solution was to do what I did above. and I got the decode working so dont even worry about that.

The @talk variable is unnecessary.
#ALIAS soce {soc Skarlg.. %subchar( "%-1", @decode, @encode)}
