/target + /alert when name is longer than 1 word

[Nerfy]

Couldn't find anything similar in the forums. I've gotten /target to work like so:

Code: Select all

/target npc "a hill giant"

but when I try and set that up in an alert:

Code: Select all

/alert clear 1 
/alert add 1 npc "a hill giant"

and then reference that alert in a target command:

Code: Select all

/target alert 1

it returns an error that reads:

There are no " around here

Here's the thing. I know that if I set up the above alert with a single word ("giant") then all will work fine. And I know that if I try and set it up without the quotes, it will only see the first word ("a"). If I didn't use any quotes then it would return the error:

There are no a around here

So my guess is that it's seeing that quoted string as just the first quote - and actually looking for a ".

My question boils down to this: How can I be specific about the mob that I want to hunt while using alerts? Any help would be appreciated. Hell, I'd even be fine with a flame that points to some off topic post in another section for an answer =).

I have the same problem with my hunter script. I think its a bug with alert lists but I aint sure.
