#alias and new UMC
 

So in an older version of UMC (1.14.3 I think) I could use a line to kill things based on variables such as this:

My $psychic variable is 0 for up and 1 for down. Therefore when I would type "kill centaur" it would output "psy centaur" to the mud if $psychic is 0. Likewise, "cast 'lightning' centaur" would be the output if $psychic was 1.


With the newer versions post what I had before (including the latest 1.15.8) this no longer works.

With the above code if $psychic was 0 it would output "psy $0" instead of "psy centaur"


I have tried the following with no success:
Any suggestions? Thank you in advance,

Try:
For each parentheses you have the variable embedded in, you'll need to add another $ to the beginning to read the outside variable in. It's a form of scoping.

Makes sense. Best thing is it worked too :)

Thanks.
