Retry Failed Movements
|
In one area of the mud I play, sometimes when you are trying to move a direction, you get a message to the effect of "You are too scared to move that way!". What I would like to do is record the last direction I attempted to move, and retry that direction until it is successful.
In this area, it is possible to move all 8 cardinal directions. You can move by either typing the single char directions (n,s,e,w) or by typing the full name of the direction (north, south, etc).
Right now, I have accomplished this by creating an alias for all 8 dirs similar to this:
#AL {e} {#var move east,east}
to store the direction into the move variable and then actually move the direction I want to go.
Then I have a trigger:
#TRIGGER {^You are too scared to move that way!} {#SH %ansi( white, bold)TRIGGERED! --> GO!;@move}
to show me that the trigger fired and then attempt to move the same direction again.
Anyway, getting to my question...When using these triggers, I seem to have a bit of lag. Can anyone suggest a more efficient way of accomplishing this?
Secondly, would there be a way to speedwalk through this area? The "scared" messages appear randomly.
Thanks,
Elariel |
