I'm helping my friend make an alias so when they speak its different than the usual thing, but I'm having a bit of trouble... Its currently:

#ALIAS say {:says in a crisp, Illianer accent, '%1'}

It's mostly working, like when you type say hello it sends :says in a crisp, Illianer accent, 'hello'
But it doesnt work with anything more than one word. If I do say whats up it sends :says in a crisp, Illianer accent, 'whats' up

I tried:

#ALIAS say * {:says in a crisp, Illianer accent, '%1'}

But that didnt work. Like that, when I did say hi it sent say hi... I know this is possible, I've done it before, I just cant remember how...

#ALIAS say {~:says in a crisp, Illianer accent, '%-1'}

Hi

Instead of an alias you could use #ONINPUT.

#ONINPUT {'(?)(%w)(*)$} {#SUB {~:says in a crisp, Illianer accent, '%upper(%1)%2%3'}} "" {notrig}

You'll need to start your tells with a single quote instead of Say.

Yes, there's a way to make it capitalize the beginning -- the SHIFT key.

#ALIAS say {~:says in a crisp, Illianer accent, '%upper( %left, "%1", 1)%right( "%-1", 1)'}

This may create problems with handling punctuation and special characters that didn't exist in the original version. The first solution is preferred.

There's no reason to use #ONINPUT. #ALIAS is easier to use because it was designed for making user-defined commands.
