| I'm sure this is something simple, but is there a way to get MUSH to parse aliases BEFORE it passes the text to the MUD?
For example, I'm trying to create an alias for Aard, so I can use "r <reply>" to reply to a tell. The problem is, for Aard, "r" is a shortcut for remove.
Every time I type my command, it errors because it's trying to remove whatever piece of equipment would be closest to the message I'm trying to send, instead of parsing the command to my alias.

| | That's usually how aliases work: if an alias matches, it stops the input from being sent. Do you have any other aliases that might be matching it and sending it manually, with "keep evaluating" enabled? |

| When I was starting to copy/paste it in here, I figured out what was wrong. I'd forgotten to make it "r *", so it wasn't picking it up because there were words after it.
I feel like an idiot. | | Top |

| | No worries, we're all idiots sometimes. :) It's a common mistake. |
