Would any kind body help solve my problems ? I have dwelled on the following :

I see #walk command in help file, so that I can use #fin to locate myself and go to a destination by #walk, say, #walk temple. But, is there any command I can use to achieve the effect of #slow, but using the map instead of path ? As I need to search for a mob on a certain area on my map, and the mud I am playing will automatically faint my character once more than 30 commands is entered at a time.

P.S. I am using zmud 4.62

I believe you want to set it to use slow walking in the mapper settings. Then you can simply double-click a room and it should slow walk to that room. Test it with a few closer rooms, and make sure. I have no specific knowledge where the setting I mentioned is located in that version or whether it is even there. I would suggest upgrading to the current public version, as there have been many improvements since 4.62.

I don't know if this will work in v4.62, but in v6.16, you can open the Map Properties and set Speedwalking mode to Slow.

Another feature in v6.16 (which may or may not be in v4.62) is the %walk function. You can use it in conjunction with #SLOW:

#SLOW %walk(temple)

or write an alias

#ALIAS goto {#SLOW %walk(%1)}
