Zugg Software :: View topic - moving around using path stored in a variable

Novice Joined: 03 Jan 2008 Posts: 48

I probably should've just posted this to begin with instead of spending all day hunting through everything, but I know I use to be able to store paths in string list variable and use them to walk where ever I wanted to go, basically making a speedwalk using a variable so I wouldn't have to keep everything mapped out. I've tried using #slow, #walk, and #step to get the path to execute, but it won't do so, I'm wondering if there is a specific reason why, or if perhaps I'm doing something wrong.

It sounds like you want:
#mark
#path pathsave

You can also use this if you want. I would suggest changing somethings like alias names and the #oninput trigger you may want to change into aliases. Also, the ok alias is useless. Can't guarantee it'll work without flaws..

That's actually way more complicated than what I was looking for. The scripts I use to use if I remember right used a command like #walk with a variable to move between rooms. It looked more like

Well this is what it sounds like you are asking for. When you use #mark, you start recording a path. When you use #path, you save that path to a path variable I think its called. You'll You should see a Paths button in the settings editor. (Ctrl+G, to get to the settings editor)

You have to use a path (path variable) with #slow and #step. That's probably the reason you are looking for, or what you are doing wrong. You are using a variable, not a path.

If you were really using stringlists, then I don't know. Maybe you were using %pop, or %item, and a stringlist in conjunction. Yeah, that could be it.

actually while testing a theory, I stumble across why things weren't working right, however, I also found that you can do something like this

I think you should post more information. specifically, what are these numbers you are talking about? Are they in your @path variable? (show what's in the @path variable)

It seems you are remembering what you did. So, good luck.

The numbers are stored in another variable. Basically what you would have would be something LIKE but NOT EXACTLY the following

Yeah, my big script i posted earlier uses the same idea; It stores the steps in another variable.
I think mcount should be just a number. You could pick a part my other posts to figure out how to move around.

Try this

Honestly I've tried #Path, #Step, #Slow, #Move, and #Walk. None of them have done anything at all, it just sits there, some I get a bad command echo, but that of course is what the testing is for :).

Your adjustment does work, very well in fact, the only problem I have now, is trying to figure out how to trigger the movement itself so its continuous and I don't have to manually put in next step every time I want to move

#path test {esesesese}
#slow test
#step

You probably want to use #mark and #path to make paths. And #slow, #step, #pause, #ok to move. #paths are not your standard variables. (Sounds like you are wanting the 'paths' made from #path)
I believe you type something like #slow test. Not #slow @test.
Do you have the help files that come with zMud? They usually cover enough about the commands, but I know with #slow the example given isn't enough.

I have all the help files yes, unfortunately in this situation they haven't been any help. The problem with #path is that it creates the path as you move which is not what I want to do, I want to move along the path that I've already stored in a variable, but I want to be able to do so slowly and continuously. Basically what I have to be able to do, is like my variable @testpath, I need to be able to move .s3w3en with enough time in between commands to pick something up if I see it laying there. The only thing that stops me from using the #Alarm function to do this, is that like I mentioned before, when I lag the commands end up continuously sent instead of pausing long enough for me to load the next room before continuing.

Sounds like you want #path test {wewe}
And this should work if you already have your paths stored in variables
#path test {%replace(@test,"|","")}

Otherwise, I think you need to make a script. You will need to keep track of the steps. You could make a trigger to figure NextStep. Or maybe you can use #loop.

Edit:
You don't have to walk around to use #path. Typing into the command line: #path test {wewe} will work.

I appreciate all your help, what I ended up with was something more like this:
