this is a sample output from my mud

< 69H 34M 68F 40293G 5768X > n
A Quiet Clearing

You are standing in the middle of a little clearing surrounded by large trees. You notice that most of the trees in this section of the forest are larger than normal. One of the trees is the largest you seen yet, it looks as if it could hold a city in its branches. A small path leads south out of the clearing and another winds to the west towards a small building.

Exits: South West Up[trapdoor]

< 69H 34M 66F 40293G 5768X >

Green in exits are names of door
i need help setting up a script to capture the door name like this trapdoor headed up

#TR {^Exits: (*)$} {#VAR ExitLine {%replace("%1","[","|")};#IF (%version<653) {#ALARM {+1} {onroomcreate}}}
#ALIAS onroomcreate {#LOOP 1,%numwords(@ExitLine) {#IF (%item(%word(@ExitLine,%i),2)) {#DOOR %item(%word(@ExitLine,%i),1) %leftback(%item(%word(@ExitLine,%i),1),1)}}}

This captures the exit information, then when the mapper has finished making the room the door is added. I think the onroomcreate was added in a beta version after 6.40, but last I heard Zugg planned to have another public release soon, hence the version check in the trigger.

The trigger sets the doors in the right place but gives them the wrong name

my firest post would get a door named "u"
one to the west would be named "wes"
north would be "nort"

Take a look at the scrip i got a lot of help writing for RoD in the zMud Scripts Forum. It's Called RoD Add door to mapper.

Very nice
I don't understand how theese 2 differnt scrpits work but it looks like it would look at "trapdoor" as a door and the exit dir not as the door headed up

I can't connect to the mud to test them for about the next 2 weeks

quote:
RoD Exits description: Exits: [north] east [south] west
Where [] are doors

#var doordir ""
#var exitstring ""
#VAR exitstring %replace( "%1", "[", "/")
#VAR exitstring %replace( @exitstring, " ", "|")
#var i 1
#FORALL @exitstring {#add i 1}
#delnitem exitstring @i
#forall @exitstring {#if (%pos( "/", %i)>0) {} {#delitem exitstring %i}}
#var doordir %replace( @exitstring, "/", "")
#var doordir %replace( @doordir, "]", "")
#var doordir %replace( @doordir, "north", "n")
#var doordir %replace( @doordir, "south", "s")
#var doordir %replace( @doordir, "east", "e")
#var doordir %replace( @doordir, "west", "w")
#var doordir %replace( @doordir, "northwest", "nw")
#var doordir %replace( @doordir, "northeast", "ne")
#var doordir %replace( @doordir, "southwest", "sw")
#var doordir %replace( @doordir, "southeast", "se")
#if (@doordir = "") {} {#alarm {+0.5} {#forall @doordir {#door %i}}}

The last line with the #alarm code is needed due to the fact that zmud moves a lot faster than the mapper. With no alarm code you would get doors from the room you are entering into the room from where you left. You might have to adjust the time but 0.5sec is good for me.

Obviously, the script is deleting the last character from each direction. Since this isn't what you want, you probably shouldn't use the %leftback function.
#AL onroomcreate {#LOOP 1,%numwords( @ExitLine) {#IF (%item( %word( @ExitLine, %i), 2)) {#DOOR %item( %word( @ExitLine, %i), 1) %item( %word( @ExitLine, %i), 1)}}}

without the %leftback the door in named up and not trapdoor

Yes, and with %leftback it's named u and not trapdoor.

When you complained that up came out as "u", west as "wes", and north as "nort", I thought you wanted the directions spelled out correctly. Had you mentioned at the time that you wanted "trapdoor" (or other door name) instead, you'd have probably saved some time.

The latest modification to Vijilante's script. This is probably how he intended it in the first place.

#TR {^Exits: (*)$} {#VAR ExitLine {%replace("%1","[","|")};#IF (%version<653) {#ALARM {+1} {onroomcreate}}}
#ALIAS onroomcreate {#LOOP 1,%numwords(@ExitLine) {#IF (%item(%word(@ExitLine,%i),2)) {#DOOR %item(%word(@ExitLine,%i),1) %leftback(%item(%word(@ExitLine,%i),2),1)}}}
