| I'm long-time Wintin.Net user but starting to port stuff over to MUSHClient.
I read through FAQ and some tutorials, and even a YouTube video. But coming from a tintin syntax and C#, MUSH is taking some time to get used to.
I'm setting up basic drink/food variables for my hungry/thirsty triggers.
I used to have an alias like
#alias {setdrink} {#var {drink} {%%0}}
That would set my drink variable.
I tried something similar in MUSH and using VBScript as the scripting language. But it doesn't seem to work, I've tried a number of variations of the below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
<aliases>
<alias
match="setdrink"
enabled="y"
expand_variables="y"
send_to="10"
sequence="100"
>
<send>/SetVariable "drink", "%1"</send>
</alias>
</aliases>

| Well I think I got a basic version working with VBScript.
<aliases>
<alias
match="setdrink*"
enabled="y"
expand_variables="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>world.SetVariable "drink", "%1"</send>
</alias>
</aliases>
But now my question is, how do I tell if an argument is provided or not to the alias? |

Quote:
world.SetVariable "drink", "%1"
That looks like VBscript to me. If you are using Lua it would be:
SetVariable ("drink", "%1")
You can also use "send to variable" for something simple like that. |
