Hi,

Directional Flee

How do i move the current location in the mapper screen with the directional flee ?
For example if i type retreat east i would like point in mapper to go one room east.

Solution : #TRIGGER {You retreat ({west|east|south|north|up|down})} {#MOVE %1} [see topics]

Non-Directional Flee

When normal fleeing (non directional) is there a walkthrough to catch the right room with the mapper ?
ex : I am in a room with 4 exits (n w s e)
Movement with a flee will get me to one of these rooms. Is there a script to catch the "right" exit with mapper
[Several rooms have the same name and same description]
[but in general not the same exits]

Solution : #FIND maybe with a look only to the adjacent rooms (rooms next to the previous one)
Maybe someone have a script ?

Recall and mapper

If i recall, i go to one of "recalls" room but it's not always the same room.
So i would like mapper to quick search the right room and locate myself.
Atm, i'm using the binoculars button to locate room (i think it's not a bad way, maybe #LOOK)

Solution : #FIND should work well

Any comments welcome :)
Thanks,

Can you give some more details? To help write the triggers you need, we'll need stuff like the text that the mud sends when you recall, or when you non-directionally flee. I'll see about coming up with the right code.

[edit] I think we'll also need an example of the room name, description and exit lines. Somehow you'll have to capture those into variables, I think.

I should explain a bit. #Find cannot be limited to a list of rooms. It will always work on the entire map. So what you are asking for is some code that does the equivalent of #Find on a specific list of rooms.

Mapping is based on triggers created by Fang Xianfu (cf post)

FLEE SUCCESSFUL

Excellent! You are already identifying and manually tagging the room name, description, and exits. That helps a lot. The first step is to edit those triggers to store the name, description, and exits into variables, as well as tag them for the mapper. For extra speed, set the variables to use default (which can be blank), so it won't bother trying to save the values to disk.

The fact that it tells you the flee was successful after displaying the new room is actually helpful! That means we can trigger off of that and use the variables for room name and exits right away. I'll poke at some code later today to see what I can come up with.

Here is what I've come up with. First, you have to modify the trigger Fang helped you with so that in addition to doing #tag, it will create variables containing the room name, description, and exit list. In the following code, I assume these are named @roomname, @roomdesc, and @roomexits. The following trigger does most of the work:

Great! I'll take time to try as soon as possible Very Happy

I can even simplify it because in that mud there is no (ne,se,sw,nw), just plain directions n,w,s,e,u,d :)
Thanks a lot,

If your mud doesn't use 'other' types of directions either (e.g. out, in, enter cave,...), it can be simplified even further. The section:
