Automapper in Zmud 6.40
 
Hi,
I have another question. I know in Zmud 6.16 the auto mapper only works when i am the one leading the group. i.e. iam the one inputing n,w,e,s....etc.

I was wondering if 6.40 is able to automap zones and directions if i was part of a group and was just following the group?

Thank you.

It won't do it on its own. You'll need to create some triggers to identify when you start moving.

Read the help on #MAP
It covers this almost word-for-word.

MAP

Syntax: #MAP direction
Related: #PATH

Add the specified direction to the current path being recorded. Also sends the location to the mapper to move you on the map.

MAP examples

#MAP north

if the current path is .s then the path is updated to be .sn. If the current path is .2n then the path is updated to be .3n. Then you are moved one square north on the map.

#TRIGGER {%w leaves (%w)} {#MAP %1}

Follows the leader of your group and updates the map location

Think you.

But my mud automaticly Follows the leader of your group, if i am following Bob and he goes north i go to and it will show "Bob goes north" "You Follow Bob" so i have already gone north and from what I understand this will have me go north agean. it will sometimes go so fast that client triger based follow will not keep up. I want it to do something like

Bob goes north
You Follow Bob

new room info

Bob goes east
You Follow Bob

new room info

Bob goes north
You Follow Bob

new room info

at high speed to keep up with the mud

Did you try it? I can't test it right now, but from the descriptions, it doesn't appear that it will send the command to the MUD.

Expand the trigger pattern to include that line:
%w goes (%w)$You Follow %w

i could not get it to triger on

%w goes (%w)
You Follow %w

using "%w goes (%w)$You Follow %w" or any other newline comand i know i had it set so it trigers "bob goes (%w)" but i fall isis most of the time now, i set this script

#TRIGGER {You now follow (%w)} {#va leader %1}
#TRIGGER {You stop following} {#va leader noone}
#TRIGGER {(%w) goes (%w)} {#IF (%1=@leader) {#map %2}}
#TRIGGER {(%w) panics, and attempts to flee.} {#IF (%1=@leader) {flee}}
#TRIGGER {(%w) stops resting, and clambers to %w feet.} {#IF (%1=@leader) {stand}}
#TRIGGER {(%w) sits down and rests} {#IF (%1=@leader) {rest}}

what each part is for
#TRIGGER {You now follow (%w)} {#va leader %1}
who am i following
#TRIGGER {You stop following} {#va leader noone}
when i stop following
#TRIGGER {(%w) goes (%w)} {#IF (%1=@leader) {#map %2}}
maper
#TRIGGER {(%w) panics, and attempts to flee.} {#IF (%1=@leader) {flee}}
leader runs i run
#TRIGGER {(%w) stops resting, and clambers to %w feet.} {#IF (%1=@leader) {stand}}
leader stands i stand
#TRIGGER {(%w) sits down and rests} {#IF (%1=@leader) {rest}}
leader rests i rest

it all works but the maper

How does it fail? What did you try? According to the sample MUD output you provided above, the pattern of "%w goes (%w)$You Follow %w" should work fine. Perhaps the tirgger does fire but the command to move the mapper is not working? I can't even possibly begin to imagine what's wrong without what you tried, how you tried it, and how did it not work.
