Found out problem in mapper
 
Ok on the mud I play. I had the problem of the mapper randomly stopping and not following me...so basically i'll end up in some location and the "current location" will be totally somewhere else....

What i've found that is my mud has "block" rooms...this basically means there will be a room which techicnally has a room to the south of it but no south exit..

Now if i try to move south in this room i get the message "You can't go any further in that direction.". Now the mapper will record my movement as south even though i havn't moved..

Is there a fix for this?

Also when meditating and the group leader moves...The Mapper also moves with the leader but not me....

Message is:
You follow someone west
You must stop meditating before you try to move!

Ta any help would be appreciated

If i understand you correctly, then the fix for the first problem is a simple trigger:

#TRIGGER {You can't go any further in that direction.} {#NOMAP; #NODIR}

For the second problem, apparently you have a trigger to map when you are grouped? If so, give that trigger an ID. Then, make a trigger for when you enter meditation, something like the following:

#TRIGGER {You begin to meditate.} {#T- TriggerThatMapsWhileImGrouped}

Hope that helps

You can use the mapper while being grouped? How do you set that up? My mud message is..

Leader_name leaves direction
You follow Leader_name

Any assistance would be appreciate.. didn't know you can do that..

How do you use that #MAP %!;#MOVE %1 thing to have the mapper follow you while your following someone? Or even mapping it if it is possible... I remember seeing this topic before.. and someone told me that you can't unless the mud you are at support the You follow person direction.. is that true?
