Strange Crash

Dec 11, 2004 gamejunky link
I used these commands:

##>>
/alias Say_EnemyHere "msg Painkiller %target% Is Chasing Me In My Current Location"
/bind \ Say_EnemyHere
##>>

I had a Marshal as my targe to test it, it worked. Painkiller got the message. But then i un-targeted the Marshal and hit \ and the game crashed.

Also, I tried "say_guild %target% bla bla" And it did not work as I hoped. It just showed %target% instead of my actual target name. Would be nice if I could get the desired effect for this. Thanks.

It isn't supposed to work. The %target% variable can't be used in a message (to an individual, channel, guild, w/e). If it worked in the msg, that's a bug.

So the fact that it worked with the message was a bug? Wierd.. I think the fact that the game crashed is a little more important than being able to use %target% how ever i feel :D

say_guild and msg work differently. The fact that %target% worked in msg is the same reason it crashed when you didn't have anything targeted. I'll make it not crash.
