If you want to give someone my location when they ask for it say in Communication Channel, I believe I'm on the right track but just missing a step.

[Channel:] Person name: Locates

So trigger pattern would be: (%w) Locates

In the command box for CmuD i put: channel I am standing here at: @room and @roomdirs

I have setup in variables: @room and @roomdirs
but not sure how to capture the data for the @room and @roomdirs variables.

FYI this is what a room looks like: Circular Courtyard [e].

This should "work" but someone with a higher paygrade may have a better option...
#TR {^&{room} ~[&{roomdirs}~]$} {}

I couldn't get it to work.
Basically what I trying to do is capture the room I standing in and the exit there.
And be able to tell them where I'm located

I'm willing to start from beginning if I can get it to work.

If CMUD is mapping for you, the variables you are looking for are already available. In particular, the %roomname() variable will return the name of your current room, and %roomexit() should return the list of exits.

No no using the mapper at all. Maybe that is the problem...
If not using the mapper how does one grab the info.

Thanks

You would have to ALIAS your mud 'look' command.

Then apply triggers against the room info. Something like...

#ALIAS clook {
#T+ clook_trig
}

#TR clook_trig {(room name pattern)} {
$roomname=%trim(%1)
#SEND shout 'I am in room $roomname'
#T- clook_trig
}

(%w) Locates <--- someone asking for location?

so it would be #TR {$(%w)%sLocates} {channel I am standing here at: @room and @roomdirs}

to capture room location:

look or whatever command shows the room information then...

#TR {(*)%s~[(%w)~].} {room=%1;roomdirs=%2}

this will capture the room info to those variables and then your "someone saying locates on "channel" line will send that info from the room capture trigger
