is it possible to have an alias than can be used with and without a target?

mm * = cast 'magic missile' %1

when you use that alias you always need to type the target afterwards. what if youre already fighting and just want to type 'mm' without the target?

Try this on for size:

<aliases>
  <alias
   name="foobar"
   match="^\s*mm(?:\s+(.+))?\s*$"
   enabled="y"
   regexp="y"
   ignore_case="y"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>cast 'magic missile' %1</send>
  </alias>
</aliases>


mm test
-> cast 'magic missile' test

mm
-> cast 'magic missile'

Just copy the whole thing in the code box - from <aliases> to </aliases>, inclusive - and go to the Aliases dialog (the one with the list). Then click Paste at the bottom and it'll import the alias.

Template:pasting For advice on how to copy the above, and paste it into MUSHclient, please see Pasting XML.
