Zugg Software :: View topic - Mapper configuration for Aardwolf when using tag roomnames on

Apprentice Joined: 11 Oct 2007 Posts: 154

I tried doing the usual reconfigure but If I had the roomnames tag on rooms are displayed like this:
{rname}Whitewind Avenue (G)

instead of like this:
Whitewind Avenue (G)

I would like to make use of the roomnames tag so that I can store my current room to a variable, this way if my position on the mapper gets messed up I can more easily reset my position on the mapper... Any help is appreciated.

Just do #tag for room name, and then reconfigure the mapconfig.

Use a #tag trigger. I'm not totally sure that #TAG is required in this case, but if you're going to be triggering on the tag anyways...why not?

#trigger {^~{rname~}(*)} {#tag name %1;#PSUB "" 0 7}

The above trigger will take care of the mapper, but you will need to edit whatever existing rooms still have the tag in the room name. The #PSUB removes the tag from the visible line onscreen.

I believe the exits tag works in similar fashion, but for description or if you want to work with characters/mobs or items you will need a slightly more complex system (these tags follow the tag.../tag format, and each of the tags appears on its own line.)

Awesome, this is working just the way that I need it to now. I made just a small tweak to your example, posting incase anyone here needs it.
