[Mudlet] Need Help Creating A Pathing System

Hey - 

I have a setup that I've been using since zmud was the only client everyone used, and I'd really really love to have it in mudlet - but my knowledge of lua is very limited. Here's what I have in z/cmud:

Alias1 - sets the value of my 'MapPath' variable to nw|ne|n|n|n|w|n

Key2 - executes the first direction in MapPath and removes it from the value of the variable - in this example, it would move me northwest.

#Alias sbp {#Ec Basic path set.;#Var MapPath {nw|ne|n|n|n|w|n}}

#Key DEC {#Execute @MapPath.1;#Call %pop( MapPath)}


Simple, no? I don't have many credits, having spent the bulk of them getting Svo, but whoever can help me with this is welcome to my last five.

  • The easiest solution would be to just use the existing Mudlet Mapper, with associated script packages for IRE games. You can download it at http://wiki.mudlet.org/w/IRE_mapping_script.
  • I have the mudlet mapper - and use it to get from A - B often enough. What I want is the ability to create aliases of specific paths that I can go through with my macro.

    The applications are obvious, but the biggest and most appealing one is to make a 'path' of an area that I want to patrol as a druid, or bash, or harvest, and I can keep pressing my macro as my task (whatever it happens to be) is complete in each room, so that I don't have to constantly check the map to see where I'm standing, or which direction I wish to go.

    It makes everything a lot more efficient, the hardest part is making the initial 'path' aliases, 'cause I gotta walk around an entire area and write down the directions I take.

  • Try searching the mudlet forums for speedwalking.
  • @Dragonknight -

    That's almost exactly what I need, except it doesn't allow for -me- to control when it takes a step. I need to be able to set a path - similarly to how the speedwalking lets you do so - but rather than a delay between steps, I want to manually - via macro - toggle the next movement.

  • @Dragonknight has helped me - and by 'helped' I mean he essentially told me exactly what I'd need to do - sort this out!

    Many thanks.
