Zugg Software :: View topic - Help needed to resolve a direction variable issue.

Posted: Sun Dec 23, 2007 7:26 pm

Under the "n" direction I set the command to:

north|swim n|leap n|tumble n|crash n|n

So that if I do any of those things it recognizes it as a movement. This works well for recognizing those as movement, but it also has a side effect in that when it goes to open a door it will now enter:

open door tumble n

If I go edit the "n" direction to not include "tumble n" it will pick one of the other commands in the "n" direction commands such as "leap n". Does anyone have a solution to this issue?

I think it might be that it uses the longest item in the list. Try adjusting your list to this "n| north|swim n|leap n|tumble n|crash n", you may also have to put "north" in there so that it can match the word. I have never actually tried this method because I always just tell the mapper what it is doing instead of letting it tell the scripts what to do.

Hmm, putting them in quotes didn't help and the full spelled out "north" was already there. Sounds like I might need Zugg to weigh in on the internal workings to help sort this out.

Sorry, forgot the code tags on it

Ahhh, you nailed it! Adding the spaces to make it the longest did work perfectly.
