Many people who script the travelers from town to town have eventually come across a deader and made the choice either to stop to help, and be lost yourself, or leave him/her behind and call for help when you get to town.

Or maybe you've gotten stunned or you typed something and got a type-ahead miss on one of the MOVEs.

Anyway, the idea is this; intelligent movement scripts that can "pick up" from a lost trip and take you the rest of the way. Useful for both making emergency stops and turning around mid-way. The script would use a series of matchsets (30 room descriptions, 2 "Obvious exits:" "Obvious paths:" checks to make it go to the next set) activated by "l", to send you to the correct position in the script after your location is determined.

Has it already been done? reg

For brevity (and to reduce redundancy) I only included the first 6 steps, but the rest of the trip is exactly the same process.

Basically, each room move is preceded by a label in order from 1 to 143. The script echo's the incremental counter on each move, so that if and when you stop the script, you restart by simply typing .tomule 45, or whichever step need to resume.

The only subtlety is knowing whether to type .tomule X or .tomule X+1 depending on if the move was made after the last counter was displayed.

If anyone can simplify this... please show me.

put a

labelerror:
goto start

or whatever.
