I am trying to do the following but this isn't an accetable format and wildcards(1) returns an error on nil.

The alias is : sanc*


if  %1 == nil  then
  Send("cast 'sactuary' name")
else
  Send("cast 'sactuary' %1")
end

wildcards[1]

wildcards is a table, not a function.

Also, it looks like you misspelled 'sanctuary'.

(and also 'acceptable', but that shouldn't affect your script. :) )

Also, what is name? Is that meant to be a variable?

It looks like you are using send-to-script in which case %1 will just be nothing if it doesn't match. So closer to what you want would be:


if  "%1" == ""  then
  Send("cast 'sanctuary' " .. name)
else
  Send("cast 'sanctuary' %1")
end


Assuming "name" is a Lua variable with the person's name in it. Otherwise:


  Send("cast 'sanctuary' " .. GetVariable ("name"))


Template:faq=32 Please read the MUSHclient FAQ - point 32.


Also this one is close to describing what you are doing:

Template:faq=50 Please read the MUSHclient FAQ - point 50.
