Hi all,

I wish to make my Room Scripting as smart as possible and I have the following ideas, but am having problems implementing it properly:-

For example, upon entering the room, I want to "pull level".
I can do this by scripting the room as #NOOP %roomcom(,#alias rm {pull level}), and just type rm to execute it when I am in the room.
However, to improve it even further (since I need to do this for many rooms), I wish to use a Variable, say @bAuto.
So I want my room script to be this
#IF (@bAuto=1) {pull level}

Since I need to do this for MANY rooms when mapping, I wish to setup an ALIAS to set the room script. For example, #ALIAS setrm {#IF (@bAuto=1) {%-1}}
So, I can just enter into the command prompt "setrm pull level" when I map each room (without having to open the room properties and enter the script for each room as the scripts are different for each room).

The problem I ran into is that the script always get saved as
#IF (1=1) {{pull level}}, as the @bAuto is automatically evaluated. Is there anyway to overcome this problem and do what I want to achieve?

Thanks in advance.

Seeing no response to this, perhaps I should simplify my question.

How do I create an ALIAS with VARIABLE in it?
#VAR @bAuto 1
I have tried with #ALIAS setrm {#IF (@bAuto=1) {%-1}}
When I type "setrm pull level"
I get the result #IF (1=1) {pull level} where the @bAuto has been evaluated, what I really want is #IF (@bAuto=1) {pull level}, as I want to save the result as Room Script and @bAuto may have a different value at different time.

Is there a way?

You original question was unclear. I happened to initially read right after getting up and din't have time to try and fathom what you want to do before going to work.

Sounds like you settled on an alias that will always be available that will insert the room script for you. That would be this...
#ALIAS setrm {#NOOP %roomcom(,%concat("#IF (@bAuto=1) {", %-1, "}"))}

If I have misinterpretted what you want to do then you should be able to adapt it to what you want, or you can be more specific. Just remember quotes are your friends.

That's exactly what I want.

Works like a charm now, and thanks!
