Moving the map to a specific zone
|
Hi, the mud i play has several ways to teleport within it. The place that i teleport to is fixed, the place that i teleport from is NOT. SO i cannot use special exits on the map to link to the teleport room.
Is there a way to move the map to say room no 449 in zone xxx so that i dont have to keep moving to the correct room on my map manually |

From help file:
Teleport
Syntax: #TE room [zone]
Related: #WALK
Changes your location on the map to a specific location -- your MUD position is unchanged. You can specify either a room name (the short name of a room), or room number, and you can specify either a zone name or a zone number. If the zone is omitted, the current zone is assumed.
TELEPORT example
#TE temple Midgaard
Sends you to the room marked as the temple in the Midgaard zone
#TE 0 "New Thalos"
Sends you to room zero in the zone of "New Thalos"

Sounds like your MUD is using "teleport" the way most MUDs use "recall". Unless you also have a different location that you "recall" to, just mark that room as your recall location. Then write an alias for teleport, similar to the default "recall" alias.
#AL teleport {#RECALL;~teleport}
If you do have a different recall spot, you'll have to use the #TELEPORT command, with the appropriate room and zone.
#AL teleport {#TE 449 xxx;~teleport}

ok, i dont want to sound greedy but......
there are two other commands on my mud. Home and return.
Home i can do with the teleport command (thanks)
Return takes you back to the room that you just "homed" from, how can i capture the room info from where i have just homed from so that i can return to it with my map :) |

Just save the current roomnumber and zonenumber to variables before doing the "home", then use those as the #TELEPORT destination when you "return".
#AL home {#VAR ReturnRoom %roomnum();#VAR ReturnZone %zonenum();~home;#TE homeroom homezone}
#AL return {~return;#TE @ReturnRoom @ReturnZone}
