Reinstallation of Plugins

Hi Everyone,

I'm very new to plugins and scripting. I have started using the plugin wizard to make my own from sets of triggers I made, and I am using a few that were made by other people who play my MUD.

I am trying to set something up so I can quickly reinstall all my plugins with an alias. Do I make a script file, or do I make a plugin with a script in it? If I make a plugin with a script in it, do I also need to make a script file? If I make a script file instead of a plugin, can I share it with others?

I would like to use the function GetPluginList to see what's installed and then ReloadPlugin them.

Sorry if this information is found elsewhere, I had trouble finding it.

I made a "reload plugin" alias:

That does one, but you could extend it to do more.

Also see this:

That describes a plugin that automatically loads all plugins in a subdirectory.

Wow, thank you so much, this worked flawlessly! Sorry I couldn't find that myself.
