Zugg Software :: View topic - map "level offsets" / "select all rooms in zone" ?

Situation: teleport into a room, start a new map zone (level 0). Map a few rooms and levels up, only to find that you weren't on level 0 when you started -- actually more like level 3.

What I think you'd have to do: Select all rooms displayed at the current level (since you can't multi-select rooms across levels, can you?) and then use Edit/Move to move them up a level == repeat for each level.

What I'd prefer is just specify a level offset // or just plain modify all rooms, on all levels, at once...?

I posted something that should help you in another topic and have modified it to only adjust the current zone:

#VARIABLE MapDatabase "map.mdb"
#VARIABLE Connection %comcreate( "ADODB.Connection")
#CALL @Connection.Open(%concat("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=", @MapDatabase))
#VARIABLE Recordset @Connection.Execute(%concat("UPDATE ObjectTbl SET Z = Z + 1 WHERE ZoneID = ", %zonenum()))
#CALL @Recordset.Close
#VARIABLE Recordset %null
#VARIABLE Connection %null
#SAY Done.

Of course, you'll want to change the map.mdb to whatever your map database is.

Yes, you can multi-select rooms across levels.

Select rooms on current level, change level, hold down SHIFT and select rooms on this level, repeat.
