| What does this error mean...?
Expected ')'
Line in error:
world.doAfterSpecial(4,"setVariable("flagAction","false");",12);
I tried using \ on the setVariable marks, but... no good. | | Top |

| Looks like you need to escape the inner quotes, like so:
world.doAfterSpecial(4,"setVariable(\"flagAction\",\"false\");",12);
Is that what you meant about putting a \ in front of the marks? Could you show exactly what you did? |

That's my exact code. Variables are expanded... and it's a regular expression alias with ^sla$ as the command.
It sends to Script. | | Top |

| The problem here is that in "send to script", MUSHclient expands out backslashed sequences itself, before passing the text to the script engine. Thus you have to double-escape it. This worked for me:
world.setVariable("flagAction","true");
world.send("shatter left arm @x");
world.doAfterSpecial(4,"setVariable(\\"flagAction\\",\\"false\\");",12);
