Hi all,
I am trying to change the color in the current room to a new value from a trigger. I found the roomcol function and managed to retrieve the current color. Sadly I cant change the color. I tried it from the command prompt of my main window. I used the following variations:

#noop %roomcol(,red)
#noop %roomcol(%roomvnum,red)
#noop %roomcol(345,red) // 345 is the room id
#noop %roomcol(,$ff0000)
#noop %roomcol(%roomvnum,$ff0000)
#noop %roomcol(345,$ff0000) // 345 is the room id

but nothing worked.

Any idea what I did wrong?

Regards

Sammas

You have to be in map mode or unlock the map with the %maplocked function to make changes to the database. Here is a handy alias to handle all that for you without messing up the current maplocked state.

#ALIAS roomcol {
SaveLockState=%maplocked
#CALL %maplocked(0)
#CALL %roomcol(,"%-1")
#CALL %maplocked(@savelockstate)
}

Then just use it like a regular command
roomcol red
roomcol $ff0000
etc etc
