Aliasing Question

[Icedmetal57]

Hi, I've been trying lately to alias a particular type of method but didn't know the exact syntax for it, so basically all I've been doing is guessing. I need help aliasing a method like so...

def example=(n)
  @n = n
end

I wasn't sure of how I would alias something like that. I've tried these different ways, but wasn't right, obviously, I wouldn't be posting this if they were.

alias old_example example
def example=(n)
  old_example=(n)
  @n = n
end

alias old_example example
def example=(n)
  old_example(n)
  @n = n
end

If done this way, then I believe that the argument can't be adding to or subtracting from the original code, at least from what I understand.

alias old_example example
def example=(n)
  old_example = n
  @n = n
end

  def example=(n)
    @n = n
  end
  
  alias old_example example=
  def example=(n)
    old_example(n)
    @n = n
  end

  def example=(n)
    @n = n
  end
  
  alias old_example= example=
  def example=(n)
    self.old_example = n
    @n = n
  end

This is the right syntax:

alias old_example example
def example=(n)
  old_example=(n)
  @n = n
end

but then you'd have:

 def example=(n)
@n = n
@n = n
end

Doen't make much sene, but then I don't know what you're trying to do.

Thanks guys, and Zeriab was right, as for that, it was just an example I wanted to know this so I could alias the exp= method in Game_Actor.
