Don't we all just love aliases? They rule! Anyway, I've tried to write an alias to equip my character when I log on. Most of the equipment is stored in closed chests or racks or in closed jars or wardrobes in the guild's storeroom.

What I wanted to do is an alias like this:

gc items

that gives the result:

open chest
get %items[0] from chest
get %items[1] from chest
get %items[2] from chest etc. until all the items in the array are retrieved...
close chest

This alias requires me to create an array, but I don't know how to write the parser or how I would have to create the syntax for the alias... I'd appreciate any help...

While an array would be a spiffy tool for your problem, I would rather use a string list. It's easier to fill and modify, at least in version 6.15.




#VAR gear {helm|gloves|tunic|cloak|necklace|amulet|visor|etc.}


#ALIAS gc {


   open chest


   #FORALL @gear {get %i chest; wear %i}


   close chest


   }

The #FORALL statement will step through each item in the string list @gear, placing each element in %i in turn.
