Hi, well explained. I’ve been playing alter for 8 years, and at high level, but I’ve never quite been able to get complicated aliases and variables in my brain properly, I keep mine simple, but they are still very useful things for repeat actions like crafting, job hunting and even high use spells/skills, there’s a lot of repetitive typing without them. 😊

If you wanted to specify specific arguments you could do that by using $1 $2 and so on. So, as an example, if you wanted to reverse the order of item and material when crafting from: forge create links iron to instead be fc iron links you could enter: alias set fc forge create $$2 $1 /done Note that this is generally a pointless alias. It's better not to do such things because there's an increased chance of confusion when interacting with others, though it serves as a decent example for illustrative purposes.

Also, thanks for explaining how to type commands that aren't combat or equipment related. I never thought of using an alias to do things like finding guild jobs. But one question: What is the 0 actually for? What argument would that replace in the jfg alias, for instance?

Use $0 to fill in arguments. Enter /done when finished and /help for instructions. So, for example, to type jfg <guild> for job find guild, do: alias set jfg job find guild $0 /done To delete an alias type unalias <alias> On 2/18/2025 16:03, Jude DaShiell via groups.io wrote: Try putting anything in that's not a word on the first line and the alias set command freaks out. I wanted to use jfg for job find guild and jfh for job find humter and jfp for job find priest and couldn't enter or save any of them. Do these aliases need saving in a .tin file outside of alteraeon proper? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
