Thanks for your input, through that I was able to remove all excess variables.
Also, it is nice not having to type #chan in every string.

The only reason I split the lines is to make it fit better in the code display area.
I eliminated the else statement as I see it as redundant.
You could use an on INPUT event with a switch or %variable for the channel name
that could be settable.

You do not need and should NOT want global variables:
(global variables are harddrive reads/writes)

alias zombie {
 set %text $2- 
 set %text $replacex($2- ,%zkey,%zkey,a, uhh,b, ugh,c, erg,d, err,e, slop,f, omnomm,g, gop,h, goo,i, brains!!!,j, ommn,k, yumm,l, urg,m, ack,n, arg,o, arr,p, fom,q, fel,r, fue,s, fla,t, gah,u, oof,v, key,w, die,x, !!!,y, ???,z, !?!)
 msg $1 %text
}

You could eliminate the need to use #RoomName/$nick so all you have to
type is: /zombie message

alias zombie {
 msg $active $replacex($1- ,%zkey,%zkey,a, uhh,b, ugh,c, erg,d, err,e, slop,f, omnomm,g, gop,h, goo,i, brains!!!,j, ommn,k, yumm,l, urg,m, ack,n, arg,o, arr,p, fom,q, fel,r, fue,s, fla,t, gah,u, oof,v, key,w, die,x, !!!,y, ???,z, !?!)
}

saw the #funky text snippet, and how it uses on INPUT, but decided i didnt like it. as it checks every letter, and would then ignore they key, also it would blanket every channel. only difference i can see in my on TEXT and yours is that you split the lines. Should note, that this is/was fully functional since it was posted (it works)

I think you will need an on INPUT event to 'speak' zombie.
To understand zombie I think you may want something like this:

on ^*:TEXT:*:*: {
  var %text $strip($1-) 
  if %zkey isin %text {
    %text = $replacex(%text,!?!, z, ???, y, !!!, x, die, w, key, v, oof, $&
      u, gah, t, fla, s, fue, r, fel, q, fom, p, arr, o, arg, n, ack, m, $&
      urg, l, yumm, k, ommn, j, brains!!!, i, goo, h, gop, g, omnomm, f, $&
      slop, e, err, d, erg, c, ugh, b, uhh, a)
    echo -tbf $iif(#,$v1,$nick) $+(<,$nick,>) %text
    haltdef
  }
}

habit from scripting other langs with globals, yeah sorry, was (high) and for some reason thought it would be better if after I saw comments with notes/solutions, to remove them and add to changelog. It wasnt an intentional act against you guys :D

No one thinks they know any interesting 'zombie' words? (old movie refrences perhaps?)

why do you set
set %zkey grue!!!
outside of any event?

and deleted our comments>?

Haha
It Converts a string of words into 'zombie', except for a trigger you can put anywhere in the string, then sends the string. If it detects a string that has the trigger in it, it will automatically convert it back to 'human'

Ok.. I believe it.. I want a kilo of what you been smoking 'cause i can't figure out wtf this snippet is supposed to do... but then again.. that could be 'cause I'm high...

thanks! Tried to completely remove $text, but kinda tired atm, not to mention high...
not going to remove $decode, as its referenced 5 times, and is imho easier to use 1 variable instead of 5 Single changes (allows for quick key changing)
might add an input to set the 'key'

no need for vars in this, and you can place the whole thing into remotes instead of 2 different places. By adding alias in front of zombie ex:

alias zombie {

anyways funny snippet..
