would want to capture it using a L or Look command

Posted: Mon Sep 21, 2009 9:57 pm

#TR {Obvious exits} {#C+ Room}
#COND {%dV%sPos} {#C- Room} _nodef prompt

should work, untested

works like a charm. is it possible to create a LOOK command that will enable and disable the #tr TR {Obvious exits} upon using it once? As it is now I move and it captures each room

like the idea can it be made to work on the status bar updating the room your in and the last room you left.
n s e w u d .I could use it with elude command which needs a direction to elude too.
The variable last room could be connected somehow with a trigger. ( like flee) The only alternative is the flee command, when sent, sends the character in any direction. and the mob killing you can follow you.
Elude allows you to escape the fight and not be seen doing it, you are not followed.

I'm not sure how elluding correlates with capturing a room description to another window..
But most anything CAN be done.

What exactly do you want on your status bar?

Oh the wish list is :)

No really just the direction of all the exits available, which are (n s w e n u d) and the last direction i came from, and to use the variable with the status bar as a trigger for Elude.
The elude command is elude e or any dir you want instead of flee
So i see all direction on the status bar and i can click any of then to set that as the Elude dir or by default, it is automatically set to the last dir I came from, if i don't click on any other dir.
Is that ok.?
