| I get a problem with function OnRepeat in the exampleScript.lua.
I don't know how to setup my alias.
This is what I got from the code:
1. Create a new alias with name:^#(\d+)\s+(.+)$
2. Enable Regulare Expression
3. Send to "Script Engine"
4. But what content to be sent in the "Send" field?
How to match the function OnRepeat and call OnRepeat correctly?
Thanks.
-- --------------------------------------------
-- Subroutine to be called to repeat a command.
--
-- Call from the alias: ^#(\d+)\s+(.+)$
-- Regular Expression: checked
--
-- Example of use: #10 give sword to Trispis
-- This would send "give sword to Trispis" 10 times
-- --------------------------------------------
function OnRepeat (name, line, wildcards)
local count = wildcards [1]
if not tonumber (count) then
Note ("Repeat count must be numeric, you entered ", count)
return
end
local i
for i = 1, count do
Send (wildcards [2])
end
end -- of OnRepeat

| In that example the code you posted was supposed to go into your script file, and the word "OnRepeat" would go into the Script box in the alias.
An alternative is to put the code into the Send box with a couple of modifications, like this:
<aliases>
<alias
match="^#(\d+)\s+(.+)$"
enabled="y"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>
local count = "%1"
if not tonumber (count) then
Note ("Repeat count must be numeric, you entered ", count)
return
end
for i = 1, count do
Send ("%2")
end
</send>
</alias>
</aliases>

| I don't catch the point of OnRepeat usage.
Let me explain what I understood and will to do like below.
1. I create an alias in alias edit dialog box.
2. Matched:^#(\d+)\s+(.+)$
3. Enabled Regular Expression
4. .... I don't know how to call the OnRepeat in the Lua script.
Should I call OnRepeat(?,?,?), what should be these 3 paramters?
I final purpose is to use it in command window like "zmud" style: #5 push table or #5 wow Jack.
Yes,I got the second solution you said by searching the forum.But I am interested in the OnRepeat function in the example script,and want to know how it works.
Can you explain it more for it?
Thanks. | top |

| You put "OnRepeat" in the "Script" box in the alias. I mentioned that above. I don't know how else to explain that. |

Then you don't need to do it yourself. There already is a plugin for that.

| I'v imported the repead_command plugin.
When I typed #3 kick sky in the command window,it got error with "Action code of C, O, L, or k not follow a speedwalk count(1-99)".
Can this Alias be input in command window directly?
Thanks. | top |

| It sounds like you have another script interfering. The plugin doesn't use Speedwalk.
Undo whatever else you did trying to get this to work besides loading the plugin. |

Go into world configuration -> Input -> Commands and uncheck "Speed Walking".
The default for the speed walk character is "#". |

| Thank you for your comment.
It works after speedwalking disabled. | top |
