| I have made a video showing how to make a targetting alias. This covers a lot of the material in the Making Aliases part of the forum.
http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=8084
It can be watched at: How to make a targeting alias in MUSHclient. An imbedded copy is below on this page.
Constructive comments are welcome, for example is it too fast, too slow, not enough detail, and so on.

| Wow, this was great Nick! It was like being in a classroom with the teacher right there looking over your shoulder helping you along. I'm a very visual learner, and while the original post had screen shots this was much easier to follow and actually see the immediate results.
I also watched the plugin video. Again, excellent. I found them just the right speed to follow. I haven't yet created my own plugin but I did learn from this video to be careful with existing aliases/triggers/etc and to get rid of them if they aren't necessary for the specific plugin (I guarantee I would have left them in and posted "Why is this...")
I hope there will be more. There's lots of tips and tricks I'm sure you can teach us. :) |

| Thank you for the supportive comments. Glad you liked it.
Just for the record, the aliases used in the tutorial appear below:
<aliases>
<alias
match="t *"
enabled="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>
SetVariable ("target", "%1")
ColourNote ("white", "blue", "Target is now: %1")
SetStatus ("Target: %1")
</send>
</alias>
<alias
match="k"
enabled="y"
expand_variables="y"
sequence="100"
>
<send>kill @target</send>
</alias>
<alias
match="p"
enabled="y"
expand_variables="y"
sequence="100"
>
<send>punch @target</send>
</alias>
<alias
match="bs"
enabled="y"
expand_variables="y"
sequence="100"
>
<send>backstab @target</send>
</alias>
</aliases>
 |
For advice on how to copy the above, and paste it into MUSHclient, please see Pasting XML.

| | These videos are a great idea. I think they'll make learning to use MUSHclient much easier for new users. | | Top |

| I've added CC to the targetting video - it is pretty time-consuming to do, but at least I have learnt a new trick ... how to closed caption my own video.
In case anyone is wondering, I had to make a file with the timecode on it, what the caption line is, and a blank line, once every few seconds, like this:
00:00:00.00
I'm going to show today how to make a targeting alias
00:00:03.63
which lets you target mobs in MUSHclient
00:00:06.86
and that lets you just type in the name once to target them
00:00:10.86
and then do other actions such as kicking them, punching them
00:00:14.83
without having to type their name all the time
00:00:17.38
like, for example, "minotaur" is a fairly lengthy name to have to type
00:00:22.66
on every command
Supposedly it gets translated into other languages automatically, it would be interesting to hear if it comes out reasonably, or as complete gibberish.
[EDIT] The video has been moved to Vimeo which does not currently support closed-captioning.
