I'm attempting to make it so that certain commands/alias are entered in with 3 second intevals between each one.

Basically, I want to type one command (alias), and have this whole 29-line emoted thing come out, with three seconds inbetween each emote.

Unfortunately, I'm completely clueless; despite having read through a ridiculous amount of help files and posts.

I guess I understand that there needs to be a scripting program that includes the alias's for each thing.

So, From what I gathered, there needs to be something like this:

world.send "alias 1"
world.doafter 3, "alias 2"
world.doafter 6, "alias 3"

Somewhere in a notepad file somewhere.

? But I have no idea where to put it, how to group the alias together, and what screen to put it in.

I'm sorry for being so ignorant.
But I'm in desparate need of help!

You are on the right track. Make a single alias, and in the "send" area put your DoAfter commands (click on the "..." button to open a larger window to enter them).

eg.

send "line 1 of what you want to say"
doafter 3, "line 2 ..."
doafter 6, "line 3 ..."

... and so on.

Then select the combo box "send to script" to have the whole thing treated as a script command, and not sent directly to your world.

That worked perfectly!

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer -and- for explaining it so that I could understand it.
