Zugg Software :: View topic - Closing the door after yourself automatically.

I need input/ ideas how to make triggers that close doors after me, - much in the same way as the map automatically opens door.

i.e.:
-The door chould be closed as soon as I enter the room.
-Some doors have different names on each side of the door, so capturing the open door command wount do. Is it possible to get hold of the doorvariable from the map..?

Ideas? Suggestions?

Thx :)

Here's what I came up with:

Set the door string to "usedoor %1 %2".

Create an alias "usedoor":

#if {%2} {
open %2
lastexit=%2
} {
open %1
#if {%1="west"} {lastexit="east"}
#if {%1="east"} {lastexit="west"}
#if {%1="north"} {lastexit="south"}
#if {%1="south"} {lastexit="north"}
#if {%1="up"} {lastexit="down"}
#if {%1="down"} {lastexit="up"}
}

Then in my room exit line trigger:

#if {@lastexit} {
close @lastexit
#unvar lastexit
}

Hope that helps!

My mud has 1001 different doornames, so it's not that easy, no.. :)

For doors with different names, how about using a zmud database? Store the room number, door name front, door name back, then in the usedoor alias do a lookup if the %2 variable is defined. If you find a match, use the "door name back" field for the @lastexit variable.

Dunno what the code would be since I've hardly played with the database stuff, but that should solve your problem with a little manual input beforehand. And if you're using version 6.3x with the new mapper db, you might be able to query that db directly for your doornames.
