Paths and their usefulness
 
I love paths and they are quite helpful to me, but I've got a question. How can I make a trigger to automatically speedwalk a path? I can get one to slow walk, but when questing slow walking isn't really a viable option in most cases.

Here's the pattern i'm looking at:
Bastion exclaims 'Look in the general area of (*) for (*)!'

and i want the trigger to take the %1 which i've already saved as a path name and execute the speedwalk as if I'd just typed it into the command prompt like .Akyros Pharmaceuticals etc.

I've found other ways it could be done, but that would involve me walking every room of the damned map and mapping it, but the automapper never works right for me so i just never use it.

#EXECUTE might do the trick for you. I can only think of a few ways your scripts would actually require it, but those are likely quite rare. In any case give it a go and see if it meets your needs.

i'm kinda lazy i just wanna make it so that when i go on a quest i'll automatically go there. also saves me the trouble of mispelling the path like 1000 times before getting it right.

Never thought of that, thanks! It works, but for some reason it gags the line i trigger off of, is there something i need to do before executing the command like waiting a few seconds or something?
