I've been trying to make a script to check my location matches the map and if not checks map for right room then teleports me to it

This trigger fires once after I move a direction, gets the room name on the map and mud and checks to see if they match(for some reason if I save it straight #VAR roomonmud I only get the first word saved to the variable thats why im using the array **Think I might be missing something simple there :) Cant use {%e[36m^(*)$} coz doesn't work with color trig for some reason**

#TRIGGER {%e[36m(*)} {
#VAR getroom %array( %1)
#WA 200
#VAR roomonmap %roomname( )
#VAR roomonmud {%arrget( getroom, 0)}
#IF (%begins( @roomonmap, @roomonmud)) {
#SHOW %ansi( bold, white)Room matches map!
} {
#VAR Path %mapquery( "[Name] LIKE '%road%'")
#FORALL @Path {#SHOW %roomname( %i)}
}
} "" {color}

The question ive got is, can I use a variable in the %mapuery somehow

#VAR Path %mapquery( "[Name] LIKE '%{@roomonmud}%'")

This is what im after but the variable doesn't expand

Thanks for any help

Heh, there are already several pre-made packages for stuff like this but a short answer for your question would be this.

#alias roomlike {roomonmud=%concat( "[Name] LIKE '%", %replace( %-1, "'", "''"), "%'");#show %mapquery( @roomonmud)}

Then in the command line you would type "roomlike On a dirt road" to find the room named "On a dirt road"

If you wanted to find all rooms with the word road in them then you would type "roomlike road"

Hope that helps.
