That stupid automapper is driving me nuts so I turned it off.

Ok, here what I need: -

Any time I move in a direction I need the room name saving to the roomName var I have set up.

I need it to test for failed moves as well...

eg text:

Failed move - Alas, you cannot go that way.
Door closed - The gate is closed.
Sample room

Inside the East Gates of Gaal
You are by two small towers that have been built into the city wall and
connected with a footbridge across the heavy wooden gate. Main Street leads
west from here. Wall road crosses the street, heading north and south along
the city wall.

[Exits: north south west]
[............] An alley cat hiss at you.
[............] A cityguard is here, guarding the gate.

I hope you can help me so I can get some understanding!!

I tried #trigger {n} {#va roomName #cap} but that doesn't work at all :(

Show a sample of you moving with the commands.
Is the room name in a particular color?

If your mapper is on and configured properly and on then
#VAR roomName %roomname()
will store the room name.

Just started playing Project Bob.

The room names in the mud appear like this:

Temple of Mota [Room 3001] (Recall Point)

By the Temple Altar [Room 3054]

Base of the Great Spiral [Room 3363]

When the mapper captures the room names it uses the number in brackets to set the vnum, which is good, but it leaves that part out of the room name:

By the Temple Altar

By the Temple Altar

Base of the Great Spiral

How do I get the mapper to include the brackets and room number in the room name?

Is there a way to get the mapper to assign the ObjID as the same number?

Also, some of the rooms only have a room name and no room description, in those cases the mapper fails to recognize them as rooms and I have to create them manually. Is there a way to get the mapper to capture rooms with no room description?

Thank you.
