Is it possibe to have triggers add to a variable? Let me explain. On my mud, there is this changing area that changes the way you can navigate it every day. If you stand still too long or make a bad step - you die. Now I got a script that can navigate it. Only - the script is a bit risky since it takes one step at a time in there. What I do to make it safer is to get an expendable newbie to navigate in there, then I write down where he went, get my highbie out and use the spams the newbie provided. What I want to do, is to have an alias that starts logging the newbies movement to another alias via triggers.
Ex: the navigator sends
north
*dosomestuff*
east
*dosomestuff*
up
*dosomestuff*

Now I use an alias to set up triggers to react to the words "north" "east" and "up", and add these directions to an alias:

#al spam1 {north;east;up;....etc.}

In other words I want to record into an alias where I've moved, and be able to spam it afterwards. Is this possible?

You can do anything in zMud - that's the beauty!

Can you use the mapper for this?

No? Try this. (I hope this is what you mean?)

We need a Variable to keep the stuff in.
#VAR PathKeeper {}

We need a Trigger to do it.
#TRIGGER {Catch the stuff with a (%w) in it somewhere so we can pass the direction to our variable} {#VAR PathKeeper %additem(%1, @PathKeeper)}

And, we need some way to see what we've got.
#ALIAS ShowMePath {#ECHO @PathKeeper}

Or you could make it a bit pretty like this
#ALIAS ShowMePrettyPath {#ECHO ** Start List;#FORALL @PathKeeper {#SHOW %1};ECHO ** End List}

Note: We need to use %additem instead of #ADDITEM because the latter doesn't create duplicates.

I think that's all you need.

Stay JOLLY!

can you use %1 in place of %i when in a loop?

Wouldn't be a loop then anymore, would it

You don't HAVE to have %i for the loop to loop. However, without it (I'm guessing), I don't think you could automatically cycle through the items of your #forall variable.
