I have an alias

<aliases>
<alias
match="t *"
enabled="y"
sequence="100"
>
<send>track %1</send>
</alias>
</aliases>


It send allows me to track a creature. Without sending me to FAQ, I been there before asking.

How do I

turn %1 into a variable (trackie) to be used by triggers.

Then how do I get this trigger.

<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
match="Tracks to * lead *ward."
sequence="100"
>
<send>%2

track %1
</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>


to use that variable (trackie)




What happens in game is I type
t alchemist
It outputs
track alchemist
Tracks to Tisa the alchemist lead southward.
south

track Tisa the alchemist
Who?
It replaces my word alchemist with Tisa the alchemist

Anyway, this shows how to track someone and remember their name:



Look at the video for more information.

Downloaded all 6 of your youtube videos from search. Mushclient+LUA+Variables.

But truthfully haven't watched them just yet. But definitely plan on it.

Just got my connection speed back up today.

Hey thanks for answer and will try it out now. And thanks for response.

Love the video Nick !!!
It got me up and running perfectly.

Thank you so much for making it!!!
Whooo Hooo !!!

Ahh Here is the finished code for those who want it.


<aliases>
<alias
match="t *"
enabled="y"
variable="trackie"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>SetVariable("trackie","%1")
Send("track %1")</send>
</alias>
</aliases>

The above is for the alias

The below is for the trigger

<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
expand_variables="y"
match="Tracks to * lead *ward."
sequence="100"
>
<send>%2
