Taking a quick look at the code, there's a problem: it assumes that the console is active and that the alias command came from it. If the command comes from somewhere else (e.g. a stuffcmd sent by the QC code), it won't work right.

In vanilla Quake, inputting "alias foo" without any other parameters is the default for erasing an alias, so the QC code can create an alias, use it, and erase it afterwards.

Console input should usually be taken care of in keys.c. Implementing this functionality in the Key_Console function would also allow you to activate it through the Tab key instead, which would preserve the user's ability to erase aliases from the console.

In the last 3 years (since i added this) with my mods stuffing alias commands, i havent seen ANY issues.
this code basically acts like normal;unless there is only 1 parameter, the alias name itself.

Can you get a realtime bug from this? I havent had any probs yet.


EDIT: i re-read your message. I m sorry i over looked the factr that alias apon empty alias erased such
as i use unalias for that. I dont know of mods that erase alias per alias.


It was merely for user input convenience, you can edit or dis for your needs.
