Is it possible to flag a room so that commands will be slightly different for that room?

If for example I have a room with water where I have to swim to pass - can I give that room a "water-room flag" and have Zmud send
swim <direction>
in all rooms flagged as water-rooms, and just
<direction>
in any other room?

Thx :)

Yes, in the Room Properties window, under the Other tab, there is a box labeled "Room Flags". Put something like WATER_SWIM in there. If you use other flags, you might want to set it up as a string list.

You were unclear as to whether you had to swim to enter a water room or you had to swim to leave a water room.

If it's the latter, use this trigger:

#ONINPUT {^({@directions})$} {#IF %ismember("WATER_SWIM",%roomflags(%roomlink(%roomnum,%1))) {swim %1} {%1}}

It peeks into the next room and looks for the flag, then sends the appropriate command.

If you must swim to leave a water room, use:

#ONINPUT {^({@directions})$} {#IF %ismember("WATER_SWIM",%roomflags(%roomnum)) {swim %1} {%1}}

In either cast the @directions variable is filled with all possible directions:

#VAR directions {n|e|w|s|u|d|ne|nw|se|sw|north|south|east|west|up|down|northwest|northeast|southeast|southwest}
