Try posting the alias so that we may look at it.

This is the code in the trigger.

#VAR DelMess 1
#WALK 112
#AL onwalkend {#NODIR 1;give %1 to bob;#UNAL onwalkend;#VAR DelMess 0}

Like I said, this worked fine in 7.04.

Thanks for any help.

Not just you Insomniac. My onwalkend alias stopped working as soon as I upgraded to 7.05 as well. Had to revert back to 7.04

Your "onwalkend" alias has four actions. Which of those four actions is it not performing?
You do the #WALK before you create the 'onwalkend' alias. Does switching the order make a difference?

#NODIR 1
According to the Command Wizard (not mentioned in the #NODIR help):
Parameter: Number, Optional. If 1, clear entire queue instead of just top direction.
This shouldn't be necessary. If you've reached the end of the walk, there shouldn't be a queue to clear. At most, it should have only the final direction, which moves you into the room where the walk ends, and since you're in that room you wouldn't want to remove that direction.

give %1 to bob
This apparently comes from the trigger, and %1 will be replaced by something from the trigger pattern.

#UNAL onwalkend
It may not make any difference, but I'd make this the last command if I was going to use it. While testing, I'd leave it out completely and delete the alias from the command line.

#VAR DelMess 0
Looks okay.

Since this script is from a trigger, the trigger pattern and samples of the text which triggers it would also be relevant.

Recommended:
TRIGGER
Pattern: Unknown
Value:
#VAR DelMess 1
#AL onwalkend {
give %1 to bob
#VAR DelMess 0
;#UNAL onwalkend
}
#WALK 112

Alright, it turns out onwalkend is broken. Here's a quote from Zugg, as posted on the Beta forum.

quote:
Anyway, yes, "onwalkend" seems to be broken. Perhaps one of the smart Gurus can find a work-around for this. After all, people lived without it for a long time before now. People should be highly *discouraged* from downgrading to anything prior to 7.03 since those versions had the huge resource leak that would eventually crash WinXP systems.
