Hi!

Would it be possible to tell mapper when to try to open doors, and when not to? Or else every time I walk through a door and back, CMUD sends "open" command, regardless of whether it's needed.

Thanks.

Does it matter if it sends one that's not needed, though? Generally, trying to open something that's shut just gives an error and the map can keep on going.

Well, it's spammy, especially if most doors are usually open. I believe you can do this using ZMapper, if you're willing to deal with all of the other bugs.

Yes. The way to do it is to first set up a trigger that detects the state of the doors. If the mud isn't telling whether they are opened or closed then there is nothing you can do. Once your are properly recording the open/closed state into a variable you can then set up an alias that takes parameters of direction and doorName. It should send the appropiate command based on the contents of the variable. Finally adjust the Strings and Doors section of your mapper configuration, by replacing the "open" with the name of your alias.
