I am having a little bit of a problem with an alias in a script im making, the general outline looks like this:

Alias: RecordPath
Value: #alias {%1} {#t+ walk;path=@recordpath;startwalk}}

The problem with the script is the path=@recordpath line. I want zmud to expand the variable so it looks roughly like:

path=n|ne|e|se|s|sw|w|sw|w|nw

For some reason, I can't think of any way to do this and always end up with "path=@recordpath" instead.

Yeah, I know this seems a bit petty in light of most of these other problems, so I kinda understand if it gets low priority.

Your current line Path=@RecordPath should set Variable Path to the current value of RecordPath, already.
At any rate, if you want to force expansion of a variable, you use <>:
Path=<@RecordPath>

On my home computer, where I am using 6.66 it does, but at this LAN i still use 6.16 because some of the scripts i use for an old mud i play don't translate over with the way the scripting changes after that, and since I only play that MUD when i am LANning with with my friends, I figured I might as well not upgrade here and just keep the scripts.

Just another quick question, is there a quick way to reverse the values in a variable, so @recordpath can be read either as e|ne|e|se or as se|e|ne|e?

PS. I know there are ways to add items onto the bottom of the variables, but I can't seem to find out how to do it, or if that feature only got implemented since after 6.16 and 6.40

I'm not sure if they made a new command to add to beginning of lists
You would need to make a script to reverse it:

#var revrecordpath {%null}
#forall @recordpath {#var revrecordpath {%concat(%i,"|",@revrecordpath)}}
#var @revrecordpath {%del(@revrecordpath,%len(@revrecordpath),1)}

hmmmm ,thats sounds like a lot of work.I use zmud 6.62,have it all mapped out. So i f I want to go from a to b the room I want is in my favourates right click on save path to that room.Box appears to save path as an alias.Which I dont want.So I highlight that path excluding that dot you see at the begining, right cick....copy...close that window...goto actions on the mud window select record path...paste in the copy path name it and away I go .using slow walk. Simple

Its quicker and easier using a script to do it. No messing around moving between windows etc. You can just parse your path to the script and have it do all the work for you.
