You may have heard this before, but this time I would like some specifics, please!

I was thinking of using two aliases.
One named 'pause' to temporary stop, and at the same time store the speedwalk queue.

Then I would do my stuff; attack something for example.

Then I would use that second alias, named 'resume'. It would get the saved speedwalk queue and execute it as a speedwalk.

The best that I've been able to do is:

dim speedwalkQueue
dim iCount

speedwalkQueue = World.GetQueue

If Not IsEmpty (speedwalkQueue) Then
for iCount = lbound (speedwalkQueue) to ubound (speedwalkQueue)
world.addalias "", "resume", speedwalkQueue (iCount), eEnabled or eAliasSpeedWalk, ""
world.discardqueue
next
End If

The problem with this solution is that I end up with ten different aliases each with one direction.

Thank you very much for helping, Flannel!

When I tried your aliases I got this error message:

Quote:
Execution of line 3 column 1

Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment: 'getvariable'
Line in error:

So then I changed the aliases to:

Quote:
<alias
match="^pause$"
enabled="y"
echo_alias="y"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
ignore_case="y"
sequence="100"
>
<send>dim speedwalkQueue
dim iCount
dim NewQueue

newQueue = ""
speedwalkQueue = World.GetQueue
If Not IsEmpty (speedwalkQueue) Then
for iCount = lbound (speedwalkQueue) to ubound (speedwalkQueue)
newQueue = newQueue & speedwalkQueue(iCount) & VBCrLf
world.DeleteVariable "QueueTemp"
setvariable "QueueTemp", newQueue
world.discardqueue
next
End If
enablealias "speedwalkresume", 1</send>
</alias>
<alias
name="SpeedwalkResume"
match="^resume$"
enabled="y"
echo_alias="y"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
ignore_case="y"
sequence="100"
>
<send>dim speedwalkQueue2

speedwalkQueue2 = world.GetVariable ("QueueTemp")
world.addalias "SpeedwalkResume2", "resume2", speedwalkQueue2, 5121, ""
world.Execute "resume2" '</send>
</alias>

My 'resume' alias might not be pretty, but it actually seems to work.

My error was because it was QueueTemp and in my alias I had TempQueue.
If you change it, it should work.

And that way you wont have to worry about adding aliases, or anything.
