Question - noob syntax question =\

[janktron]

what is the purpose of the "cleanname" syntax? i'm using the shitsbuilder mac for the first time and its making shits with this in them and I'm just trying to get a greater grasp so I can make more customized shits later down the line thanks all!!

The difference is how the name is displayed.

${Target.Name} returns - a_dog01
${Target.CleanName} returns - a dog


Usage would depend on what you are doing.... ${Target.Name} is more exact as each mob would have a different number. But it is a give away to use it in chat as that would not be a normal display.

oh ok..that makes a lot of sense as far as mobs go....

but alot of these shits are using ${Me.CleanName}....why would i want to use that instead of Me.ID? especially if these are just commands to cast spells and what not...ie nothing going into chat?

Habit...
Might depend on how the spell is being targeted. I usually do use ID for targeting spells, as it is more precise.
Post the shits in question and someone that actually uses shits might be able to answer more fully than I.

I believe in the past Me.Name return the same kind of input as Target.Name, but it seems that has either changed or my memory is bad.

Target.Id returns a number, target.CleanName returns the name.
