| Not sure quite where to post this, if this is the wrong spot, please move it to the correct area. Anyway, to my error.
I recently made an alias for withdraw/deposit on a mud I play, and sometimes when I'm chatting with people, I get strange errors: for example it errored on this and the message it gave is below that.
snet any good mobs with kame beside bardock and the prison guard?
Run-time error
World: Dragonball Evolution
Immediate execution
[string "Alias: "]:1: attempt to perform arithmetic on global 'kame' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
[string "Alias: "]:1: in main chunk
I know it's due to this particular alias because I disabled it and typed that it went through re-enabled and it didn't.
The alias(es) is as follows:
<aliases>
<alias
match="(with|dep) (.*?)b"
enabled="y"
expand_variables="y"
group="withdraw/deposit"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>Send ("%1 " .. (%2 * 10000000))</send>
</alias>
<alias
match="(with|dep) (.*?)m"
enabled="y"
expand_variables="y"
group="withdraw/deposit"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>Send ("%1 " .. (%2 * 1000000))</send>
</alias>
<alias
match="bid (.*?)m"
enabled="y"
expand_variables="y"
group="withdraw/deposit"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>Send ("bid " .. (%1 * 1000000))</send>
</alias>
</aliases>
Can anyone tell me how I can fix this random error, or how to better write an alias for this? | Top |

^^^^^^^^^^^
The line you sent matches the alias for withdraw/deposit. You need to make the alias more specific, such as making it match on, say, "!withdraw". Or you could test the wildcard 2 and see if it is a number.
Or maybe make the "with" part match the start of the line, eg.
Now it won't match "with" in the middle of a line.
And make it match numbers, and nothing after the "b" like this:

| Awesome, thanks for the reply! I will try both of your solutions to see if that makes it foolproof. | Top |
