#alias command and aliases inchat

[Seiduna]

Hello eternal people,

 

I am interested in #alias command, in particular for inventory (ctrl i is just to streachy),

and can I combine them like:

#alias 1 #beam me #open_inventory #sto

Also, why can I not use aliases in chat

#alias 2 hello people how are you today?
@#2

like so, so you do not hacve to type, but have ready aliases...

 

Thank you

[Raz]

I think the #needs to be at the start of the line

so try #alias 2 @@6 hello channel 6

[bluap]

To open the inventory using an alias you could do:

#alias 1 #keypress #k_items

Then:

#1

 

You cannot currently combine multiple command in an alias but patches are always welcome. Perhaps the syntax and code of the command queue module could be reused.....

Hello Raz and thanks for reply,

this works:

#alias 1 @hello people

also, as Raz suggested, this works:

#alias 1 @@123456 hello people on 123456

some common phrases to bind as aliases,

#alias 1 Hello there people,
#alias 2 novac with bear daily
#alias 3 xaqueline with cactus

so I can use them in chat:

@ #1 today I got #2 and I already done #3

but sadly this does not work

but also for bot, this works:

#alias 5 /mercator about me

but I would really love this:

#alias 5 /mercator about

and than:

#5 Raz or #5 radu or #5 me ...

but sadly this does not work

 

or is there a way...?

 

thank you

 

 

 

EDIT:

 

bluap, I did not see your post, but it is most helpfull,
could I trouble you for a link or list of such text commands
that are not in el help (like quests, buddies,..)?

Try

 #alias 5 /mercator about $0

and use as

#5 Seiduna

(if you want more variables, use subsequent numbers like $1 $2 $3 ..., and don't forget to type values when using the alias)

[Seiduna]

#alias 5 /mercator about $0

Now we are talking revi, thank you!

 

 

so we can not combine two or more commands in one alias, yet,

but how about using aliases in chat?

#alias 11 @@56565 hy peeps, today I had dailies: $0 $1 $2
#alias 22 haidir rats
#alias 33 novac with bear daily
#alias 44 xaqueline with cactus

so:

#11 #22 #33 #44  <--- this does not work
#11 haidir_rats xaq_cactus novac_bear   <--- this works!!!

eg:

#alias 99 @@56565 hy peeps, this is me testing aliases in chat $0 this is original line $1 original line $2
#99 FIRST_INPUT SECOND THIRD

output:

[Ursha @ 56565]: hy peeps, this is me testing aliases in chat FIRST_INPUT this is original line SECOND original line THIRD

and commands:

#alias 2 #sto
#alias 22 $0
#22 #2   <--- this works
#22 #sto <--- this also works

but:

#alias 2 #sto
#alias 22 $0 $1
#22 #2 #ci <--- this only executes first command
#22 #sto #ci <--- this only executes first command

 

if I found out more I will post,

you are welcome too!

 

thank you

You cannot use aliases to execute multiple commands in a row

what you can do us use user menus to do that.

for your example

 

#alias 1 #beam me #open_inventory #sto

create a text file named

MyMenu.menu

inside your personal eternallands folder (under linux ~/.elc/main/) Windows ( %HOMEPATH%\Own Documents\Eternal Lands\main\)

 

Write in that file something like

Multiplecommands || #beam me || #keypress #k_items || #sto

About player ||/mercator about <player name>

...

 

#aliases are nice in combination with users Menu they rock .

[bluap]

The fill list of posible values for the #keypress command can be found in the client source code here.

yes yes, sorry for delayed response,
but I was making me a user menu, khaha,
I totally blame vinoveritas (sorry vv, joke)

So I use left hand on keyboard and right on mouse,
and I want to have more use of my left hand for quick acces,
but this user menu is great thing - althow I use my right hand for it...

bluap, thanks once again,
that link is most helpfull to me!

also on el-wiki I found this, also helped a lot:

ok, I got what I needed, thank you guys a bunch!!!

may Queen of Nature bless you all
