but another question:

The #abort command is used to break loops.

i used the code:

#var test 1
#CALL %mapfilter(%concat("ZoneID = ",%zonenum(testzone)))
#LOOP %numrooms {
#show %roomnum( %mapvnum( %i))
#math test (@test+1)
#if (@test>5) {#abort}
}
#CALL %mapfilter("")

i need echo 5 rooms int the zone,but it can't work, what's the problem? thanks

Because the #abort is only aborting the current block, the #if command. You need to use #abort 1 to abort the entire script (which will stop any command after the #loop being run as well - you'll need to find a way around that, like adding the commands to a one-time alarm that's created before the loop is run).

But why be hard on yourself?

#loop 5 {#show %roomnum( %mapvnum( %i))}

Nope, just light-fingered when it comes to foreign phrases :)

One option could be to use the #additem command to add the room numbers that the loop returns to a string list. Then you can walk to each of them at your leisure by returning an item from the list with %item or %pop.
