I'm trying to combine the map function with a mining alias so that when I enter a room, I mine it, but only the first time I enter. I've tried making a variable to tell me I've already mined in the room script, but like it's supposed to, it resets when I leave the room. Is there a way, short of making a variable for every room I plan on visiting, to do this?

Unless you want to use the alias for manual mining or the mining effort is long and drawn out (several messages or commands to send to the mud), you really won't need the alias. Just pop this in the room script and it will execute automatically as needed.

#if (%ismember(%roomvnum(),@RoomsMined) = 0) {minealias;#additem RoomsMined %roomvnum()}

If you don't want to mine in rooms you already mapped before this project, you will have to add these vnums manually.

NOTE: it might just be corruption in my map or that I normally don't use roomscripts and thus I'm making some obvious mistake (or just a speedwalking bug of some sort), but I've had room scripts totally mess up my speedwalking to the point where I can't use the mapper double-click to speedwalk feature in any direction going towards the room-scripted room. This usually occurs when I enter the room with the room script and then leave before the room script-created triggers fire (it appears that the _MapperRoom folder or whatever it's named is getting deleted but triggers and anything it contains maybe isn't--since I can't see the folder in my settings files except for when I'm in the room with the room script I really can't tell for sure.)
