Zugg Software :: View topic - Clear out the directions in the speedwalking queue

Is there a way to clear out the directions in the queue for speed walking? I have a bot that I created that will #slow walk me to a location on the mud. But sometimes if I go through a portal it will randomly teleport me to a unknown location on the mud, and there are still directions in the queue. Then cMud will keep trying to go through all those directions in the queue until it runs out of directions. Since I am in a unknown place it's annoying to try to go east but if the direction in west in the %nextdir() I walk east then automatically it dumps west to the mud. The I will get the "Slow walking aborted" message because my room desc doesn't match what they expect.

I have tried using #stop but that doesn't clear out the queue.

I checked on the zMud discussion group and they suggested I try using #NODIR 1 but that failed to clear out the queue as well.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Using #NODIR 1 will do it.

#QUEUE 0 works as well.

I'm having the same problem as the original poster from so long ago, and can't find the solution. I'm using the #SLOW command to follow a path in CMUD 3.34. I'm not using the mapper at all. If something goes wrong while walking the path, like falling off a tree or something, then I'd like to be able to clear the remaining steps so I can start a new slow walk from the new location. However, all of the old directions remain in the queue until I exhaust them using #OK. I tried both of the solutions listed in this thread, and neither one of them is clearing the queue.

Suggestions?

In your case, if you are not using the mapper then you must obviously set some variable to empty. If you have no variable, then there's nothing you can do because the commands were already sent to the game.

I'm not sure what you mean by "some variable". I'm using the #SLOW command. The commands have not already been sent to the game. They are in the slow walking queue. After an unsuccessful move I #STOP the walk, but the remaining directions are still in the queue (in CMUD, not already sent to the mud). At that point, I'd like to tell CMUD to forget the rest of the commands... empty out the queue. Is there a way to do that?

Try simply typing:
