Help with room exits
|
Common room exits are "enter" and "out", however I'm having trouble figuring out or finding information on how to incorporate those directions into the mapper. When in a room that has enter (or out) as an exit, I'd like to enter the room and have the mapper follow me to that zone. I tried adding the direction using #DIR but was not successful.
I tried using #PORTAL, and created a portal using the room name that I want to end up in, but I'm not to familiar with that command and had trouble finding info on it (any links?).
Thanks a bunch for any help. |

From the command line when mapping the room you do this when moving through a custom named exit:
>enter>n
>out>n
where n is the direction in which the mapper should put the room. |

Extra bonus feature of doing it this way - when you press your keypad 8 macro with that setup, it'll send "enter" instead of "north".

Thanks a ton! One question though: if one of the main directions is used (n), then how do you keep the mapper from thinking you've moved north when you exit? I tried the above and it worked like a charm going in, but exiting, I remained in the correct room while the mapper placed me one room north.
Thanks again! |
