Ok peoples, here is what I am trying to do.
On the mud I play if I wish to open a door I have to type open door <<direction>> or if it is locked use key <<direction>> then open door <<direction>>. Since I use slow walk paths alot I used to have them broken into small paths. I would use them like this:
#alias goil {#sl 3w2s3e} and then have to manually open the door before typing the alias that does the next section.

Since I have now discovered #stop, I was wondering if there is a way to capture the last path direction?

I have tried %lastcom commands but they capture all my capture stuff from my prompt to gauges script.

I was thinking of creating a set a triggers with values like these ^N ^S etc but I am sure there is a much more effiecent way to accomplish this.

Any ideas?

%lastdir() is the function you want, i believe

use key %lastdir()
open door %lastdir()

but i don't use the mapper so this is just a hunch

I dont use the mapper either since I can never get it to do anything other than annoy me even with #tag, #map, #nomap, I have tried everything, I think the mapper is just there to infuriate us all.

And so back to the subject, because I am using #SL <<path>> and not the mapper, %lastdir doesnt work so any other ideas?

Create new directions that send the command to open a door:
#DIR fc "open door north"
#DIR cf "open door south"
#DIR xv "open door west"
#DIR vx "open door east"

Next, create triggers to send the #OK command when the door is opened. Example:
#TRIGGER {You open the door.} {#OK}

Now just use the new directions in your speedwalk:
#ALIAS goil {#SL 3w2s3ev3e2nfn2nw}

You could also have a trigger that fires on something that you know comes after the slowwalk sends the direction command and before your other triggers fire and do some processing and then use %lastcom to capture the direction.

Simply set the link on the map to be a door or locked door. In the map configuration under strings and doors you can set what text to send to handle doors. In that configuration item %1 is replaced with direction, and %2 door name.

Can't you include opening the door in the alias? #ALIAS goil {#SL 3w2s3e;open door north;#SL n3w4e}

No you cant use it like that. That will cause the alias to send w;open door north;n all at once. #sl doesn't suspend following commands until it completes, it just fires and if you have another command in the same alias that fires too. I WISH IT DID BUT IT DOESNT

Yeah, I noticed just before you posted. For some reason I thought it waited. Anyway, I edited the post above before your reply.
