Is there a command or function which emulates this button?

#ALIAS mapfind {room_to_find = %replace( %0, ', %)
#MAPQUERY {Name LIKE '%@room_to_find%'}
#show ------------------------------
#show Finding: %replace( %0, %, "")
#show ------------------------------
}

i send this alias via a %selected right click menu, command line, or thru a button where @room_name is already stored from several other triggers.

useage:
via right-click menu: mapfind %selected
command line: mapfind This room
inside a button: mapfind @room_name

Or you could just use the #FIND command

heh, i was assuming find button in spreadsheet view... to actually locate a room other then the one you are currently in. afaik #FIND is to locate only current position on the map

well I can only see 1 find button and thats to locate yourself in the mapper :D
Guess both should work to whatever his request should be :D

nope... open up Spreadsheet View...

you should see a row of buttons...

Field Find Set Walk Props

that find box opens a query window, that my alias performs from command line or within triggers/aliases/buttons/etc

I know, but I didnt know anyone actually used spreadsheet to travel around. In the other case, theres a "button" with a pair of googles used to find your position in the map. Thats was all I was saying.

I only use it to find a room a specific mob is in, with the "clairvoyance" spell of the mud I play.

so you do use it to travel... for spells like that i have it triggered to mapfind the output of those spells, like locate corpse, scry, etc.

:edit: but we really shouldnt even worry about it or continue posting back and forth till bozo lets us know what it was he was specifically asking, until then this is all mute :P

#trigger ("You scry @target at *") {
room_to_find = %replace( %2, ', %)
room_id = %mapquery {Name LIKE '%@room_to_find%'}
#if (%numitems(room_id)=1) {
#TE %mapvnum(room_id)
}
}

Failing that if i need to get the zone ill use the ADO interface to open and query the mapper.

Thanks for the help.
