Aliases

Ok, I have a not-so-simple (to me) question. I just spent the last hour trying to figure out (with no luck) how to set an alias on MUSHclient so I can type...ohh..random example from a MUD..there is a pixie in the room and I have the skill fire breath. Ok, I know I want a variable that makes fb become fire breath @target and I can easilery set that but I can not set up the alias that makes it so I type tt pixie and then pixie becomes the @target field. Help! How do I make tt pixie target the pixie with any skills I then type? Oh! And just in case I said it stupidly, that tt field with change every time I type in tt again. So I can go from fighting a pixy to fighting a wolf by typing tt wolf and then fb would fire breath the wolf.

This should be in the Mushclient section, but anyway...

gives a good rundown. Of course, if you search the mushclient section for target (or target set variable) you'll get a rather large list of things to choose from for various situations.

Umm..that made no sense to me. I am a little dumb about computers. If it is not too much trouble, can you babytalk me though what I put and where to make it so I can tt an NPC to make it my target? Preferrably 'ok, cut and pase this to alias title: blah blah blah' :)

<aliases>
<alias
match="tt *"
enabled="y"
echo_alias="y"
variable="target"
send_to="9"
sequence="100"
>
<send>%1</send>
</alias>
</aliases>

that will set whatever you target to the "target" variable. Which you can then use in other aliases with 'expand variables'.

Ignore this post. The attackign is easy. Just punch set to 'punch @target'
