If I enter "e", Zmud knows I am attempting to move because the direction is defined. It then starts looking for a room name and will change my location when it finds it. If there is an alternate way of moving, such as "swim e", Zmud has no idea I'm trying to move unless I trigger the result line with a #move, in which case I am being moved by an alternate mechanism.

Is there anyway to activate the normal movement mechanism by defining somehow the alternate commands so they are recognized as normal movement commands?

Like all good problems, there's more than one way to do it. The way I'd do it is with a trigger and the #move command, like:

#trig {You swim to the (%w)} {#move %1}

You could also use the #direction command to create new directions so that zMUD understands that "swim e" is a movement command. That's more complex, though.

Hmm not sure if this is what you mean:

1. go into settings
2. then click view > show inherited
3. open the system folder that appeared
4. open the directions folder
5. change your viewing mode to all if it isn't already, then select a direction, where it says commands: add the one you want? ie e|east|swim e

Yes, that's it.

Though personally I do what Fang does with the swimming.

Excellent, thanks for the suggestion with the directions folder, that's exactly what I needed!

I added "e|east|swim e|crash e|tumble e|leap e" and now I can just use my normal movement failsafes for all these possible forms of movement without the need to trigger and execute #move.
