Not sure how to do this, but I was wondering if you can use %roomlink to make one way links?

#noop %roomlink(X,N,Y) will make a two way n-s link

Nope, you cannot. With ZMapper or COM calls to an external interface (ie, MS Access) you should be able to, though it involves lots of COM since you can't do it directly via Zscript.

Does roomlink only work with cardinal directions or directions you create with zMUD?

I'm really new to com but if one could use directions you make yourself perhaps something like the following:

#va DoCom {something * from ExitTbl where name = 'CUSTOM EXIT'}} <-- not sure what to do here. I'll look into it.
#va OpenLocation {Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0%char( 59)Data Source=MAPLOCATION}
#va ConnectType %comcreate( "ADODB.connection")
#call @ConnectType.Open(OpenLocation)
#call @ConnectType.execute(@DoCom)
#call @ConnectType.close

maybe like

select * from ExitTbl where name = 'custom exit'

hmm, more looking!

Does ExiIdTo -1 say it's one-way?

There are a number things that you have to set to do oneway links through direct manipulation. It is much better to just get zMapper and use its interface.
