	Aliases are simply convenient shortcuts you can make for more complex in-game actions. They are often used during in-game combat to perform actions more quickly. Aliases can also be combined with certain changeable elements (known as [[3.~~0_variables~~\|variables]]) to make even more versatile shortcuts.

	Tip: You can use @line to send the original command along with the aliased commands - this is useful if you want to perform additional actions when sending a particular command, instead of replacing it.

	To break down this alias: In the first "talk" alias, we set a local variable named "talk_counter" that increments by 1 every time we talk. Depending on the value of that variable, we choose a different style of talking to send to the client, like ANGRILY or HAPPILY. (These are used with the Achaea adverb system) The labels direct the If blocks based on the "talk_counter" value. After reaching the final If result, the script simply continues to the next line without going to a label, setting "talk_counter" back to 0 to restart the loop. Note the use of the "Stop" command to prevent the script from continuing after reaching the end of a specific label.

			Also note that the alias uses "Begins with" in the matching section and "Include prefix and suffix" in the "send a command" actions.

	~~In this second alias, we set two local variables and change the alias to "sayto", enabling us to address the specific scenario of speaking directly to a person, rather than general speaking~~.

	The first selected action is "send a command", which sends the text "south" to the game as if you typed it into the command line. Next, there's the "wait for" action, which sets up a temporary trigger that waits for the phrase "There is a door in the way."
