in my auto-target setup i an alias

Alias: target *
Send:
Enabled: checked
All other options: unchecked
Label: Target_Alias
Script: OnAliasTarget

and in my script file

sub OnAliasTarget (thename, theoutput, thewildcards)
world.setvariable "target", thewildcards (1)
world.note "Victim set to " & thewildcards (1)
end sub


and another alias

Alias: b
Send: backstab @target
Enabled: checked
Expand variables: checked
All other options: unchecked


when i type "target man"
it should send the message "Victim set to man"
but it does not
when i type "b" it should backstab man, but i get a popup
box that says variable target not defined

why doesn't it work?

I tried what you did and it worked OK.

Your problem with the second alias is that the first one didn't work and set the variable, why I don't know.

Do you have scripting enabled, and the appropriate script file in the "Script file" box in the scripting configuration tab?

Also, be cautious when typing in the alias that you don't slip in an extra, unnoticed, space.

For example, this won't work:


target *(space)


or


target(space)(space)*
