I am a long time ZMUD user. I have some basic questions that I have not been able to figure out in mushclient. First, the easy one which is a type of trigger I use. I use a lot of Echo's, but have not been able to figure out how to echo things in mushclient. an example is

#TRIGGER {You feel less tough.} {#ECHO ****RESIST DOWN!!!!!****}

When the mud sends me "You feel less tough." My client will echo
****Resist down!!!*****
on the following line.

The second, is the type of alias I use...

#ALIAS tt {#alias r {bearcharge %1};#alias t {ambush %1 onslaught};#alias p {dirt %1};#alias q {murder %1};#alias y {savage %1};#alias b {call 'beast call' %1};#alias x {c 'call lightning' %1};#alias v {call 'feral rage' %1};#alias de {dash east under %1};#alias dw {dash west under %1};#alias dn {dash north under %1};#alias ds {dash south under %1};#alias ht {hurl throat %1};#alias ch {choke %1}}

Basically, this particular alias creates about 10 other aliases when I use it. In example, when I type tt bear

it sets "r" to be bearcharge bear
"t" to be ambush bear onslaught" etc et al.

I'd really appreciate some help with this, as I want to give mushclient a whirl.

Trigger is simple. match string. convert to regular expression. send to output. put in send what you want sent to output

<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
match="^You feel less tough\.$"
regexp="y"
send_to="2"
sequence="100"
>
<send>***RESIST DOWN!!!***</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>

The alias is very simple too, because you don't need to redefine those aliases every time you change your target.

<aliases>
<alias
match="^\s*tt\s+(.+?)\s*$"
enabled="y"
regexp="y"
ignore_case="y"
send_to="10"
sequence="100"
variable="mytarget"
>
<send>%1</send>
</alias>

<aliases>
<alias
match="^\s*r\s*$"
enabled="y"
regexp="y"
expand_variables="y"
sequence="100"
>
<send>bearcharge @mytarget</send>
</alias>
</aliases>

EDIT: In short, the tt alias sets a variable with your target, and the r alias will use that variable in the attack. You can add both aliases at once easily by copying all the text from <aliases> to </aliases> with CTRL+C, then going to the Aliases dialog in MUSHclient and hitting the Paste button at the bottom. The two aliases should appear in the list.
