Is there a way of having a two line alias, were the last command you enter into the command line is placed in the 2nd line of the alias? Not very clear, but I hope you can understand

Example.

In my MUD, I need to wield something before throwing it, and I need to specify the direction.
I would like to use the alias td to wield and throw Dagger, so td n would throw the dagger north:

td n
wield dagger
throw dagger north

td u
wield dagger
throw dagger up

etc

The only way I can think of doing this is to have an alias for each directional throw possibilty, which seems a little much to me.

Anyone have any ideas?

I can think of a way to add the direction my target went to a varible, but that requires me to see them leave, which means I can't use it to sneak up on people..

Thanks

does N also equal north in your mud? if so the easyest way to do it is...

make alias TD

wield dagger
throw dagger %1

If it HAS to output THROW DAGGER NORTH (rather then throw dagger n) you can do it this way.

make alias TD

wield dagger
#if (%1 = n) {throw dagger north}
#if (%1 = ne) {throw dagger northeast}
and so on

hope thats what you want

If you want the single line, command-line equivalent of the above, rather than going through the config screen, I believe it would look something like:

#alias td {wield dagger;#if (%1 = n) {throw dagger north}; #if (%1 = u) {throw dagger up} }

with additional #ifs as required.

I've always found creating multiple-command aliases, triggers, etc. to be simpler using the full interface, though.

#ALIAS throw {wield %1;~throw %1 %2}

>throw dagger north
wield dagger
throw dagger north

wouldnt that cause a infinite loop private? command = alias =BOOM!
