How would you do this. If I type e to go east and kill a mob. Is there a way it will remember that east when I type withdraw to flee from battle.
I would want to make the alias called withdraw. I would type this:

e
k mob
withdraw(and it sends to the mud flee e)

is there anyway to do that?

#ONINPUT {^(%t)$} {#VAR lastdir %1}

Now whenever you enter a direction, the variable @lastdir contains the most recent direction entered.

And the alias, after putting in what Kjata gave you:

#ALIAS withdraw {flee @lastdir}

It doesn't seem to be working. When I type withdraw it sends to the mud {flee} and not a direction

Debug it by watching the tracking trigger:

#ONINPUT {^(%t)$} {#VAR lastdir %1;#ECHO Lastdir @lastdir}

Does that echo the direction you travelled? Sounds like the
variable isn't being set.

First, did you go in at least one direction after setting the script and before typing withdraw? If so, then your directions might not be set-up properly, try entering this into the command line:
.2n

and see if it sends "2n" to the mud or two "n"'s. If the former is true, then enter this into the command line:
#DIR ns "n|north" n
#DIR sn "s|south" s
#DIR ew "e|east" e
#DIR we "w|west" w
#DIR ud "u|up" u
#DIR du "d|down" d
#DIR hl "nw|northwest" nw
#DIR lh "se|southeast" se
#DIR jk "ne|northeast" ne
#DIR kj "sw|southwest" sw

Yeah, it doesn't set a variable. I also put the #DIR in and it still isn't working...Here is some more output of the mud I play.

Hp:614 Mv:373 Tnl:944west

And then it would be the same for north south east up and down.

Try the short form instead of the whole direction (i.e. use "e", instead of "east").

Okay, it works with just the e instead of east, but withdraw only works if you use the full name, east. And also I must of been thinking backwards because what I wanted it to do was do the reverse direction ie.
I type north
then fight and mob and type withdraw
zMUD then sends flee south

Is that at all possible?

Possible, but the opposite of what you originally posted. You want to go back the way you came, not continue on in the same direction?

#var dirs {north|east|south|west|up|down}
#ONINPUT {(@dirs)$} {getnextdir %1}
#alias getnextdir {
#case (%ismember(%1, @dirs)) {
#var nextdir south} {
#var nextdir west} {
#var nextdir north} {
#var nextdir east} {
#var nextdir down} {
#var nextdir up} {
#echo default case in nextdir assignment}
}
#alias withdraw {flee @nextdir}

This will work when you type in the full name of the direction to move. Abbreviations will not fire the trigger.

--edit--
Sorry Samus, I didn't read your last post carefully enough to see you acknowledge the direction reversal error. I apologize for that first sentence, it was unwarrented.

When i edit a post compulsively, does it create some sort of spam that I don't see? If so I'll try to cut back.
