Mudlet scripting problem

Drave

Alright, so i'm trying to learn Lua coding via mudlet and struggling quite a bit with it. I was very proficient with Zmud but this is a whole different thing. Anyway, I've got the basics of making aliases and whatnot but i'm struggling with one thing. My standard aliases are something along the lines of:

send("maul "..target)

But how is it that one would work with different, more complicated lines like the hydra arm clamp for example? The Achaea input needed is HYDRA ARMCLAMP <target> LEFT|RIGHT

I'm not sure how to code this so that there can be information inputted after the target variable such as the left/right. Any help would be appreciated. I'm so irritated!

Could make your alias pattern something like ^hc(l|r)$

if matches[2] == "l" then
    send("hydra armclamp "..target.." left")
else
    send("hydra armclamp "..target.." right")
end

Then you would type "hcl" to armclamp the targets left arm and "hcr" for the right arm.
