[3.06pro]Window redirection seems not to be working correctly
|
| Code: |
<alias name="ShowChannel" id="27">
<value>:History:#clr
#forall @{Channel$chan} {:History:%i}</value>
<arglist>$chan</arglist>
</alias>
|
Window redirection via an alias and a named parameter seems to not be working correctly. This alias evaluates properly (%i in the forall is populated with the correct item from the correct stringlist variable), but the information is sent to the main window as a command sent to the game rather than to the specified window. This behavior does not seem to be evident in aliases that rely on %1...%99 instead of named parameters.
EDIT: Found a new way to do it via #WINDOW and %expandlist that doesn't cause problems, but I'm still not sure why the above acts so goofy. Back to the manual, I guess...
Another thing I noticed was that the two alias options (Auto append and Parse arguments) seem to have the same tooltip/status bar text in the Package Editor. |

You can only use : on the command line. Use #execwin elsewhere. And I think the status bar thing is a known issue.

I use the : method in MXP send commands as well, without issue.

As Fang mentioned, using #execwin is preferred for newer scripts. The :window: method was only intended to be used on the command line.

'Preferred' was never even mentioned, i was debating the 'can only be used on the command line' statement, but that is quibbling semantics...
