[Fixed] %roomlink isn't working for 'other' type exits
|
Summary: %roomlink doesn't properly create 'other' type exits like it does with normal directions.
1) Create a new session, enter it off-line
2) Import the 'in' and 'out' directions:
| Code: |
<class name="directions" id="8">
<dir name="i" reverse="o" dir="other" id="3">in</dir>
<dir name="o" reverse="i" dir="other" id="4">out</dir>
</class>
|
3) Open the mapper with the map button
4) Change to edit mode and create two rooms.
5) Enter into the command line to attempt to create an 'in' and 'out' link between the two rooms:
| Code: |
| %roomlink(1, "in", 2) |
6) Examine the Room Properties window under the exits side tab to see how it did not properly create exit links between these two rooms. |

Very odd. I'm not sure how it's working with normal directions since there really isn't much different between normal directions and your "other" directions. But I've confirmed the problem and added it to the bug list.

Initially I was thinking it was because with normal directions I'd do something like this:
%roomlink(1, "n", 2)
and it is using the direction definition's 'name' field. When doing the %roomlink in my example I used the 'id' field of "in" instead of the name field which is "i". However I tried:
%roomlink(1, "i", 2)
And that didn't work either. So my hypothesis proved wrong. But it remains in my mind the biggest difference in usage between normal exits and 'other' type exits. |

Heh, we thought of the same thing. I was going to post about that too. I also tried it thinking that it might work. It was actually worse than using "in" ("i" didn't create any links at all). Good idea though.
