Zugg Software :: View topic - #NODIR

When I bump into a closed door that prevents me from moving I want the map to know I didn't move. To accomplish this, I created a class "#NODIRS" that contains triggers like this:

Trigger Text: The oak door is not open.
Trigger Action: #NODIR; #SAY TRIGGER FIRED

The #SAY statement is in there just for troubleshooting - I know that the trigger is "firing" because I see the say text - but my position on the map is still changing even though I bumped into the door. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

What speedwalking mode are you in? The mapping-help commands (#nodir, #nomap, etc) don't work in fast mode, because all of the speedwalking commands get sent to the mud BEFORE anything else happens.

I was in fast mode - but i was testing using a single direction at one time.
I switched to safe mode and now my map doesn't update after I move at all.

Then I switched to slow mode and it moves me one direction and then aborts.
Guessing maybe it's not detecting my prompt?

How can I troubleshoot/confirm the automapper's prompt detection? Is there a way to see if it's actually detecting the prompt?
The closest I can think of is to create a trigger that uses the same regex and just does a #SHOW to indicate that it's working. But that's not _really_ confirming that the automapper prompt detection is working, just that the regex syntax is correct.

The mapper is just creating an internal trigger (the same type you see in your package files, except you don't ever see this one). If the #SHOW trigger is firing, then the mapper IS finding the prompt. Just because it finds a prompt, though, doesn't mean it will find the room info; that's determined by your configuration settings so if those are off then either 1)you are in a place that doesn't conform to your settings or 2)your settings are just plain incorrect.

I'm having trouble actually detecting my prompt ... here it is:

I'm guessing your trigger pattern has too many spaces at the end of the trigger. If I recall the little bit of regex I've dealt with (there's no significant speed difference between regex and zscript, so I never bothered to learn regex), + means 1 or more characters and your example text only has one space at the end.

Ah-hah. Fixed it. The autoconfig didn't generate a working regex. I changed it to the following and now slow-walking works:
