I need a script that goes through every room in my map database: if an exit has a door, but no specific name, I want the script to set the doorname to "door". Any suggestions?

Thanx.

You can simply set a default in the Strings and Doors section of the mapper config. In fact dafault setting for it is door, you may just have to change a %1 to %2 in that section to get it to use it.

That works fine, yes - as long as I don't try to do
#var doorn %doorname( , n)

That variable will be empty if there is no given doorname, and as far as I can tell - there is no way to retrieve data on wether or not an exit has a door.

If there IS a way to get zmud to cough up the exit-type - plz let me know.

Regrettably there is no way to detect a door dorectly within zScript. If you have zMapper it is easily doable. If you don't then it is quite a bear to work through the ADO interface and understand the underlying database. Perhaps Zugg can be convinced that %doorname is somewhat useless without an ¡Ö%isdoor¡Ö function. This is the main reason I didn't give a script solution to setting all doors, I didn't want to find out the wrong way that it would set non-door exits too.

Oooh! zMapper can do it? I have it - np - now how do I do it in zMapper?

You have to read the help in zMapper for Using zMapper with zMud. Within zMud you access the map object with %map. I couldn't quite seem to get it to work before writing this, might be a beta issue.
