speed menus
 
I am trying to figure out how to access a speed menu via scripting instead of using the mouse. The Highlight path speed menu from right-clicking on a room in the zmud map to be exact.

Here is a thread talking about it, but I am missing something because I can't figure it out (last post specifically):

Thanks in advance!

You can't access the right-click context menu with the #MENU command. I don't recall whether zMud allowed you to customize the menus or which menu contained the command you are asking about. If you can customize the menu and place that command somewhere then that is all you need. As shown in the post you referenced you can execute a menu item in the mapper window by doing #MENU {Mapper|Menu Name|Item Name}

That would work... any idea about how to do that?

That doesn't clear any old highlights Shalimar, I need something that will clear all highlights on the map (or at best highlight current room position and clear all the rest)

I'm not sure that can be done outside the mouse click event, maybe if we could simulate that somehow.

The "Highlight Room" command on the Mapper's Room menu (accessed by right-clicking on a room in the Automapper) acts as a selector, effectively de-selecting all other rooms.

In order to make it work, I had to add the menu option to one of the Mapper's available menus; in this case, I chose Actions. Then I created the following bit of code and added it to a macro:


I just don't know how they added it to the menu option, they didn't go into detail on that part.

#call %map.unselectall
will deselect all but the last room of the most recent path you highlighted

That gives me the error: You don't have zmapper plugin installed.

Back to the drawing board Exclamation

Ahhh, yes, apologies. I always assume people are using CMUD anymore.
Without it or zMapper, you cannot use the more advanced mapper functions.

In zMud with the mapper, you can always update the room your in with #find. I use it to trigger certain room updates such as stepping through PC created portals. It auto-loads the new room info as long as it's in my mapper.
