zMud maps and database problem
|
Ok..I have a zmud map of an area atm underdark and I now want to create
a mob database that contains mobname, area and room name, HOWEVER,
to actually do this properly i need to store the room number that
the zmud mapper gives to a room instead of its name so that
duplicate room names are not a problem. So basically my question is this
If the map is on follow mode is there a way i can retrieve the value
of the room number I am currently at and use that number to store a mob
in my database?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
thanks all |

Yes.
%roomnum()
(The room functions always give information about the current room, when you dont give an argument)

Well, I have actually sorta had some sort of luck doing what i want to do with the %walk() function, however it still requires a person to get the room num first, but that's no big deal...my big problem now is that i'm storing the speedwalk generated in a variable, but when i send this variable to the mud it does not break up the commands when there is a ; in it, can someone plz help me with that?
Thanks |

Ok, I seem to ask my questions to soon! I found out how to do it using the #exec command so...now my next question! hehe
In the mapper when u double click on a room it does the sw to the room, is it possible to change what the double click does so that instead of executing a sw it calls an alias or something? and if so..how can i retrieve the roomnum of the room clicked on?
thanks |

You've been busy! :)
No, you can't do that as far as I'm aware. The nearest you can get is to write a room script, which can be called by clicking the right mouse-button on the room and choosing 'Execute room script'.
