CMud

[Ashrabia]

Hi guys... I know Cmud and Zmud are pretty much the same thing... anywas... here is my problem...
I have an alias named 'Listen'. The Alias works fine does everything i want. however... i can't use the EMOTE Listen <person>. Easy solution... change the alias name... however, i am stubborn. The reason why, i play another Mud and i have the same or similiar issue and instead of typing the 'alias' as it is... I can put a <space> in front of the aliase name and then it does the EMOTE.
like this:
listen (does the alias)
<space>listen (does the emote)

what i mean to ask, how do i fix it from one mud to the other... It is a question of little significance, but has been bothering me greatly.

The way I would do it is to check after 'listen' if there is a word, thus detecting if it is an emote try or not.

Alias:

listen

Value:

#if (%null(%1)) {*regular 'listen' alias here*} {~listen %1}

Note the ~ in front of listen, you really -don't- want to loop cmud continuously like I did on accident just now.
