Hello,

i do not understand alias flags. how can i make alias both enabaled and using regular expression?

AddAlias(
'someName',
'the command',
'say testing',
1
)

1 will enable. how to add other flags?

i want to use this function so i do not have to add stuff in the xml format.

You add them together like this:


AddAlias(
'someName',
'the command',
'say testing',
1 + 128
)

For better documentation use the built-in names, eg.


AddAlias(
'someName',
'the command',
'say testing',
alias_flag.Enabled + alias_flag.RegularExpression
)

These are documented here:

AddAlias

The documentation for the AddAlias script function is available online. It is also in the MUSHclient help file.

Remember, if you are replacing an existing alias of the same name, use the "Replace" flags as well.
