Hi

I have a alias name kk and is used like this
kk guard west
My value is:
#VAR getkill %1;#VAR flee %2;Back @getkill;flee @flee;#walk %pathreverse(@flee);back @getkill

This is what it sould do, put guard in #VAR getkill %1, put west in #VAR flee, back(stab) guard, flee west, e, Back guard, but it wont go back east and I have try with #noop %pathreverse(@flee) with no luck, what am I doing worng ?

west = w(west)e(east)s(south)t(no move), so the reverse path is
nwe = n(north)w(west)e(east)

Use single-letter directions. Also use #EXEC with the function, so its result will be interpreted by zMUD.
#AL kk {#VAR getkill %1;#VAR flee %2;Back @getkill;flee @flee;#EXEC %pathreverse(@flee);back @getkill}

%pathreverse() is NOT designed to (or does not yet) translate full direction names like north, south, east, and west. It's designed to translate speedwalking/path/mapper predefined directions, examples of which can be found in the System|Directions (n, s, e, w by default) and System|DirectionsDiag (h, j, k, l by default) folders.

Thus, you need to change what you put into @flee to a valid one-letter predefined direction.
