I had a script in zmud that kept track of the directions that I followed someone so I could reverse them and go back where I started following from.

I can't get the same script to work in Cmud.

Basically, I want to create a string of directions with a trigger on the text: "You follow XXX direction."

When you go a direction, it would evaluate the reverse of the direction, so N becomes S.

Then a separate alias would allow you to either go back all the rooms, or a specified number of rooms in your list.

I can post the old script if necessary, however if someone wants to script it clean I'd love something more efficient than what I had before (about anything would be).

Thanks,
Y

It is always best to post your previous script even if it doesn't work in Cmud this way we know exactly what you want and we can cmudify and clean it up for you :p

#TRIGGER makepath {^You follow * (%t).} {#ADDITEM dirlist %1}
#ALIAS walkback {#EXECUTE %pathreverse(@dirlist)}
#ALIAS walkclear {dirlist=""}

Ok, here is what the old script was:

#ALIAS backtrackclear {@flipbackpath = "";@pathnumber = 0}
#ALIAS backtrack {#IF @pathnumber>0 {#IF @flipbackpath="" {#LOO @pathnumber,1 {#VAR flipbackpath %addItem( %reversedir( %item( @backpath, %{i})), @flipbackpath)}};@backsteps = %1;#IF %1="" {@backsteps = @pathnumber};#LOO 1,@backsteps {%exec( %item( @flipbackpath, 1));#VAR flipbackpath %delItem( %item( @flipbackpath, 1), @flipbackpath);@pathnumber = %eval( @pathnumber-1)}};#IF @pathnumber<=0 {#SAY "";#SAY End of path! Resetting Variables! Target is still @target!;%exec( );backtrackclear}}
#TRIGGER {You follow @target &%whuntdir.} {#VAR backpath %addItem( @huntdir, @backpath);@pathnumber = %eval( @pathnumber + 1)}

Here's a CMUD version of the script.. I think. (I didn't really have any test code). I commented the %exec, it didn't seem needed. And I used #ADD in one case instead of the %eval but that's just a matter of preference.

FYI to assign a value to a variable you type "backsteps = @pathnumber" or "backstep = %1". In other words don't use @backstep when assigning to the backstep variable.
