I'm looking to capture whatever I specify to bash.

So my alias looks like...

#alias {bash} {#va bashtarget %1;bas %1}

I.e. it sets @bashtarget as the word after bash (I'd type bash troll) and then sends out 'bas troll'

However, when I'm in combat and type bash, it gives me
Variable: mob troll

Which is annoying.

I did think to get around it with -

#if %1="" {bas} {bas %1}

But that didn't work, how do I test if something is empty like this?

Sorry about the double post. Some kind of cache problem in Mozilla made me think it had rejected my first one.

You have to put parenthesis around the expression for #IF.

#AL bash {#IF (%1="") {bas} {#VAR bashtarget %1;bas %1}}

If you don't actually use the variable for anything then you don't need the alias.

I need the variable so that if my auto rebash set is on then when the mob stands up (it grabs (*) is sent sprawling... it sends another bash, generally I'm engaged on that mob, but sometimes I could be fighting a room full of mobs, and only trying to bash say a cleric and not particularly worried about the warriors reescuing me off the cleric.

Incidentally, what you suggested unfortunatly does not work.

#if (%1="") {bas} {bas %1}
Returns
Variable: mob mercenary
(mercenary was the last mob that I bashed with an arguement)
It's always send the command 'bas' to the MUD, but it's just annoying to get the cyan warning thing, I have cyan warnings appear for certain events in combat, which are intended to make me wake up and read what's going on because something important has happened.

Nothing posted so far explains why variable 'mob' is having defined issues Wink

You can also use something like:

#ALIAS bash {#IF (%numParam() > 0) {bash %1;#VAR bashtarget %1} {bash @bashtarget}}
