I know using ".(unlock door;open door)n" works no problem... however this is for a script to loop through an area killing mobs til the end then retracing path back to area entrance (and I Do Not use the mapper, this mud has proven difficult to use it with any accuracy... at least for me.) It's just easier for me to map the path I wish to take and use it in a stringlist to then %pop. Using a "Obvious exits" trig to enable another trigger to add mobs to a @klist... then my ktrig or the previous 'Obvious exits" will #IF (%numitems(@klist) > 0) {%pop(areaPath)}

the Issue I am having is there are 4 steps to access the full zone for maximum exp gains...
step_one : search shelves;get gloves
step_two: get key;drop gloves
step_three: unlock door;open door;drop key;w;get key
step_four: unlock door;open door;drop key

these steps are not possible to do while in combat so I have them in the areaPath and I have tried to use (), <>, {}, #exec step (they are aliases but I also tried as full commands

You can get combat at ANY point of the above path?

If so then you are testing for NO combat at every step. Obviously an onEnter room event. Wait for a suitable time then test for ongoing combat before stepping on.

However (Shalimar may know more) if you are not using the mapper then I doubt an onEnter event is ever going to fire? Unless you get some feedback from the MUD how on earth do you know if you have actually moved from one room to another, mapper or not?

I doubt any Mudder on any mud advocates no map at all. My map has 35000 rooms and none of them have a description. Just cannot get a satisfactory config for name, desc and exits. But at least I have a working map.

By the way, for testing, try changing the %pop(areaPath) to something that will print out the %pop item. #SH %pop(areaPath) then you can see exactly what is being captured in each %pop

ok I figured I failed to fully explain how my uhm 'bot' functions and I'm far from a programmer/coder so I could and most likely am going about this completely wrong.

So I have a DBVar with a master list of all areas I will step/loop, an alias that will then turn on a set group of triggers and 'copy' from the master list to a temp var aka @areaPath stringlist for room movement. BotTrig, autoKill and a 3rd trig (based on the area to turn all triggers for botting off, and clears the temp areaPath of any residual rooms via %null)

BotTrig

After digging around and sleeping on this for a few days... I think I solved the issue.

trying to expand or force #exec from the string list with %pop() is still sending the commands to the mud and not parsing them through cmud.

so I edited the %pop(botLoop) to be #EXEC {%pop(botLoop)} this way if it's an alias or just a string of commands in a single field of the string list it should get parsed through cmud.

I hope...
