Hi and thanks for any help before I get going.

I sometimes use a macro that allows me to hit CTRL+numpad or ALT+numpad to open or close doors in a certain direction.

At the moment I use this :

ALT+KEY1

open %doorname ( ,d)

And CTRL+KEY1

close %doorname ( ,d)

The problem I have is that it uses %doorname as a variable (I think). This works fine on doors that have a different name to just plain 'door', as I assume it takes it from the room properties.

If there's a default doorname then nothing is actually entered in room properties, as I have 'door' set to default value.

This results in no value being retrieved when I try to open a door that I haven't actually manually entere the name of.

The map is big, and this would take me days to go around every default door and enter the value 'door', so is there any way to capture this?

Not sure how much sense I made there, but hope someone can understand what I'm trying to get done, and once again thanks for any help :)

i'd use an if to check if %doorname is nul

if it is set a var to 'door'

if it's not null set the var %doorname

then open or close that var.

make sense?

i'm a total newbie in regards to zmud scripting, so please correct me if i'm wrong

would this work?

If %doorname = nul
then %doorname = $door
open %doorname

I told you I was a newbie ;-)

#KEY ALT-KEY1 {#IF (%doorname(,d) = "") {this_door = door} {this_door = %doorname};open @this_door}
#KEY CTRL-KEY1 {#IF (%doorname(,d) = "") {this_door = door} {this_door = %doorname};close @this_door}

This should work without thee need for a variable

#KEY ALT-KEY1 {#IF (%null(%doorname(,d))) {open door} {open %doorname(,d)}}
#KEY CTRL-KEY1 {#IF (%null(%doorname(,d))) {close door} {close %doorname(,d)}}

Or alternativly strip the first group of {}'s to get the value if using the settings editor instead of command line creation
#IF (%null(%doorname(,d))) {open door} {open %doorname(,d)}

i only use the variable caase i ran into a situation of getting trapped in a room while fighting once, so i store door names for use with a flee script, just some future thinking.
