Is there anyway to change it during runtime with a verb or sumthing?

Yea
mob/verb/Change_Command_Text()
       var/ct = input("What do you want to change the command text to?","Client Command Text",client.command_text) as null|text
       if(ct)
              client.command_text = ct

loading Untitled.dme
loading macro.dms
actions.dm:130:= :warning: assignment of procedural properties takes place at compile-time. Move this to the top of the procedure to avoid this warning.
loading 1.dmp
saving Untitled.dmb (DEBUG mode)

...maybe the .alt or say thing can only be assigned at compile time

mob/verb/Change_Command_Text()
    switch(alert("What do you want your command text to be?",,"alt","Say","Cancel"))
        if("alt")
            src.client.command_text = ".alt "
        if("Say")
            src.client.command_text = "Say "
        if("Cancel")
            return

Yes it does. Before I put it there, I compiled it and it works.

Well, yes it does change the variable, but it doesnt change what button is depressed.
