So I basically know how slow walk works, and my script will run it fine about 60% of the time. but sometimes it fails and some random point along the path, showing a somewhat wrong path behind (adds extra dirs that it shouldnt) but the path ahead is just deleted (says none)

When I #stop a path, it doesn't empty the path ahead, so I don't think it's a stop command.

Also, once I saw it throw a down when I'm certain there are no downs in the path.

I've gone over my code and haven't found anything obvious, though since it's not a stop I have no idea what it could be. are there finicky things with slow walk? I set the timeout time to 0 (or infinity) is there something that it needs to see to recognize a successful walk and increment the path? if so how do I access that?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I've experienced both flakiness and I've reported on bugs that I've found with the slow walker. It's always been a bit of a challenge for me to work with.

More info:

The path behind is incorrectly stated as double what it should be (ex. path goes 2n3e4n, path behind ends up being 4n6e8n)

I suppose I could implement my own slow walk, but it seems like this is exactly what I'm trying to get =/

How are you initiating the slow walk? And what version of cmud are you using?

I'm initiating the slow walk like this:

#sl slowpath

where slowpath is a path

I'm running 2.37, it's prompting me to download a beta, but I was figuring I'm not nerdy enough to go for betas

So, I'm trying to reimplement slowwalk so I can control everything, the problem I'm running into is I'm trying to make it able to use the '.3n2w3n' syntax for 1 step.

dirlist = .3n|w|n|e|n
dirindex = 1

then I just run:

%item(@dirlist, @dirindex)
#add dirindex 1

but the problem I have is it sends '.3n' to the mud, instead of expanding it. how can I get it to expand it as normal?

thanks in advance!

alternatively, if you can figure out why my slow walks are being flaky, that'd work well too!
