The shortest method to handle such exits is to use a room script.
However it is likely that you have so many such exits across your mud that you don't want to waste time taking the shortest route for 1 or 2 exits. I am guessing you should go all out right from the start.
The correct way to do that is to change the door command in the mapper configuration to an alias you create. My alias was DoorCheck so is set the command to "DoorCheck %1".
Then in the room script for such rooms you add variables that declare what has to be done for the exit. An example of mine is "#VAR n {C:pull lever||I}"
The DoorCheck alias is automatically invoked when the exit is set to be a door, and it can look at that variable and determine that the exit is invisible, and it needs to send the command "pull lever" before stepping through.
Another example of something like your "enter trap". #VAR e {S|C:enter trap|I}
That indicates that the exit is invisible, has to be searched for, and then the command "enter trap" has to be substituted for the east direction.
The more complex system is worth the effort, at least until the next public version when you can create exits with special commands built right into them if you have zMapper as well. |
