| Hi,
I copied this code in my script file:
sub SetTarget (sName, sLine, wildcards)
world.SetVariable "target", wildcards (1)
end sub
Now, when I try to reload the script file, I get the following error:
Error number: 0
Event: Compile error
Description: [string "Script file"]:1: `=' expected near `SetTarget'
Called by: Immediate execution
I must say that I have no clue about scripting. But this code was something that I was searching for. And so I enabled scripting in Mushclient and set my script file, but the file is empty except the code above which I copied.
What did I do wrong?
Thanks for your help

| You have set Lua as your script language (which is recommended), however that little bit of script is for Visual Basic (VBscript).
The Lua version would be:
function SetTarget (sName, sLine, wildcards)
world.SetVariable ("target", wildcards [1])
end -- function
However the easier thing is to "send to script" which means you don't need to use a script file at all.
To do that, use "send to script" and just do something like this:
<aliases>
<alias
match="target *"
enabled="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>SetVariable ("target", "%1")</send>
</alias>
</aliases>

| But, if all you want to do is set a variable, you don't need to script at all:
<aliases>
<alias
match="target *"
enabled="y"
variable="target"
send_to="9"
sequence="100"
>
<send>%1</send>
</alias>
</aliases>

| hi i have a problem with making a targeting alias. I looked at what you gave to other people and i thought i could just do that, but it seems like it didnt work. I tried
function SetTarget (sName, sLine, wildcards)
world.SetVariable ("target", wildcards [1])
end -- function
but it gave me an error when i was tryng to use the plugin to put this in.
Line 3: Expected '<', got "f" (content not permitted here) (problem in this file) is what it says
p.s i know nothing about scpriting or anything | | Top |

| | What you have there is a bit of script. Can you post the whole plugin? Taken out of context it is hard to see what is happening. |

| I think the issue is that he is using it as a plugin, and not as a script file. That is my take on the expected < but found f, message. Plugins expect XML, and scripts don't.
