I play a mud called Harshlands.
My problem is that when I am following another character around the mud, the map doesn't follow with me.
A second problem is that when I use sneak on the mud, such as sneak east, etc, the map does not follow me (or build new rooms)

I tried to fix this by aliasing the command 'e' to sneak east, and then autoconfiguring the map with 'sneak east' in the autoconfigure box. It didn't work.

Does anyone have any idea if I can configure the map to respond to my sneaking from room to room?

Link it both movement activities to the #MOVE command.

MOVE

Syntax: #MO direction

Move in the specified direction on the mapper.

MOVE Example

#MOVE north

forces the mapper to move one room to the north.

Depending on what is happening you could also try using the MAKEROOM command if appropriate.

Okay, I appreciate the help, but I don't know how to link the commands to #move. Would you be able to give specific directions?
Thanks!

via triggers. Create a trigger to match the text you want, and in the code to execute you use #MOVE.

Better yet:

#alias {e} {sneak east;#mo east}

if you are using aliases for moving. :P

Okay, what I am not understanding is where do I type in #alias {e} {sneak east;#mo east} ?

Paste that text into the command line then go look at it with the settings editor.

It'd be better not to use the alias but to use a trigger because there will be times you are not sneaking, but the alias will make that impractical.

Post what it looks like when you sneak east and I'll give you a trigger to move you on your mapper when you do it.
