Location-specific portals
|
I think this has been suggested before, but I couldn't find anything. It would be great if portals could be set to only be enabled for a specific location (or multiple locations), and other locations would not use them when speedwalking.

I assume you mean room, since they can already be limited by zone.

you can always make it a normal exit in the room in question and add the command to the name field in room properties

No, I mean locations. They're used to track more than one character on the map at once.

I'm talking about portals, not exits with custom commands. Portals are not tied to a single room, they work from anywhere. |

I understand that. But if you want X number of specific rooms only to be able to use it, it seems like it would be easier todo via exits that trying to rewrite portals.

you might be able to do it with a character specific #EVENT but you would need to use the %pathfrom function to determine weather or not to use that characters teleporting ability instead of #PORTAL
or maybe have it toggle %portalenabled as needed?
We need a new #EVENT handle... onPathFind or onTrack (since #TRACK changes which #LOC is used, i assume that switching active sessions would #RAISE this) |

That's the only way I've been able to come up with. I keep track of which portals each of my characters have in a variable, then loop through it and enable/disable portals as required in an onConnect event. This is made easier because my MUD doesn't allow having multiple characters logged in at once, but for people who play MUDs that do allow that, they would need to run that enable/disable loop every time they wanted to speedwalk with any character. It really feels like something that should be built in, though. |
