Is there a script that will automatically update my position on the map. I know that it follows me ususlly, but if I flee, I need to know what room I fled into automatically?

Thanks

No but you can use a trigger to do so.

One option is to do a trigger like this...

#TRIGGER {You flee ({west|east|south|north|up|down})} {#MOVE %1}

another alternative if you don't know what direction you flee in is...

#TRIGGER {You flee like the brazen coward you are...} {#FIND }

This will have the mapper try to find where you are on the map. This is not a 100% accurate though, it depends on how good you mapper configuration/slash mapping scripts are and how unique your MUD rooms are. I've noticed in some MUD the room description, name etc gets a little generic or repetitive so the mapper will point you to first one it encounters based on calculation. This usually isn't an issue, but it is something to be aware of.

Tech,

Thanks for the clue. When I flee in my mud, there is no response, you just fle. But I made an alias to use the #Find command. It's not automatic, but it seems to work.

Thanks
