You have a couple of typos:


PC_Equipment = "an eye of a Kraken ...


That should be:


PC_Equipments = "an eye of a Kraken ...



Also the final "send" should be "Send".

thank you it helped. I added a wait.time script to it


<aliases>
  <alias
   match="players_equipment"
   regexp="y"
   send_to="12"
   ignore_case="y"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>PC_Equipments = "an eye of a Kraken|a ring of wizardry|the ring of the serpent|the Overlord's necklace of protection|a holy symbol of Ithrilis|a set of overlord armor|the leggings of an elder dragon|a pair of golden-spurred boots|the lieutenant's gauntlets|a pair of green dragonscale sleeves|a battered iron shield|Yourban's soul|a spectral aura|the belt of the master craftsman|a magical belt pouch|a bracelet set with white moonstones|a bracelet of the elements|an Eldmarian Slayer"

require "wait"
wait.make (function ()
for PC_Equipment in string.gmatch (PC_Equipments, "%a+") do
  Send ("remove all.", PC_Equipment)
  wait.time(1)
  Send ("wear 'a pair of brass spectacles'")
  wait.time(1)
  Send ("wear ", PC_Equipment)
end -- forend -- for

Your splitting up of the string is a bit strange anyway. This seemed to work for me:


<aliases>
  <alias
   match="players_equipment"
   enabled="y"
   regexp="y"
   send_to="12"
   ignore_case="y"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>

PC_Equipments = "an eye of a Kraken|a ring of wizardry|the ring of the serpent|the Overlord's necklace of protection|a holy symbol of Ithrilis|a set of overlord armor|the leggings of an elder dragon|a pair of golden-spurred boots|the lieutenant's gauntlets|a pair of green dragonscale sleeves|a battered iron shield|Yourban's soul|a spectral aura|the belt of the master craftsman|a magical belt pouch|a bracelet set with white moonstones|a bracelet of the elements|an Eldmarian Slayer"

require "wait"
wait.make (function ()

Send ("remove all")

for k, v in ipairs (utils.split (PC_Equipments, "|")) do
  Send ("wear ", v)
  wait.time (1)
end -- for

end) -- function

</send>
  </alias>
</aliases>

A simpler approach is to not use a lengthy string in the first place. Like this:


<aliases>
  <alias
   match="players_equipment"
   enabled="y"
   regexp="y"
   send_to="12"
   ignore_case="y"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>

PC_Equipments = 
  {
  "an eye of a Kraken",
  "a ring of wizardry",
  "the ring of the serpent",
  "the Overlord's necklace of protection",
  "a holy symbol of Ithrilis",
  "a set of overlord armor",
  "the leggings of an elder dragon",
  "a pair of golden-spurred boots",
  "the lieutenant's gauntlets",
  "a pair of green dragonscale sleeves",
  "a battered iron shield",
  "Yourban's soul",
  "a spectral aura",
  "the belt of the master craftsman",
  "a magical belt pouch",
  "a bracelet set with white moonstones",
  "a bracelet of the elements",
  "an Eldmarian Slayer",
  }

require "wait"
wait.make (function ()

Send ("remove all")

for k, v in ipairs (PC_Equipments) do
  Send ("wear ", v)
  wait.time (1)
end -- for

end) -- function
</send>
  </alias>
</aliases>
