Sorry for not responding...I didn't see this post till today for some reason.
There is a COM API for zMapper, but it only works when zMapper is loaded into zMUD as a plugin. There is a section in the zMapper help file that describes the various COM objects and their properties.
Because the COM interface is actually done via zMUD, in your VB application you need to create the COM object: zmud.Application
Then, you get the current session, then fetch the Map object. For example, here is code to display the current room name:
Set zMUD = createobject("zmud.application")
Set Sess = zMUD.CurrentSession
Set Map = Sess.Map
MsgBox Map.CurRoom.Name
To change the "blue dot", you set the CurRoomID property. For example:
Map.CurRoomID = 100
would move the blue dot to room ID 100.
Like I said, look in the zMapper Help file for more documentation on this. |
