Simple Targeting Script Issue
|
Alright I've used the Script
Alias: t
Command: Target=%1
However, when I target say a rat ( t rat) and then type (dsl @target) it just says that there isn't one in the room. I may be doing something completely wrong as scripting isn't a strong feature of mine.
:) Any help is Appreciated
Thanks in Advance |

This will store the value in @target:
#ALIAS t {#var target %1}
Now you can target the rat using (t rat).
Assuming dsl is a command on your mud or another alias, the example you provided above will now work. (dsl @target) |

That still didn't work. It still says that it can't find the target. I tried just copying the script you wrote and entering it into the text prompt but nothing happened.
So i went into the alias tag and put T for alias and then for the command I put #var target %1 but it still said it can't find the target when I dsl it. |

what does it actually send?
If you type #show @target
Is it showing the correct thing? |

Ohh, Well when I type #show @target and I had targeted a Rat it does say "rat" So i guess it is working.
Why then when I type DSL @target would it say "Nothing can be seen here by that name." I've been using DSL RAT the whole time and it worked fine. Do I need to set something else to tell it what DSL is?
Thanks a Bunch you guys, I really appreciate it. |

Ahh I figured it out now. I had to create a seperate alias named DSL the command to be ~DSL @TARGET. Wouldn't have done it without you all, I appreciate all the help.

@variable in the command line isn't expanded unless the Expand Vars option is turned on in the General Preferences. To expand a variable in the command line you must surround it with angle brackets <>.
