Message
Version: 4.84

I just had a general question about triggers/aliases.

1. How would I add a 'comment' to an alias, preferably one that doesn't go to output/the mud. For example.
--
alias name: quaff
body:
//comment: This alias gets a potion from your backpack and
drinks it. (this would be seen only when editting
the alias)

get potion from backpack
drink potion

--
Obviously I wouldn't actually use a comment like that for something so trivial. But if this could be left within the alias itself for when I go back to edit it and/or if I could have a message added to output (me) not the world.. So using the above example:
--
alias name: quaff
body:
//comment: This alias gets a potion from your backpack and
drinks it. (this would be seen only when editting
the alias)

(sent to world:)
get potion from backpack
drink potion

//output, not sent to world.: Hey, Silencher. Remember to check your supply of potions so you don't run out!

send to script instead of to world and then use Send("stuff to send to the world here") to send stuff to the world. Everything else will be code and can be commented or Note()ed as necessary.

Like this:


<aliases>
  <alias
   match="quaff"
   enabled="y"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>

-- This alias gets a potion from your backpack and drinks it. 

Send ("get potion from backpack")
Send ("drink potion")

Note ("Watch your potions don't run out!")

</send>
  </alias>
</aliases>
