quick simple question
|
okie, this is a pretty basic question. On the older Zmud when creating a targeting trigger it was something along the lines of an alias named 't' command @t = %1 but that hasn't worked for me in the new version. I'm not a scripting genius like most of you guys :P Thanks,

#variable target {}
Now you can do "target=something" from the command line or within code. Probably rather awkward to use, though. Try this:
#alias target {target=%1}

ok, i'm a simpleton i'm sorry, but could you give me the complete command for the targeting action, like would the #alias target {target=%1} go in the alias command line? and if so, what would my command be to make the action against the target? >whatever< @t? or @%?
Thanks again,
Dan |

At the command line, type:
#alias target {target=%1}
Once you've done that, set your targets by typing target, then the name of the target (one word only). This should also be typed at the command line.
target ogre

Sure:
#alias t {target=%1}
It's as simple as that. |

I absolutely hate short alias names like "t". Not only are they meaningless, but I invariably end up typoing them all the time. Thus, I use one-word names that tell me in an instant what it does. Either that, or I find a #TRIGGER/mouse-based way to accomplish the same thing.
