speed- or slowwalking
 
In an earlier version of zmud (probably 6.x) I was able to do the following.
Code:
#step .news

This would send north and on my manually executed #step, would send east, west and finally south. Now with 7.05 I tried to do this, but it starts sending directions automatically after a few seconds, I only want it manually. I also tried #slow, #slow with path, #ok and different combinations of them. The two different behaviours I can achieve is that it either time out and abort which disables further walking with #step and/or #ok or that it sends directions automatically. I don't want to use the map. Any suggestions for further reading or help appreciated. I could not find anything useful in the document speedwalking explained.

I guess this is something that is not possible to do any longer then...

#STEP/#SLOW/#OK are commands used with the mapper but I think this could be a bug in zmud when you don't have the mapper open. You need to use just the DOT(.) syntax to send speedwalk commands

.news

or DOUBLEDOT(..) to walk in reverse order
..news

or with a saved #PATH

.pathname
..pathname

type this in the command line and hit enter #HELP path

If I use .news it will move me all four directions at once. I want to just move one room and then wait until I can give just one command (like #ok or #step or anything else) to move the next direction. Once many years ago I made aliases for all the path and named them dir0..dirN and used a counter to append to dir. This is not a very nice way though so I would prefer a path style way of doing it. Help for path gave nothing helpful in this case.

You would probably need to make an alias that goes in a direction, then uses #PAUSE in some form. Then, based on the criteria for #PAUSE, you would end up with a #STEP command at the end and could then go in the next direction.
