How do you alias a self.method?

[Kain Nobel]

Good day everybody!

I was just curious, because I try to do this and I get an error, but how do I alias a 'self.' method within a module? For instance...

module Optimize
  alias_method :kn_optimize_weapon_later, ptimize_weapon
  def self.optimize_weapon(*args)
    kn_optimize_weapon_later(*args)
    # ...
  end
end

Obviously I can always do it the standard way, but I get an error whenever I try to do it to 'self.' methods and I can't include 'self.' in the alias_method itself because it turns into a symbol and raises a syntax error.

Just have to trick the modules.

module Module
  class << self
    # Put your alias and method calls here
  end
end

That should do the trick.
