Currently when I press the KEY2 button I move south. I want to be able to toggle between this set up and another. I also need to know how to create a new setup. For example; my mud allows party creation and movement. If I press KEY2 I want to send "party move south". When I'm not in a party I want to be able to revert back to KEY2 moves me south.

Thank you.

Move your current movement macros to a class and then create new party macros in another class. Once you've got it set up you can turn each class on/off as requried.

Something like this:
#CLASS {NormalMove}
#CLASS {PartyMove}
#KEY KEY2 {S} "NormalMove"
#KEY KEY2 {party move south} "PartyMove"
#alias partymove {#T+ PartyMove;#T- NormalMove}
#alias normalmove {#T- PartyMove;#T+ NormalMove}

Ok, I have set this up. How do I execute the PartyMove?

use the aliases - partymove turns on partymove and off normalmove, and vice versa...

#T+ turns a class of triggers on

I have always been a fan of using a button for toggling such things as that, they are easy to click and conviently display what the current state is.

#BUTTON 1 {Move: %if(%trigger(PartyMove),Party,Normal)} {#IF (%trigger(PartyMove)) {#T- PartyMove;#T+ NormalMove} {#T- NormalMove;#T+ PartyMove}} {} {} {} {} {} {Size} {70} {23} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} "" {} {} {}

Drevarr's script contains two aliases, partymove and normalmove, with the appropriate #T+ and #T- commands to switch between the two modes. All you have to do is type "partymove" when you want to switch to the party commands, and "normalmove" when you leave the party. Ton's button does the same thing, you'll probably find it even easier.

Since you failed to recognize fairly basic commands, I expect you'll need the other directions, besides south, too. You can just cut-and-paste this entire script into zMUD at the command line, either as a block or line-by-line. If you use line-by-line, note that the entire button script is one line, even though it takes several lines here because of wordwrap.

Since the "normal" movement macros should already be in your settings, I've chosen not to repeat them.

#CLASS PartyMove {disable}
#KEY KEY1 {party move sw}
#KEY KEY2 {party move s}
#KEY KEY3 {party move se}
#KEY KEY4 {party move w}
#KEY KEY6 {party move e}
#KEY KEY7 {party move nw}
#KEY KEY8 {party move n}
#KEY KEY9 {party move ne}
#KEY SUB {party move d}
#KEY ADD {party move u}
#CLASS 0
#T- PartyMove;#T+ Keypad;#T+ KeypadDiag
#AL partymove {#T- Keypad;#T- KeypadDiag;#T+ PartyMove}
#AL normalmove {#T- PartyMove;#T+ Keypad;#T+ KeypadDiag}
#BUTTON 1 {Move: %if(%trigger(PartyMove),Party,Normal)} {#IF (%trigger(PartyMove)) {#T- PartyMove;#T+ Keypad;#T+ KeypadDiag} {#T- Keypad;#T- KeypadDiag;#T+ PartyMove}} {} {} {} {} {} {Size} {70} {23} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} "" {} {} {}

There is another alternative

Make macros for Ctrl-KEY2, etc.

That way you move yourself using the normal keys, and move the party using Ctrl-key.

You can even combine the two methods and have a button that swaps the primary movement method from party to self, but still have the other available on-key.
