Thread: Is there a /tell group command?

I'm looking for a way to send a /tell to all group members with a single command.
Is there a way to do this?
Well, if it's usually the same group of people you can set up an alias to send them all a tell with a simple command.
For example if you play with a group of Han, Luke, Chewie and Leia you would make an alias like this:
/alias tg /tell Han,Luke,Chewie,Leia
And then when you want to send them all a tell you would just type:
/tg The force will be with you... Always.
and it would send that message to everyone who's name is in the alias. Note that you can name the alias anything you want. I used tg to be short for tell group. Oh and make sure there are no spaces between the commas and the names when creating the alias.
*edit*
Also, I didn't mention that you only need to create the alias once and then it is stored on your computer and you can use it anytime.
You can also do this to make simple commands for multiple commands you use often. It works much like a macro. You could make one to heal your buddy Han while in combat that would clear your combat queue, target him and heal him and thenswitch back to whatever you had targetted beforehand with one simple command like this:
/alias hh /ui action clearCombatQueue;/target Han;/healDamage;/pause 1;/ui action cycleTargetPrev
Then you could simply type /hh in battle and it would heal him immediately even if you had a bunch of combat commands queued up and then go back to the target you were fighting.
