Problem - WTF? Script confusing 2 spells with similar names. (1 Viewer)

[Yaguex]

I have 2 Lua scripts running:

1. An offensive script, which casts Touch of Mujaki (a lifetap) on the mob.
2. A defensive, which casts Touch of Death (a pet heal) when my pet goes low on HPs.

You will notice the similar name.

Well, I have observed many times how the defensive script casts Touch of Mujaki (not Touch of Death) onto the pet, which obviously is wrong.

I have triple confirmed that each script has the correct spell names, and I got both spells are memorized.

Is there any known issues when two memorized spells have similar names?

You need double quotes around the spell name or it will only look for the first word:

mq.cmdf('/cast "%s"', mq.TLO.Spell(spell).RankName())

some spells actually have the same name also. I know pallys have one or two one from the 80s and one around 110.

if a spell has a space in the name, it needs to be in quotes, or the cast command thinks only to look for the first word in the name and thne it just matches what ever has that part as first in the spellname

you can either use the gem number or spell id to cast with, and get around that behavior.
