Wrong room getting coloured
|
I've been trying to use triggers to get room colour assigned on the map according to certain words appearing
eg trigger WARES #CALL %roomcol( ,goldenrod)
The problem is, the room I've just left gets coloured, rather than the room containing the trigger word.
Can someone help please? |

I've never really used the mapper myself.
But I seems to me that the #OK command that zmud uses to indicate that a successful step was taken is going off after your trigger that colors the room.
the vnum being used by vnum is then vnum of the previous room.
If the line that shows exits when you enter a room is before the room description, you could make a trigger using your exit description to send #OK.
this should update the vnum before your other trigger colours the room.
All of this is just an educated (I hope) guess. |

You've got it right... basically you have to make sure you've identified you new room before you mark it. You could use #ALARM to delay the call by a second to make sure you had time to get the room vnum updated.

The exits are after the room description, so I can't use them to send #OK.
I've tried delaying the call with #ALARM
eg. #ALARM +1;#CALL %roomcol( ,goldenrod)
but all that happens is that I stay in the approach room for the delay, then it is coloured, then I move. Still the same result - wrong room coloured. |

I would try using the onroomenter alias to get around it
| Code: |
#alias onroomenter {#if (@room_colour !="") {#call %roomcol(,@room_colour)} {}
#var room_colour ""} |
in your other trigger instead of calling %roomcol, just do something like
| Code: |
| #var room_colour goldenrod |
since the onroomenter help says it called after room scripts, then that means it must be done recognizing the new room.
which means the vnum passed to %roomcol should be the correct one, thats my hope anyways.
Anyways, something like that... |

you could set your speedwalking settings to fast, this way you are automatically moved into the room regardless of mud output.
