Hey. Ive been trying to write this for a long time.. and seem to be getting nowhere.... I wonder if anyone could help!

I have all of the world mapped and what I would like to do is walk to a room from a certain trigger. so for example

#walk <vnum of room you want to walk to>

I think he is wanting to do a #MAPQUERRY on "home of talgren" (assuming that's the room name) then walk to each found ObjID. Then if "a big bannan" isn't there #walk to the next found room.

Doing the homework on it now... unless someone beats me to a script for it :P

Assuming the output of the mud is alwasys similar "An image of (mobname?) at (roomname?) appears before you", the following might help ya.

#TRIGGER {An image of (*) at (*) appears before you} {found_rooms = %MAPQUERY([Name] LIKE '%@room2find%')}

this will leave you with "#SHOW @found_rooms" looking something like 123|456|789

#FORALL @found_rooms {#SHOW %walk(%i)}

would show:
.2s3w4n
.2s3w4new
.2s3w4ne2ws

speedwalks are example only. Dunno what you want todo besides goto each of them, but instead of #SHOW you could use additem and put the outputted speedwalks into another variable and loop walk through them. The speedwalks returned are path from room where the FORALL is ran, i did it from recall, so to go to each and repeat... i did:

#FORALL @found_rooms {recall;#WALK %i;#WAIT 2000;#show Made it to room #%i}

just replace "#WAIT 2000;#show Made it to room #%i" with what you want it to do, or remove if you just wanna walk to all the rooms.

update.. ive found the problem but not a fix....

using the trigger An image of (*) at (*) appears*

so it all appears on one line seems to work... so its a wrapping problem?

any idea for those long triggers that go onto two lines....

second problem is that some of the triggers have punctuation in...

An image of Me at Forest of G'harran appears before you. ... doesnt work

but

An image of Arturo at Forest of Gharran appears before you. .... does

try this useing the (*) in your trigger and then "%1" the " tell zmud that all inside "" is the info you want to store and it well then shed the "" off

@locating = "%1"
@room2find = "%2"
found_rooms = %MAPQUERY( Name LIKE '%@room2find%')

The first issue is line wrapping... not much you can do but shorten the expression or increase where it wraps (mud setting)

Trigger:
^An image of (*) at (*) appears

Second problem solution (about the non-alpha characters messing things up) is to remove them before the search

@locating = "%1"
@room2find = %subregex("%2","[^\w\s]","")
found_rooms = %MAPQUERY( Name LIKE '%@room2find%')

thanks for that very much appreciate it

small problem with removing the punctuation tho... problem is this also means all the punctuation needs to be removed from every room on my map.. is there a way to batch do this rather then by hand

I shortened the expression and increased wrapping.. it worked but its not the way I'd like to do it. sure theres no way to get around it? as increasing the wrapping isnt perfect for me

This should be taken with a grain of salt as, while this is technically correct regex wise, I dont know if this is supported...
I guess only testing will tell.

Try changing the expression to a regex (one of the trigger options) and use this:
^An image of (.*) at (.*) appears(?s:.*\.$)

This *should* be a multiline embedded regex but I dont have time to test to see if it works as intended.

use:

room2find = %replace( %1, ', %)

turns the ' into % (% is wildcard in mapquery... like * for trigger patterns)

Wizard Joined: 15 Jan 2002 Posts: 1644 Location: USA

room2find=%replace("%1","'","''")

Is actually what you want, Its always better to enclose in quotes to escape comas etc.

Adept Joined: 10 Jan 2002 Posts: 264 Location: USA

cant make out which are single and which are double quotes... but nonetheless... it NEEDS to be %, the wildcard character for %mapquery...

%1 = Jake's Room <-- %mapquery doesn't like single quotes.
room2find = %replace( %1, ', %) <-- room2find now = Jake%s Room
%MAPQUERY( Name LIKE '%@room2find%') <-- executes: %MAPQUERY( Name LIKE '%Jake%s Room%')

commas, #'s $'s *'s etc dont seem to bother it... only single quotes

your %replace nexela from what i can see says to replace all " with '

commas, pipes, brackets, braces, empty spaces, and spaces are the only times i use " " around things to replace.

this is all excellent stuff everyone!

the help with this has been amazing! thankyou!

its %replace("%1", " ' ", " ' ' ") To use a single quote you need two of em % in sql is just like * in zmud, you can use % but then you could also return some matches that are not what you need.
