Hi to all. I have an alias in Lua, and i couldn't figure this out.

<aliases>
<alias
match="^-arma -(.*)"
enabled="y"
expand_variables="y"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>new_1 = "%1";

wield = GetVariable("wield");
container = GetVariable("container");

if (new_1 == "nada") then
print("Changing to nothing")
else (wield ~= "nada")
Print("Removing: ", wield)
Send("remove " .. wield);
Send("put " .. wield .. " " .. container);
SetVariable("wield", "nada");
return;
end

if (wield != new_1) then
Print("Changing to: ", new_1)
else (wield != "nada")
Send("rem " .. wield);
Send("put " .. wield .. " " .. container);
Send("get " .. new_1 .. " " .. container);
Send("wield " .. new_1);
SetVariable("wield",new_1);
end

if (new_1 == wield) then
Print("Already using that!")
return;
end </send>
</alias>
</aliases>

It states:

Error number: 0
Event: Compile error
Description: [string "Alias: "]:9: syntax error near 'Print'
Called by: Immediate execution

I have one MushClient variable, wield, that is the variable egarding the weapon i'm wielding. When i type the alias, it goes to the can and graves the %1 that i typed in.

Shouldn't there be a space between print and the parentheses?

Hi. I've changed that and the error persists.

This is the error line (line 9):


else (wield ~= "nada")

That is not valid syntax. You mean "elseif" in this case. You also need a "then".


if (wield != new_1) then

That is C syntax. You need:


if (wield ~= new_1) then

Also while the MUSHclient functions (like Send) are capitalized, the Lua functions (like print) are not. Alternatively, use Note instead of print.

So, I made quite a few changes, resulting in this:


<aliases>
  <alias
   match="^-arma -(.*)"
   enabled="y"
   expand_variables="y"
   regexp="y"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>

new_1 = "%1";

wield = GetVariable("wield")
container = GetVariable("container")

if new_1 == "nada" then
  print("Changing to nothing")
elseif wield ~= "nada" then
  print("Removing: ", wield)
  Send("remove " .. wield)
  Send("put " .. wield .. " " .. container)
  SetVariable("wield", "nada")
  return;
end

if wield ~= new_1 then
  print("Changing to: ", new_1)
elseif wield ~= "nada" then
  Send("rem " .. wield)
  Send("put " .. wield .. " " .. container)
  Send("get " .. new_1 .. " " .. container)
  Send("wield " .. new_1);
  SetVariable("wield",new_1)
end

if new_1 == wield then
  print("Already using that!")
  return
end 
</send>
  </alias>
</aliases>

Please compare to your original. I suggest using indentation in future to make things clearer.

For advice on how to copy the above, and paste it into MUSHclient, please see Pasting XML.

I'm sorry for the late answer. I manage to put that to work, but have to take off some lines. Thank you Nick.
