Zugg Software :: View topic - Capturing walk commands makes slowwalk flaky

Hi,

THE BACKGROUND:

I'm using zMUD 6.62 and I speewalk frequently by clicking
on room in my map. Recently I've created a trigger that
captures move commands. It's a "command input" trigger and
the pattern looks like:

^({n|ne|e|se|s|sw|w|nw|u|d|north|northeast|east|southeast|south|southwest|west|northwest})$

All the trigger does is set some variables based on the given
direction. It does no actions.

THE PROBLEM:

When this trigger is enabled, my slowwalking fails randomly.
It can work for a few rooms then just stops. I can slowwalk
the same path 3 times and have it work twice and fail once for
example.

Is there a way to capture walking commands without breaking slowwalking? I need to capture the walking commands regardless
of whether they are issued manually by me, automatically by some
triggers or automatically by the slowwalking feature.

Any help is appreciated.

Instead of using a single trigger, which checks for 18 different possibilities, use 18 triggers which check for one each. These will process much faster.
^n$
^north$
etc.
