I use fast walk to get from place to place and I'd like to send the "brief" command to the server before starting a speedwalk and after finishing a speedwalk. I always use the map itself (favorites or just right click) to execute the speedwalks. I've looked on the forums and through the documentation and didn't see anything.

For example, I want to speedwalk to a room that zmud determines is 4 sw, 3 e, d, 4 s from my current position. Normally it would send,

sw
sw
sw
sw
e
e
e
d
s
s
s
s

but I'd like it to send

brief
sw
sw
sw
sw
e
e
e
d
s
s
s
s
brief

Turning brief on will reduce the amount of text from the server by a factor of about 50. This mud has rooms that are 500-2000 rooms away from each other with 1-2 paragraph descriptions, so that reduction is quite significant.

I'm ideally looking for a solution that will continue to allow me to just right click a map square and speedwalk to it.

Thank you in advance

#ONINPUT "WalkDetector" {^({n|e|s|w|ne|se|nw|sw|u|d})$} {#IF (%roomlink(,%1)!=%destroom) {#T- WalkDetector;#SEND {brief}}}
#ALIAS onroomenter {#IF ((%roomnum=%destroom)&(%trigger(WalkDetector)=0)) {#T+ WalkDetector;brief}}

That should about handle it, I am not too sure how it will react in all speedwalking modes, but I use a similar script for detecting map intiated walks and capturing them into my own walking routines.

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, the above statements didn't work for me. However, it did point me in the right direction. Specifically that %destroom is -1 at the onroomenter if the room is the destination room. Since if the commands are done one a time by me typing, the destination room is always the next one, so manual input should always give -1. So I wrote the following (at 1:30AM so be kind to me if there is an obvious problem).
