Fed up with countless people asking me how do I get to xxxx from yyyy I wrote this thing
As it is it can be tweaked to work with any just about any mud if anyone has ideas on things I did wrong things they want to see etc just post here. also feel free to attempt to guide me in the right direction with my problem below.

#CLASS {Pathfinder}
#ALIAS AncMapfilter {#CALL %mapfilter([Zoneid]=2 OR [Zoneid]=4 OR [Zoneid]=5 OR [Zoneid]=8)}
#ALIAS pathfinder {#IF (%numitems( @pathfind.from)=1 AND %numitems( @pathfind.to)=0) {reply Please pick a more specific destination room. No Destination room found.

-----------------END---------------

Problems on my end (modified to what I NEED it to do) I for the LIFE of me cannot get %mapquery to use %mapfilter. (is there a setting somewhere for this I might have bumped)

In a new char with new settings and a new map I created 3 zones three rooms each "room one" in zone one "room two" in zone to Etc then did
#CALL %mapfilter(zoneid=1 OR zoneid=3)
#SAY %mapquery {[NAME] like '%road%'}
and it correctly uses the filter outputting 1|3

but if I try the same thing on my char/map it completly ignores the filter when using %mapquery (using #say %numrooms correctly returns the number of rooms for the filter)
so I exported my settings deleted my *.mud opened up my char made a reimported my settings opened a blank map and used zonecopy to copy my map in yet still no go here is what I am trying to do I am beginning to think my whole mapper format is corrupt

#ALIAS AncMapfilter {#CALL %mapfilter(Zoneid=2 OR Zoneid=4 OR Zoneid=5 OR Zoneid=8)}
(formated for readability)
TRIGGER: ^(%w) tells you, 'Era ({Anc|Med|Ind}) From (*) Dest (*)'
Pathfind=""
Pathfind.For=%1
#exec %2mapfilter //correctly sets filter verified using #says throughout trigger
Pathfind.Filter=%mapfilter
Pathfind.From=%mapquery( {[NAME] LIKE '%%replace( %3, "'", "''")%'}) //will capture roomkeys of rooms NOT in filter also for some reason I am noticing it treating LIKE as = and stripping the % or something '%yadda%'
Pathfind.To=%mapquery( {[NAME] LIKE '%%replace( %4, "'", "''")%'}) //Will capture room keys NOT in filter
#CALL %mapfilter("")
Pathfinder}

I wonder if I would have better luck using ADO/SQL etc for the most part
