msg aliases

/alias test "msg 'Some-Person-Who-Is-On' Testing: Did you get this?"
/test

Does nothing. Even if the person's name is only 1 word long and you don't put it in quotes it still doesn't work. Is this as it should be a1k0n?

Well, kinda. It's Ray's fault. :P

Seriously, /msg isn't a real command, so it doesn't work in an alias. I'm not really sure why. Especially since /say _is_ a real command and does work in an alias.

(We can't bind operator commands for the same reason, or I'd probably be flying around with a hotkey to heal myself)

What about

/alias test "say /msg 'some-person' did you get this"

???


Shouldn't that work?
Oct 24, 2003 Durgia link
it should but it does not... it just says /msg 'some-person' test test in the main chat

maybe theres a space before /msg...

No, it doesn't work, though it probably should. Because, as I said, /msg isn't interpreted the same way as other commands.
