Mapper - Alternative moving methods
|
I have a problem concerning alternative methods of moving around and making the mapper recognize those...
Say for example my character has the ability to sneak around unseen and I use it by doing "sneak west", which in case it's successfull takes me one step west. If it's successfull, I get the message "You successfully sneak away from prying eyes", if I'm not successfull I get "Your concentration is corrupted and you are unable to sneak" (which means I'm still in the same room).
Notice that in neither of those message the direction in which I tried to/did sneak to gets mentioned so I will need to catch that direction from my input I guess...
Now what I'd like to do is quite simply (heh) make my position on the map move one step west if I was sneaking west successfuly, if I failed to sneak it should of course remain where it was.
One possible way I thought of was to create a sneak alias that takes the direction as an argument and then sends the proper sneak command to the MUD, which would get me around the problem that the messages do not include the sneaking direction.
The remaining problem for me is that I can't seem to be able to move my position on the map other than using the standard moving commands, configuring custom movement directions didn't work either for me since the rooms on the map are linked with the normal moving directions and I'd rather not create a separate exit for every single room (the map is pretty large with like 3000+ rooms in it)
...blablabla HELP ;) |

Somewhat related to this..
Is there a way to combine #MOVE or #MAP with path directions? Like, #move 4e4n4w4s?
I play on Aardwolf, and want to be able to use the nifty run command implemented there with my maps. So I figured I'd create an
#alias run {~run %1;#move %1}
.. cept it doesn't work. Is there a different command to do this? Did I miss something in the zMUD help files? Or doesn't one exist? |
