Shooting Reflex

Kresslack

For some reason that evades me, my shooting reflexes for archery have partially stopped working. I have an alias for aiming in a direction, and a trigger to fire off a successful aim. Only the aiming is working for some reason.

How do I correct this?

Alias:

Trigger:

Archaeon

So there's no matches[2] in the trigger.  If you want to keep it like that, set a variable to your shootdir, and use that.  For instance, your trigger should be
send("shoot "..t.." "..shootdir[dir])

and on your alias you should have 
dir = matches[2]

Ah, ok, I'll give that a try soon as I can. Thank you.

Is there a reason you are converting the direction into long form?

Oh, because I think I repurposed this from my ship turning alias, which I use the conversion to actually say the direction I'm turning when commanding the ship (for immersion).

Archaeon's isn't gonna work since shootDir is local to the alias.

1) Add shootingDir = shootDir[matches[2]]
   shootingDir = matches[2] would work as well

2) Then change the trigger to do send("shoot "..t.." "..shootingDir)

yeah i skipped over the local.  But in any case, my suggestion would be to drop the direction altogether, and don't aim.
