Is there a way I can programatically add directions to the queue?

#TR {You begin walking (%w)ward.} {}

I don't want to just assume to use #MOVE because for whatever reason, I might not actually make it to the next room, I just want to add it to the queue, so that if I do make it, my position on the map updates, and if not, one of my various #NODIR triggers will remove it.

I hope I have been clear.

#QUEUE Should do what you want.

Is there a way to test the queue to see if its empty before adding my own directions to it?

Not that I can find, or remember.

It's amazing that I recalled the #QUEUE command.

#QUEUE is not fully working as i expected, as i can only know one step of the path at a time

I can easily use {#QUEUE %1} as the value for the trigger above, and if the mapper queue resolves before the trigger fires again (which it should) things are hunky-dory.
However... if you even use {#2 {#queue %1}} it will throw the commands for both steps of the path in (according to the map) instead of just adding to the queue.
