O.P. [Suggestion] Aliases
At the moment i think we're only able to make aliases like /alias1 capable of saving a message, with a few functions like (!P). I would like to see in the near future, the ability to make aliases that are more like scripts (eg loops), a bit like how u can make aliases in mIRC. If that's already possible then sorry :)

Well, you can do several lines in aliases, being able this way to perform everal actions from an alias.

But I agree that it would be very interesting to have multi-parametric aliases and that it had at least a simple control-structured scripting-language. However, I can understand that's lots of work and Patchou may not want to do it like in mIRC.

But this sort of thing is supported by the plugin architecture.

Not everybody has the right tools/skill to be able to make a plugin for Plus! which is why i ask for a small scripting language to be implemented into the Plus! aliases

EDIT:
Even if it was a few new functions like (!R0,10) to take a random number from 0 to 10, or a loop function like (!L<condition>)<stuff to do>(!ENDL) where <condition> could be (!R0,10) and the loop would run through that many times. I'd be well happy with that :D

Take a look at the (forgotten by many, but still working*) VBScript plugin framework: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=20...d=193672#pid193672



* and may I add: one of the few plugins that kept on working thru all the Messenger Plus! plugin api changes (where many plugins stopped working)!!!!!!!
