Sometimes when I'm walking around, I can slip and fall, or get caught in vines, etc.. and it screws up the automapper.

How can I write a trigger to automatically output 'stand', and continue the path on the automapper from where it left off?

Eg. Going n n n e n n e e n e n

At n n n, I get a message "You slip and fall!"

I want the output of that trigger to be: stand n e n n e e n e n

Any help is appreciated

I'm not sure but I think this can help. Create a new trigger with the event text "You slip and fall!", and put this as the value:

stand; n; #wait 650; e; #wait 650; n; #wait 650 n; #wait 650; e; #wait 650 e; #wait 650 n; #wait 650 e; #wait 650 n; #wait 650

^^That -should- fix it by pausing for 650milliseconds in between each step.

actually, I'll have a different path every time I'm walking somewhere. That was just an example. What I need is a trigger to dynamically find your remaining path and post it.
Thanks anyways, though.

#tr {^You slip and fall!$} {stand;#step}

That script had a problem: I double-clicked on a bend in the path (n w w), and it ended up moving my current position on the map to the destination immediately when I fell down at (n w), then created a new room above (n w w) and stopped there. I was still actually at the point of (n w)

You should do your walking in Follow mode, not in Mapping mode.

It sounds to me like your mapper isn't configured correctly. That is to say, the mapper appears to recognize "You slip and fall!" as the next room.
