Quick alert question

Post by theafkxper » Fri Jun 20, 2003 3:19 am

im writing myself a script that i can leave on to tell me nameds in the zone on a regular basis, ill post it when im done, anyway, havign trouble with one aspect.
if i do something such as

Code: Select all

/alert add 1 The Diaku Overseer
in PoTactics it adds an alert for "the", which consequently bring sup about 20 "the sky"'s as well as the overseer. adding single or double quotes as in

Code: Select all

/alert add 1 "The Diaku Overseer"

or

Code: Select all

/alert add 1 'The Diaku Overseer'
do not seem to work any better, actually dont seem to be fielding any "catches"
my question is, is there a better way to do this? at the moment it is looking like im going to have to do it the first way and jsut scroll through the mobs.

Thanks for the help...

SOE changed the internal names from using spaces to using underscores.

Try The_Diaku_Overseer
