ok, i know this is somewhere here, but i can't find it. This is what i have right now: 

<aliases>
  <alias
   match="tdart *"
   enabled="y"
   expand_variables="y"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>twinshot @npc %1</send>
  </alias>
</aliases>


is there a way to make this work, when the * might not be there? the * is replacing a direction, btw.

ok, looks like i need some help here. i have an alias that helps me preserve toxins, and this is what i have:

<aliases>
  <alias
   match="preserve"
   enabled="y"
   expand_variables="y"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="1"
  >
  <send>if getvariable ("toxinstorage") = ("0") then
world.send "preserve toxin in vial"
world.SetVariable "toxinstorage", "1"
end if
if getvariable ("toxinstorage") = ("1") then
world.send "preserve toxin in vial"
world.SetVariable "toxinstorage", "2"
end if
if getvariable ("toxinstorage") = ("2") then
world.send "preserve toxin in vial"
world.send "drop vial"
world.SetVariable "toxinstorage", "0"
end if</send>
  </alias>
</aliases>


although i have this, it sends

preserve toxin in vial
preserve toxin in vial
preserve toxin in vial
drop vial

each time it is used. did i mess something up in the function?

Well, yes.

You start off like this:


if getvariable ("toxinstorage") = ("0") then
  world.send "preserve toxin in vial"
  world.SetVariable "toxinstorage", "1"
end if


So now the variable "toxinstorage" is 1.

Then immediately afterwards you test if it is 1 (which it is, now):


if getvariable ("toxinstorage") = ("1") then
  world.send "preserve toxin in vial"
  world.SetVariable "toxinstorage", "2"
end if


So you do that as well. Then you set the variable to 2. Then you test if it is 2 (which it is now). You need to use "else" to stop all the ifs succeeding at once.

One way would be to use "expand variables" as that is done at the start (by which I mean, once the variables are expanded, they don't change during the running of the script). Something like this:


if @toxinstorage = 0 then
  Send "preserve toxin in vial"
  SetVariable "toxinstorage", "1"
end if

if @toxinstorage = 1 then
  Send "preserve toxin in vial"
  SetVariable "toxinstorage", "2"
end if

if @toxinstorage = 2 then
  Send "preserve toxin in vial"
  Send "drop vial"
  SetVariable "toxinstorage", "0"
end if

ok, i have a problem. i just recently made the alias bf, which does this (Sorry for the length):

<aliases>
  <alias
   match="bf"
   enabled="y"
   expand_variables="y"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>if getvariable ("stance") = ("Gyanis") and getvariable ("surge") = ("off") then
if @stance = Gyanis and @surge = off then
world.execute "change stance vae-sant"
end if
if getvariable ("stance") = ("Vae-Sant") and getvariable ("surge") = ("off") then
world.send "sitara butterfly @npc"
world.send "trip @npc"
world.send "pindown @npc"
end if
if getvariable ("stance") = ("Rizet") and getvariable ("surge") = ("off") then
world.send "sitara butterfly @npc"
world.send "trip @npc"
world.send "pindown @npc"
end if
if getvariable ("stance") = ("Laesan") and getvariable ("surge") = ("off") then
world.send "sitara butterfly @npc"
world.send "trip @npc"
world.send "pindown @npc"
end if
if getvariable ("stance") = ("Ein-Fasit") and getvariable ("surge") = ("off") then
world.send "sitara butterfly @npc"
world.send "Trip @npc"
world.send "pindown @npc"
end if
if getvariable ("stance") = ("Gyanis") and getvariable ("surge") = ("on") then
world.execute "change stance vae-sant"
end if
if getvariable ("stance") = ("Vae-Sant") and getvariable ("surge") = ("on") then
world.send "sitara butterfly @npc"
world.send "trip @npc"
world.send "pindown @npc"
world.send "mindumb @npc"
end if
if getvariable ("stance") = ("Rizet") and getvariable ("surge") = ("on") then
world.send "sitara butterfly @npc"
world.send "trip @npc"
world.send "pindown @npc"
world.send "mindumb @npc"
end if
if getvariable ("stance") = ("Laesan") and getvariable ("surge") = ("on") then
world.send "sitara butterfly @npc"
world.send "trip @npc"
world.send "pindown @npc"
world.send "mindumb @npc"
end if
if getvariable ("stance") = ("Ein-Fasit") and getvariable ("surge") = ("on") then
world.send "sitara butterfly @npc"
world.send "trip @npc"
world.send "pindown @npc"
world.send "mindumb @npc"
End if</send>
  </alias>
</aliases>


now, when i try to fire it, it gives me this:

Script error
World: imperian
Execution of line 51 column 7
Immediate execution
Expected 'End'
Line in error:
end if

even though i don't have anything in column 7 line 51 (last line, the column after the 'f' in if), no spaces, nothing.

I bet you this isn't what you wanted:

if @stance = Gyanis and @surge = off then


It'll treat Gyanis and off as VBscript variables, not string values. Also, @stance's value will be unquoted. Did you mean:

if "@stance" = "Gyanis" and "@surge" = "off" then



EDIT: Also, you have these lines as the first two lines:

if getvariable ("stance") = ("Gyanis") and getvariable ("surge") = ("off") then
if @stance = Gyanis and @surge = off then


I don't see a matching 'end if' for the first one. Methinks one of those is redundant. If you -did- mean to do that - even though the intent of the checks are exactly the same - add another "end if" to the end of the script (or wherever it's supposed to go).

ok, this time, i am trying to highlight a line that comes in with a group like this:

      Oramashi - Victory Circle               (590) - City of Antioch.
          Rait - Kinsarmar Crossroads         (103) - City of Kinsarmar.
          Ramm - The Mounted Cephyreid      (15186) - Ithaquan Council.


how would iget the Rait - Kinsarmar crossroads line highlighted, with 'Rait' as a wildcard?

oh, and the area before the names is just empty space.
