BetterAlias

Table of Contents

Tired of entering tedious and repetitive commands? Wish you could group commands into one short and easy to use command?

With BetterAlias you can specify any number of aliases for your commands!

Features

Create aliases for long repetitive commands:

/permissions player setgroup <playerName> VIP

becomes

/vip <playerName>

Combine multiple commands into one simple command
Compatible with your existing permissions/plugin commands!
Supports partial player name lookups (ie "e0n" to find "Ne0nx3r0")

Installation

Add BetterAlias.jar to your plugins directory
Once loaded an aliases.yml file will be created
Customize the file and use /bareload to enable the changes.
Use the examples inside aliases.yml to setup aliases for everyone to use! (or add a custom permission node for the command)

Usage

See the examples page.

Spanish video tutorial

Multiple Commands

Separate multiple commands with dashes (-):

tpthenkick: 
    1: 
      - /tp !1p !name
      - /kick !1p

The examples file that comes with the plugin includes examples of every type

Is there a way to disable the message notifying a player he does not have permissions for an alias?

If I put an alias like "command reload" it doesn't like the word reload for the sub-command. I put "command restart" it works.

You can use spaces in commands if you use quotation marks. So your aliases.yml would look something like this:

"command off":

0: /command1

"command on":

0: /command2

Currently I don't think so. You could create an alias that executes two other aliases that have separate permissions, but this seems like a hacky solution.

I'll take a look at what it would take to update this plugin to accommodate some of these suggestions.

I'd bet good money your aliases file is messed up on that server. Try copying it from one of the identical ones that work or reviewing your YML file for spacing errors.

Thanks for creating one of the most useful plugins out there!

One question/possible suggestion:
Is there a way to set different outputs for a command, and the output is chosen based on the user's permissions?
For example:
The alias "/text" for a user with permission "node.one" replies "This is output 1!"
"/text" for a user with permission "node.two" replies "This is output 2!"

If I am confusing, or there is some other way to do this, please let me know. ;)
Thanks.

I have a suggestion:

If someone does /command on then do this Then if someone does /command off then do this?

Maybe !1[word] <- it looks the word for the first argument.

I just realized what's wrong; you need to put 0 for the one with !name. You aren't taking any parameters (1: means you expect one paramater).

Here's a pastebin that shows how to do your alias.

Thanks for your reply! !name does work... it gives me a "Unknown command. Type "Help" for help." and other commands in my config are working (at the same time as my other ones not working)... and the command I put in works if I swap it out with !1 and Seems like Im the only with this problem so Ill find a work around! Thanks for the Plugin! Justin

I'm not sure what to tell you except that !name does work (it is replaced with the command sender's username (or console)); you may need to check your event log for errors in your YML file.

I have a problem...

This works... with this command /pvip antares330

pvip: permission: vipprefix 1: - console /pex user !1 prefix &0[&1VIP&0]&f

This Doesnt with this command /pvip (this command should set your own prefix to VIP)

pvip: permission: vipprefix 1: - console /pex user !name prefix &0[&1VIP&0]&f

I think this might be because it tries and puts the name with the command without space... Any ideas on how to fix this would be great! Ant

I'm not sure what you mean about the first thing, but I can see about adding the other two.
