learn from my mistakes

[dont_know_at_all]

Don't do this:

Code: Select all

alias /f=/face fast nopredict

Apparent, aliases are resolved more than once in a macro. I ended up with a comand line like this:

/face fast nopredictace fast nopredictace fast nopredictace fast nopredictace fast nopredictace fast nopredictace fast nopredictace fast nopredictace fast nopredictace fast nopredictace fast nopredictace fast nopredictace heading 123

This was a bitch to debug, too.

Because of the way MQ parses... The alias /f will be parsed as /f again and again because of the alias having an /f in it. So it will look at the alias then parse it then look at what the alias does ie the face command and then parse the /f in it since MQ stops parsing as soon as it finds a match in the command lookup table. That is why your alias did strange stuff.;

Seen that happening with variables too, like for example having a variable called item and another called item2 since the name of the first one is the first substring of the second one the parser uses it as the first one.
