Zugg Software :: View topic - Moving multiple rooms on the map when running

In the mud I play, there is the ability to run a maximum of 10 rooms in a straight line.

Is there a way to have the mapper calculate the rooms in a straight line from your location:

I am in room 1 there is 5 rooms leaving west. I want to run west, which will put me in the 5th room.

And have the mapper automatically update your new position?

So I would enter the command "Run West" and the mapper would move me to the last possible room up to a max of 10.

Try:
#CLASS {runner}
#ALIAS run {
; Show error message if no direction is specified.
#if (%null( %1)) {
#show "Usage: run ~<direction~>" %crlf
#abort 1
}
; Now move on map. Then send the direction to the MUD.
vnum = %roomlink( , %1)
max = 1 // Have moved one step above.
#while (%roomlink( @vnum, %1) > 0 and @max < 10) {
vnum=%roomlink( @vnum, %1)
max=%eval( @max+1)
#echo @max @vnum
}
~run %1 // Send direction to MUD.
#tel @vnum // Now move to correct position on the mapper.
}
