| I've recently gotten back into MUSHclient since I've started playing Imperian again. Basically, I'd had some experience at VB scripting from the help of a fellow player but it's been so long that I've forgotten most if not all of it. I tried my hand at Lua recently because I was told it was easier but I got lost, so I've decided to attempt VBscript again.
So ANY help about VBscripting would be much appreciated.
2 things I have been working at currently (and yes I know they are extremely easy) are 1) a targetting variable with an attacking alias to go with it and 2) a trigger that follows my stance and an alias that acts differently according to that stance (5 different IF statements)
Ex:
Alias: Att
Action: If in stance A do this...
If in stance B do that...
etc, etc...
Thank you

| Have you read the FAQ? http://mushclient.com/faq
That covers targetting variables, and attacking aliases.

| Thank you for the attention and help.
However, they were both written in Lua and not VB. | | Top |

The FAQ point 21 describes a targetting alias. This does not use any scripting, and thus does not use Lua.

When doing simple stuff, Lua and VBscript are very similar. I would encourage you to stick with Lua, and if you have problems post the problem here. |

| I apologize, I misread.
I suppose I can attempt Lua. When I was reading some help files I was comprehending everything fine until the part when it told me to save my scripts in a script file and then use it as a function. | | Top |

| Try reading http://mushclient.com/scripting
You don't have to use a script file, a lot of scripting can be done inline by doing "send to script" in a trigger or alias. |

| Alright so this is my targetting alias that I got from the other link:
<aliases>
<alias
match="target *"
enabled="y"
variable="target"
send_to="9"
sequence="100"
>
<send>%1</send>
</alias>
</aliases>
I'm assuming because it's an alias, it goes in an alias, but when I put it in the script box and saved it, it didn't work.
And I'm sorry for my elementary knowledge of this subject :[ | | Top |

It doesn't go in an alias, it is an alias. For directions on how to use that XML code see this:

See the FAQ at http://mushclient.com/faq, point 32.
You need quotes around the %1. |

| So how can I put this variable into an alias.
Say t = MAN
dim t
world.send "attack (world.getvariable "t")"
Or something along those lines? | | Top |
