Shattered Kingdoms

I'm definitely not a noob and I should know this, but I seem to have forgotten how to create aliases with two word spells.

For instance, with faerie fire (shh, it's the only spell I have so far) I type

alias ff cast 'faerie fire' &

Expecting it to work. It doesn't.

Well? What am I doing wrong?

Maybe you should add these guidelines to the help file for the very rule-oriented people like myself.

alias XXX c "Spell name here" &*

So when you type XXX (target) you cast it on target. Or whoever your in melee

alias yyy c 'spell' &1 &2

I generally use this setting, and it works for distance as well.
so it covers
yyy ne human
AND
yyy human

After putting &* you can have as many input as you want.
With &1 + &1 you limit your inputs to 2.

alias mm c 'magic missile' &*

This would work for

mm target
mm e target
mm (when in melee)

Agh. I knew that. Thanks, guys.

I've always just used.

alias mm c 'magic missle' &1 &2

but using &* will work as well.

Or even better!

alias mm c 'magic missile' &1 &2;emote points out their finger and cries out, $4"Take that you scallywag!"

You should end all color changes with $A to prevent bleeeeeeding.

That'll get you helled, cursed, or worse if you use it too much. Your not suposed to put voices in emotes as it can be used to get around the language code.

That's partially true, except emotes are based off of the current language you are using, too. There is a chance it might come out as "incomprehensible gestures" if you cannot speak the language well.

Zuwadza is pretty much correct. The proper alias should be:

alias mm c 'magic missile' &1 &2;emote points out their finger and cries out.;say $4Take that you scallywag!

...or something more creative than that anyhow... *shrugs*

As about emotes going around the language code... Huh? Since when? I think you're talking bs here.
