Mapper Configuration Help Please!
|
Can anyone help me set up my Zmud mapper? I've tried automatic and offline configuration, but it still won't work properly. I'm trying to set up the Room Name and Room Exits.
Here's a copy/paste with my character walking into 2 rooms. Any help would greatly be appreciated!

You will likely have to use #TAG to get this to work.
#TRIGGER {^You {walk|run|fly|swim|leave} %t.} {}
#COND {$} {}
#COND {*} {#VAR RoomName {%trim(%line)};#TAG name @RoomName}
#COND {~|%sExits: (%w)} {#TAG exit %1} |

Thanks for the reply. Can you tell me if I'm doing this correctly?
I copy/pasted your #TRIGGER and #COND's into a text file. Opened Triggers and Imported the file. Save and exit Triggers. Open Map and run the Automatic config again. Is that right?
I must be missing something, or entering the trigger/tag incorrectly. |

That method should work. Problems with the automapper are notoriously hard to solve. If you can't get it to work right you might want to go so far as dig up a script I posted to the Finished Scripts forum for completely overriding the automapper system. While my script is overkill in this situation, and will require heavy modifications as well as having zMapper installed and operational; it is certain to work. I definitely support testing the much simpler triggers I wrote first though. This would be done by checking for the existence and value of variables such as "RoomName" after entering a room. You can add more variables; or even reuse the existing variables to further test that the triggers are firing properly.
