Hello I am a total zMUD retard, and I was thinking on how to do something like this which I remember used to work.

like typing target monster then I would only have to type swing and it would automatically swing at the thing i targetted then I could type target monster4 and then type kick and it would automatically kick the thing I targetted if you get what i'm saying.

If anyone could give me a detailed explanation on how do to this it would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, first thing you would need to do is put the target name into a variable. So, we'll make an alias for that. Go to the settings editor make a new alias:

NAME: target

VALUE: #VAR target %-1

Then hit save. The alias you just made will set your target. IE, typing "target monster4" would put "monster4" in the target variable.

Now, for swing or kick. To do things to this targetted monster, you need to make a couple more aliases:

NAME: swing

VALUE: ~swing @target

With this, whenever you type "swing" it will send to the mud "swing monstername", monstername being the monster you last targetted. If you want to make it a bit more complex you can do something like:

NAME: swing

VALUE: #IF (%null(%1)) {~swing @target} {~swing %-1}

This makes it so that if you hit "swing" it will swing at your target, but if you type "swing something" it will send "swing something" rather than "swing targetmonster something".

You can do the exact same thing for kick and any other attacks by following the above pattern. I hope this was detailed and clear enough for you Smile
