7.13 Aliases and Targeting

Starmourn has a basic internal system with which you can set aliases and targets that will be available to your character regardless of any client you use.

Aliases
-------
An alias is shorthand that you can specify to use in place of a lengthier command, making things quicker for typing. For example, instead of typing SHIP DISEMBARK you could make an alias DIS to type faster.

   SETALIAS            Create a new alias, or change an existing one.
   CLEARALIAS          Delete an alias.
   ALIASLIST           Display all your aliases.
   

Targeting
---------
Our targeting system allows you to define a simple variable which you can combine with an alias. To do this, use SETTARGET or ST. To combine it with an alias, you use the word TARGET.

   SETTARGET -or- ST    Specify a target

Putting it all together, this example will set up a way for you to go around punching mice.

   Create an alias:    SETALIAS PT punch target
   Define the target:  SETTARGET mouse
   Use the alias:      PT 
   Change the target:  SETTARGET bug
   Clear the target:   SETTARGET none
