Automapper auto-room labeling from trigger or alias
|
I looked through the commands and the functions, but I couldnt find anything that would allow me to auto create and post a room label from a trigger or alias... Is there a way to do this? It didnt look like room label properties were accessible outside of the room properties screens, thanks.

This can be done with the extended scripting capabilities of zMapper.

What exactly do you mean by room label?
Is it the Link Label that you set in the Exits tab of the Room Properties? Or is it a label you can draw near the room by right-clicking on it and selecting Label from the context menu? |

The label that you can draw in on the map itself. (also used as the short name for the room I think)
The one that can be centered, east, south, west etc...
Id like to be able to set a centered label using a trigger or an alias ( or a triggered alias as it were)
basically when Im mapping I sometimes drop coins to mark where Ive been, I have a loop that will drop however many coins I want, which will show up as 1 coin, 2 coins, 3 coins, etc...
Within that loop, or right after I would like it to automatically label the room with the amount of coins I dropped, saving me the time of clicking on the room and labeling it... |

You can use this alias to modify the label of a room:
#ALIAS setlabel {#VAR Conn %comcreate( "ADODB.Connection");#CALL @Conn.Open( "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=untitled.mdb");#CALL @Conn.Execute( "UPDATE ObjectTbl SET IDName = '%-3', LabelDir = %2 WHERE ObjId = %1");#VAR Conn ""}
You need to change the untitled.mdb in the alias to the path of your map DB. The syntax for the alias is:
setlabel roomKey labelDir labelText
The possible values for labelDir are:
0 = N
1 = NE
2 = E
3 = SE
4 = S
5 = SW
6 = W
7 = NW
10 = MIDDLE
11 = NONE
Also, once you change the label of a room, you will not see the change until the mapper refreshes. |
