is the hunt skill a common thing in muds ?

You pick up the trail.
The trail to your prey leads east. It is poor

Pretty common, yep.

Pretty common, and also very quick and easy to implement, although some muds use "track" to provide information while "hunt" automatically chases the target. I created my own solution for GodWars back in 1995, inspired by an even older public snippet, and I've seen a number of other versions floating around over the years. from 1993 that was recently cleaned up, if you're looking for something to get you started.

ya legend mud does not have the auto function ,but i've made triggers for that so its not so bad and legend has a locate spell that tells you a room name . if you can't cast spells you can buy a wand at a shop that has like 5 or 6 uses

So, does the game have to record the track targets entire path (through room exits)?

Or, store their [the targets] last exit in the room structure somewhere, with perhaps a set limit on how many individual tracks can be stored in each room?

What are the common methods to implement this?

Nevermind, I see the . Wouldn't a tree be better than a hash table here?
