Zugg Software :: View topic - Landmarks and auto-changing aliases

Hello. I have a twofold question. First, I would like to know how to set up a landmark system that would recognize certain rooms in the mud. The purpose of this landmark system is so that zmud will automatically rename certain aliases depending on where I am. Example:
I enter the room "The Great Bridge of Hale (nw,n,ne,sw,s,se)". When I enter this room, I want zmud to set "do 10s,10w,jump three times" to the alias "run". But say I move to another landmark, and I want the alias "run" to be changed to "do n,3e,2ne,climb tree".

Thanks in advance to anyone who can solve this tricky problem of mine.

Try using multiple zones in your map and setting these items in the Zone Script field provided by the mapper.

I can't get the mapper to work on my mud and would prefer not to spend the time to tweak it. Is there no way to do it with triggers and classes?

Yes, create a trigger for each landmark. Have the trigger set a variable, call it runpath. For example, have "The Great Bridge of Hale (nw,n,ne,sw,s,se)" as a trigger set runpath to be "do 10s,10w,jump three times". For the alias run, just #exec @runpath
