I am attempting to use the lastcom function to do two different things... one of which is to make my character swim in a peticular direction after recieving the message that there is water to swim through:
***I walk with macros that are set as follows for example west: w;aoff***

((macro for w: w;aoff))
There's water ahead of you.
((swim %lastcom2))

For some reason lastcom returns aoff lastcom2 returns 0 and lastcom3 returns aoff.
This only happens on the comp I am using now but not any others. I am using the EXACT same system because I am uploading it to a server to transfer back and forth.

I am also try to get it to do the same thing for opening doors.

The line for a door is as follows:

There is a door in the way.

Same thing happens here as well.

Like I said only happens on this comp, but not any others...
HELP!

This is what works for me:

#trigger {^There's water ahead of you. You'll have to swim in that direction to make it} {swim %word( %nextdir, 1, "|")}

With this I can just move into the room (via automapper paths, slowwalk, typing "n", or clicking the buttons on my button bar) and if there's water I automatically swim. If I'm flying or someone's parted the waters it still works. Once in a rare while this doesn't work, it sends "swim " or "swim swim s" or something else bogus; but if I repeat the command it usually does.
