Can you give a bit more detail than "it no longer works"?

alright, it returns a null value

Specifically
#SAY %roomkey(%mapvnum(@destination))
and #SAY %roomkey
are giving the same values even thought the room i am in is not @destination

also the two rooms do in fact have a different %mapvnum

As with all %room functions, it depends upon the setting for your %roommode. CMUD uses that to determine whether to use the vNum or the Room Key. From the %roomvnum docs:

This is not in a GMCP mud as far as I know.

As I said in the original post, this was working properly before.

will leaving the map in %roommode(0) be detrimental? this is the only script i have dealing with it.

In the end it doesn't matter, even with %roommode(0) its not working

still an issue in 3.27
seems to be %pathfrom that is returning a %null now

I am not seeing any problem here. When %roommode(1) is set, I can use the room keys in %pathfrom and it returns a proper path. When %roommode(0) is set, I can use vNum values in %pathfrom and it returns a proper path.

So I suggest you look at your script a bit more and check your %roommode.

I see the trouble, rooms marked to not enter are keeping a path from being formed even when no other options are available but to run through the do not enter room.

Otherwise, this is working great in 3.28

If a room is marked as "do not enter", then CMUD will *never* create a path through that room. So it sounds like it is working as designed. If you just want the room to be unlikely to be entered, just set it's Room Cost to a high value. Then it will only create a path through the room if there is no other choice.

I thought that all the do not enter flag did was set it to a high cost and draw an X through the room.
Regardless, my script is working again and that's what really matters.

Yes, "do not enter" sets the cost to the largest possible value, but the CMUD mapper treats that large value as a special value of essentially infinity and prevents any movement into the room.
