Greetings and salutations!

I'm trying to create a small alias that will do the following:

1. Run to the closest shop.
2. Sell all loot.
3. Run to the closest bank (from the shop).
4. "deposit all coins".
5. Run back to where we started.

I know that I should use:

#MARK

And when I reach the bank:

#PATH lootpath

After depositing the coins:

#RETRACE lootpath

However, in some zones there are more than one bank/shop, and I want to be able to give the same ShortName to all banks/shops (banks are named "bank", and shops "shop" of course!)

Now, how do I

#WALK (closest bank)

and

#WALK (closest bank)

That is the question... We all want to loot-a-lot, don't we?

You could use %walk to return the speedwalk to the room and compare the speedwalk to each other to see which one is shortest. The problem is that zMUD will only return the speedwalk to the first room it encounters that has the name "bank".

You may be able, however, to store the names of all the different banks in a stringlist (like bank1|bank2|bank|etc.) and you could have a zone script for each zone to load the appropiate list into a variable when you enter that zone.

Otherwise, the other solution I'm thinking of involves the beta version, COM scripting and ADO. However, this way, it starts to get somewhat messy.
