Putting in a wait (for airlock) before continuing on #WALK
|
ok my mud has airlocks in white you walk into the exterior side press touchpad, then wait a few secs and it puts you onto the other side, is it possible to do this with room or walk scripts on the mapper? this is the mud output from one side, button press, and the other side
| Code: |
Exterior Airlock to Colony
Maintenance droids are repairing the wall surrounding the airlock where the gray hardened plazsteel structural beams have apparently succumbed to the stresses of particle bombardment and constant use. A touchpad at the side of the airlock glows softly indicating it is operational. The sign next to it displays instructions.
Underfoot the ever-present rock dust is trampled almost level by the constant traffic through the airlock. Distinct patterns of footprints in the dust along the perimeter of the dome lead north. In the distance you can see the lights of another dome complex.
The main road rises to the west leading to the shuttle port.
You can see a touchpad and a sign.
>press touchpad
You touch the pad and the portal opens to admit you. You step into it and the outside iris closes behind you.
Airlock
The small dimensions of the airlock are obviously meant only for beings class 9 or lower to pass into and out of the colony dome. Touchplates by the irises provide access.
A sign tells you to wait while the pressure equalizes.

<waiting 3 secs here>
| Code: |
The wait sign blinks out and the inner iris dilates, allowing you to enter the colony.
Interior Airlock
A personnel grade airlock is set into the glazsteel dome wall here. To the east is the reception area of the colony. A touchpad glows softly beside the airlock indicating it is operational, the sign next to it displays instructions.
Clusters of planters nearby are filled with a carefully tended assortment of exotic spaceblooms. The inkigo is in bloom, its three green lattice-textured, oval-shaped cylinders arranged equiangularly around a shiny, dark green coroot. The intoxicating sweet scent fills the area. Someone has crudely scrawled across the largest planter, "look for the union label!"

The easiest way to do this is with a room that matches the Airlock. This room should have the Pause during speedwalk flag set for it. By setting the exits into the room to 'press touchpad' you will automatically walk in and pause. Then you set the exits out to things like 'emote takes a deep breath of stale air.' and 'emote fogs the mask of his suit.' This give something for the mapper to register direction from. Finally you place "#ALARM +2.5 {#STEP}" into the room script for the airlock. Now it preforms the emote after 2 and half seconds then wait for the other room. Depending on you muds behavior this may be too early or too late. To keep the mapper in sync you have to preform the emote before the mud expires the 3 second delay, but if you are using fast mode walking and the mud eats commands while it is delaying you then it might be too early.
Other tweaks, if the mud eats commands, would be to set both surrounding rooms to pause during speedwalk then in the Walk script of those rooms to "#STEP" This would then allow the mud to eat those emotes (or you could make them anything else at that point), but further directions wouldn't actually be sent until it was confirmed that you arrived on the other side of the airlock.
The best solution really depends on what mode of speedwalking you use, and how the mud behaves during that delay. |

ha, i tried doing everything in the first paragraph there and the mapper didnt move me out of the airlock room, but after putting the #STEP in the ROOM script and not the WALK script as said above, it works perfect, thank you so much!
