I can't get contents added to a room in the mapper without manually clicking the Add Item to Room button in the database window--so I'm not able to use this function in any script.

I've tried to unlock the mapper with:

#EXE %maplocked(0)

And I've also tried to manually put the mapper into map mode before using the function:

#EXE %roomcontents(128he)

The help files says this will add record 128 from the Herbs database to the room current room. But nothing happens. Any suggestions?

Try (havn't tested this but the correct way to call a function is with #call)
#call %maplocked(0)
#call %roomcontents(128he)

Thanks. I got it to work with this:

#CALL %roomcontents(%roomnum,128he)

The help file for %roomcontents states that if vNum is omitted, 128he will be added to the current room. It doesn't appear to work like that, though. I had to use %roomnum to pull the current room number from the mapper.

Ahhhhh I didn't bother reading the help if the first value is optional there still has to be a comma there :P

#CALL %roomcontents(,128he)

Yikes, forgot the comma! How many scripts have I pulled my hair out over because of a comma!

Now I just have to figure out how to get this to add items to the room contents without creating duplicates.
