Hi again,

I got the following saved in my variable @DIRECT "nneeewnnwnww"

I was wondering how can i save the above direction into a Path directly?

#PA TEMPLE @DIRECT?

it doesn't work....

Anyone know how to do this?

#MARK
enter in all the directions manually (it doesnt like macroed movement)
#PATH Temple

Seems to me it'd be easier just to create a new Path in the Settings Editor and copy and paste the contents of the variable. He's only using the cardinal directions (NSEW), after all.

I was hoping there was some command to save directly like ALIAS...

#AL fs {fill waterskin statue}

#ALIAS makepath {
#LOOP %eval( %len( @direct)-1),1 {
#VAR direct {
%insert( "|", @direct, %eval( %i+1))
}
}
#MARK
#FORALL @direct {%i}
#PATH %1
}

Sneaky, sneaky. While Slaem's version should work, this ability to assign path directions to a named path variable/alias without having to walk the path is already built into the #PATH command. However, the only mention of this is contained within the Command Wizard; the helpfile that ships with 7.21b and the online version both omit this ability completely.

#PATH pathname [directions]

Directions are optional.

I wonder what version ToyMage is using because when I tested #pa temple @direct it worked fine, I obviously had to save a variable called direct with some directions in it first. Of course like you say if you don't want the variable then #pa temple nneeewnnwnww works fine too.

I put up the other alias since he said #PATH name directions didn't work. A direct/easy alias obviously would be:

#ALIAS makepath {#PATH %1 @direct}

I'd like to know why it doesn't work since the latest version with clean install has no such problem.
