Currently I've got triggers that set off a #find after I use a travel spell (to reposition myself on the map), and from that I move in a direction and back to trigger a room script for the room. Is there a cleaner way to do this?

You can use %roomcom to get the script for the room and then execute it. However, you would have to manually delete any settings created by the script.

Use #TELEPORT.

I forgot about #teleport, it'll work in specific cases when I use mud portals/travelling mobs to bump around. %roomcom takes a place with using #find though. Ended up making an alias to #find and set a 3 second alarm to execute any room scripts, calling the alias with the various generic travel triggers I use. (cant hurt to share reasonings, someone may benefit)

Thanks Kjata, Vijilante

What Vijilante was talking about, which I forgot about, is that you can #TELEPORT to the same room you are already in and the room script is executed.

So, #TELEPORT %roomkey() should do what you want if %roomode() is 1, #TELEPORT %roomnum() if %roommode() is 0, and #TELEPORT %if(%roommode(), %roomkey(), %roomnum()) should work regardless of mode.
