Just trying to figure something out here.

I want to lets say run a script where like

#if (%roomzone(%i)=100)

I want to create a red outline around the room but keep the original colour the same?

Not sure how to do the artistic zMapper changes.

You can't really do this very easily. zMapper allows you to define new room shapes/icons. But there is no way to "merge" a new shape (like a red outline) with an existing shape. All you could do is create a new room type with a shape with a red outline, and then use the COM zMapper scripting to change the current room to the new type.

For example, if you create a new room kind in zMapper with the red outline shape, and this is kind #8 (for example), then you could script:

%map.CurRoom.KindID = 8

to change the kind index of the current room.

Take a look at the zMapper help file in the section "Using zMapper with zMUD" for reference details on the COM scripting for zMapper.

Or just use %roomkind(,8) from zMUD (or CMUD) with the zMapper plugin enabled.
