i have been looking for a command or function where i can query the map database to find the room im looking for and walk there, i have found it one time before but sense then i have not been able to locate it, or is there already a simple script out there to walk to rooms on the map?

I believe you're looking for %mapquery and #WALK

i got mapquery from the help file and when i tired #SHOW %mapquery(%concat("Zoneid=",%zonenum," AND Name='name of room'")) it did not work

i also thought there was somethere that outputted the speedwalk to the room

To find the name, you need to use "[Name]" rather than "Name", because Name is a special word in the map database system.

i actually think its a bug with the current version because [Name] does not work either unless i am doing something wrong, as i said i just copy/pasted that from the help file

It has worked just fine for me on v. 3.xx, though I can't test it here from work.

i figured it out it does not take wildcard expressions the name has to be the complete name sorry for the confusion

Yes, "=" only works if it is an _exact_ text match.

If you want a LIKE match, then use: "[Name] LIKE '%part of name%'"
This will match if "part of name" appears anywhere in the Name.
