An alias is another "name" used to define a certain action. Aliases are
used to make MUDDing easier and faster, by decreasing the amount of
typing that you need to do.
For example, if you were to type: alias kr kill rabbit
You could now enter 'kr' and the game would automatically enter 'kill rabbit'
instead.
Alias can be used for any type of activity. Here are some examples:
- alias ps cast 'protective shield'
- Now when you type 'ps', it will instead enter 'cast protective shield'.
- alias mm cast 'magic missile' rabbit
- Now when you type 'mm', it will instead enter 'cast 'magic missile' rabbit'.
Typing 'alias' with no argument will show your currently defined aliases.
The best way to understand 'alias' is to simply test it yourself!
