Alias command

From ThresholdRPG Wiki

The alias system in Threshold RPG allows players to add up to 50 aliases on top of the global aliases that are already available.

Usage

alias - View current aliases.

alias <verb> <command> - Set <verb> to execute <command>.

alias <alias> - List the current setting of <alias>.

unalias <alias> - Remove <alias> from the alias list.

alias -clear - Clear all your aliases.

Substitution variables

$# - Where # is the number of the word after the verb to substitute.

$* - Will be substituted with everything after the verb.

Prefixing the alias verb with a $ allows you to set up a verb that does not require a space after it similar to how ' works for say.

Alias Examples

alias bc bury corpse - This allows you to type bc to bury a corpse

alias th threshold $* - This allows you to use th for threshold channel

alias $\ trivia $* - This allows you to use \ for the trivia channel without having to type a space.

    You type: \Hello!
    Result: Yourname [trivia] Hello!

alias bob tell bob $* - This allows you to use bob to send tells to a player named Bob.

alias pb put $1 in bag - With this alias, the first word you type after pb will be what you try to put in a bag.

    You type: pb dagger
    Result: put dagger in bag

Special Note

Keep in mind that a large list of aliases means it requires more system resources for *every* command you type (whether aliased or not). In other words, use aliases to help you out, but don't use them frivolously.
