Alias for a Playername?
|
Is there a way to build an alias for a hard to spell player name? I can't seem to figure out how and google fu isn't helping me.
Thanks in advance |

You could use the tab completion feature for this, so long as it has appeared on the screen, just spell the start of it and hit tab.
Some games have a game side nickname feature you could use for this as well.
The closest thing to that in CMUD would be variables (and functions).
#HELP #VARIABLE to read the instructions for it.
But that would likely be awkward. |

Tab completion will work I think, didn't know it existed. Thanks for the reply.

Another way to handle it is through the #SUB command
You could make a trigger for his name, and #sub to the nickname.....etc...
OR
Some muds have sub built in as a command...
'sub hdm harddumbname'
tell hdm hi dude |
