Step by step help
|
| Code: |
#TRIGGER {^(%w)(%s)~- (*)}
#VAR location %3 |
Trying to get something like
Ryuoni - Caemlyn Central Square
to capture the room name...works when I test it in the test part, but the variable only captures the first word of the room name in the mud. (there are also different amounts of space between the character name and the - )
Thanks ahead of time.

O.K. got that working and creating a list of rooms using
| Code: |
#TRIGGER {^(%w)(%s)~- (*)}
#ADDITEM location {%3} |
now I need to extract the roomnumbers from the list using %mapquery I'm guessing. I have
| Code: |
| #SHOW %mapquery("[Name] LIKE '???????'") |
how do I extract the list of names from the variable and have it return the room numbers? |
|

Wow the search function is great...I have this now
| Code: |
#CLASS {Locate}
#VAR location {}
#TRIGGER {^(%w)(%s)~- (*)} {
#ADDITEM location {%3}
#SHOW %mapquery( {[Name] = '@location'})
} "" {notrig}
#CLASS 0 |
problem is that it now only captures the first room name and gives me that number...how do I get it to provide all the room numbers? |

| Code: |
#CLASS {Locate}
#VAR location {}
#TRIGGER {^(%w)(%s)~- (*)} {
#VAR location %null
#ADDITEM location {%3}
#FORALL @location {#SHOW %mapquery( {[Name] = '%i'})}
}
#CLASS 0 |
Is getting the job done...two things that need to be done are:
1. if more than one person is located in the same room, that room number is returned twice..only want it once.
2. have no idea what the command to highlight rooms using zmapper is (and the help file isn't helping)
Any help appreciated. |

#VAR location {}
#TRIGGER {^(%w)(%s)~- (*)} {
#VAR location %null
#ADDITEM location {%3}
#ALARM locatemapquerryalarm +5 {#FORALL @location {#SHOW %mapquery( {[Name] = '%i'})} }
}
#CLASS 0

Try that. It will overwrite the alarm till you are done.
To highlight the room you can use %roomcol([vNum], [color])
I'd make a string list of vNum's you highlight so you can undo it later. |

Backtracking
| Code: |
#CLASS {Locate}
#VAR locations {} {}
#TRIGGER {^(%w)(%s)~- (*)} {
#ADDITEM locations {%3}
#FORALL @locations {#SHOW %mapquery( {[Name] = '%i'})}
#VAR locations %null
}
#CLASS 0 |
with this input
Players in your Zone
--------------------
Inochi - Square of Tammaz
Bromax - Cozy Room
Falyn - Cozy Room
gives these results
19483|19484|19536|19540|19541|19542|19546|19547|22749
19483|19484|19536|19540|19541|19542|19546|19547|22749
19483|19484|19536|19540|19541|19542|19546|19547|22749
19499
19499
the numbers are correct, but why is the first set repeated three times? |

SO CLOSE I CAN TASTE IT!
| Code: |
#CLASS {Locate}
#VAR locations {Seandar Central Square} {}
#TRIGGER {^(%w)(%s)~- (*)} {
#VAR locations {%3}
#PATHHIGH path {%mapquery( {[Name] = '@locations'})}
} "" {notrig}
#CLASS 0 |
works 92.125% of the time....only trouble it has is when there is more than one room with the same name in the zone..it won't highlight any of them....anything I can do to fix that?
Thanks. |

That almost sounds like standard behavior, except that it should be operating on first-found rather than "umm, I don't know which one you want so I'm not doing anything".
Perhaps add in room description or exits? My guess is that you'll want to narrow down your search field to eliminate this situation. |

Can I limit the mapquery to the current zone using something like
AND [ZoneID] = %zonenum( )
in the mapquery....just not sure of the syntax
what I am going for is highlighting all possible rooms a person could be in....if they are in a room called "The Road" I want to see where ALL of those rooms are on my map. |

should be able to. I don't know how to do it, either, though.

Wow, you have got that working by pure chance. The syntax that you are using for #PATHHIGH is incorrect.
Try something like this instead:
| Code: |
#CLASS {Locate}
#TRIGGER {^%w%s~- (*)} {
#FORALL %mapquery(%concat("[Name] = '", %1, "'")) {
#NOOP %roomcol(%i, "red")
}
} "" {notrig}
#CLASS 0
|
#PATHHIGH was only working because it was highlighting the path from the room that you gave it to itself, since "path" is an invalid path string. When you gave it a stringlist of rooms, instead of just one, then it didn't accept that as a valid room number and did nothing.
What you need to do is to loop through the results of %mapquery and color each of those rooms. That's what the script above does. I eliminated the variable, since it isn't actually needed, and changed the way %mapquery was being called, to make it more compatible with the way strings are handled in CMUD.
Finally, as TonDiening mentioned, you could change the script to store the results of %mapquery in a variable, so that you may later loop through it and return all of the rooms to their original colors. |

Thanks..but a couple of things...first, that script does nothing to my map. Secondly about 90% of my map is color coded based on a system I have and I am VERY warry of changuing colors with a script like that. As far as #pathhigh goes...there may be a bug in it, but that bug is EXACTLY what I want...maybe I should request it for CMUD 
| Code: |
| #pahthigh <any text> 646 |
highlights the room 646 on the map....starnge that if I take out the <anytext> part and just put
nothing happens....and the text can be ANNYTHING...letters, punctuation, numbers etc.
I have zmapper also and I have been told that there is a way to highlight certain rooms using that, but havent been able to figure out how.
I also thought (using the #pathhigh "bug") that if I tried using #forall
| Code: |
| #forall @locations {#PATHHIGH path {%mapquery( {Name = '%1'})}} |
or something like that might work...anyway thanks for all the help with this...any more suggestions are welcome. |

Try this
#ALIAS test {#var location {};#forall @locations {#additem location {%walk( %i)}};#FORALL @location {#PATHHIGH %i}}
#VAR location {.9w6nw2nw|.4n3w|.10w2s4wn|.15w5nw3n2w}
#VAR locations {3133|3063|3108|2730}
I'm assuming of course that you already have a way of populating the locations var

#VAR location {} {}
#VAR locations {} {}
#VAR room_to_find {} {}
"test gemstone" searches the current zone for anything with gemstone in the room name (The Gemstone, Path outside the Gemstone, etc...) gives me 4 results and highlites the paths
#ALIAS test3 {#var location {};#var locations {};room_to_find = %replace( %0, ', %);#additem locations {%MAPQUERY( {Name LIKE '%@room_to_find%' AND ZONEID LIKE '%zonenum( )'})};#FORALL @locations {#PATHHIGH path %i}}
#VAR location {} {}
#VAR locations {} {}
#VAR room_to_find {} {}
which utilizes the bug (maybe it IS a nice bug after all) will highlite just the 4 rooms |

Me? god? heck no. I just took what you had, took what I use for my speedwalk script and merged them :-)
Took me an hour to figure it all out.
Thanks for the compliment tho. I might have a use for this myself. |
