A Path is used to store a set of "speedwalk" directions used to move from one place to another on the MUD.
A shortcut syntax is used to specify direction commands to be sent to the MUD. This syntax is used in many different MUD clients and on many different MUDs.
For English MUDs, it's very simple and defined automatically for you in CMUD. Each direction (such as "north") has a single-letter shortcut (such as "n"). To send multiple directions to the MUD, start the command with the Movement Character, which defaults to the period (or dot). For example, to move North, then West, then South, you could type:
.nws
To move multiple spaces in the same direction, simple place the number of steps before the movement character. For example, to move 3 spaces north, then 2 spaces west, then one space south, you could type:
.3n2ws
You can specify up to 999 steps in a CMUD path.
To store these speedwalk directions into a Path, use the #PATH command:
#PATH goshop {.3n2ws}
Now, when you type .goshop on the command line, the .3n2ws speedwalk directions will be executed and sent to the MUD.
You can also create a Path within the Edit Paths screen of the Package Editor. On that screen you can click various direction buttons to add directions to the path.
For Non-English MUDs, a package to define the Directions used on the MUD must be used, or you can define your own Direction characters using the View/Directions menu.
You can embed normal commands within a speedwalk path by placing the commands within () parenthesis. For example, you might need to open a door before you can enter it. So, you would do something like this:
.3n2w(unlock door;open door)s
This would move you 3 spaces north, then 2 spaces west, then send the "unlock door" and "open door" commands, and then move you one space south. |
