RemoveBacktracks
Script function world.RemoveBacktracks Read about scripting Type Method Summary Removes backtracks from a speed walk string Prototype `BSTR RemoveBacktracks(BSTR Path);` View list of data type meanings Description `This takes a speedwalk as an argument and removes any backtracks from it. For example: "4n 2s" would be converted to "2n". A side-effect of this routine is that comments will be removed from speedwalks, and "reverse direction hints" will also be removed. eg. "(open door/close door) {comment}" would be converted to "(open door)". It will also join directions where possible, eg. "n n n" would become "3n"` VBscript example
    world.note world.RemoveBacktracks("4n 2s")
Jscript example
    world.note(world.RemoveBacktracks("4n 2s"));
PerlScript example
    $world->note($world->RemoveBacktracks("4n 2s"));
Python example
    world.note(world.RemoveBacktracks("4n 2s"))
Lua example
    Note(RemoveBacktracks("4n 2s"))
Return value
    The supplied string, with the backtracks removed as described above.
    If there is an error in the speed walk string then the first character of the returned string will be an asterisk ("*"), and the rest will be an English error message.
