| Okay, tell me if this is possible.
I'd like to have floating variables that different aliases can assess. For example, lets say that I have three attacks, kick, punch and jab.
I'd like to create a targetting variable:
alias: tt *
does: $target= %1
And then use other aliases using the target variable.
alias: k
does: kick $target
Is this possible? | | Top |

| It is possible. First the second, easy part. You can refer to a variable in an alias by preceding it by "@" provided you check the "Expand variables" box.
eg.
kick @target
To set the variable, you can make an alias to do that, however the alias needs to call a small script. eg.
alias: tt *
send: (nothing)
label: settarget
script: OnSetTarget
In the script file:
sub OnSetTarget (strName, strLine, aryWildcards)
world.setvariable "target", aryWildcards (1)
end sub
If you don't want to make a script, you can do it manually providing scripting is enabled. Just type:
/world.setvariable "target", "dragon"

I understand that script calls the Sub OnSetTarget script, but what does the label do? | | Top |

| The label gives the alias a name. It is required because the script routine gets the name passed to it. However the name is fairly arbitrary. I suggested recently to someone else they use the names to organise their trigger and aliases. eg. the name could just as well be:
label: alias_to_set_the_target_variable
That way you can browse through the labels in the alias window to see what each one does. |

| | Really? So any subroutine I write has to have at least (strName, strLine) as predeclared variables? | | Top |

| Not exactly. See Callback routines for details about the arguments you should use for each subroutine. |
