Hello

I'm a completely newbie in Lua, and i woud appreciate if someone could sumbit a code to make an alias for this:

[cast] {"haste", "sanctuary", "evil protection"}

where the spells should be into a table, i guess

The idea is when i execute the alias, automatically cast haste, then cast sanctuary, then cast 'evil protection'.
Note the simply quotes in 'evil protection.

Another example of what i'm lookin for :
[cast antifire] {"boots", "cap", "gloves"}

-------------------------------------
The other code i need it's one to antifire objects by the number of these. E.g:
(7) sanctuary potion

i would like to type: antif sanctuary 7

and the "alias" antif (cast antifire) should cast antifire to the 7 potions of sanctuary: 1.sanctuary, then 2.sanctuary... up to 7th potion

thank you so much for your answers!!!

The simple thing would be to make an alias that just sends multiple lines. Do you need more complexity? eg. Send:


cast haste
cast sanctuary
cast evil protection

Yes Nick. I actually use some variables containing several objects and spells (~30 each one), so i would like to invoke variables or tables from inside a code like:

Send("cast '@castingspell'")

...matching every contents of the table, thank you so much

Read up on Lua tables. Here's an example:


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

wanted = {"haste", "sanctuary", "evil protection"}

for k, v in ipairs (wanted) do
  Send ("cast ", v)
end -- for

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

Thank YOU!!! Nick.

Thanks to your hint, i've done this code by my self:

alias: antif (\w*) (\w*)
for i = 1, %2 do Send ("cast antif ",(i),".%1")
end -- for
(send to script)

now i type: antif sanctuary 2
and lua sends to world:
"cast antif 1.sanctuary
cast antif 2.sanctuary"

hehehe, thank you so much Nick!!! :-)
