Mapping, "Other" Link
 
Hi,

I have my links mapped to as "Other" link with a command.

I was wondering if there was a command to execute the "Other Com" without needing to type it out?

There is alot of rooms with pass words. It is annoying to go into room property to see the pass words and inputing it.

Thanks.

Change them to one of the available directions in that room, and leave the information in the OtherCom field. When you enter that direction the value in the OtherCom field is autmatically sent instead.

Are these passwords that all lead into the same room (A to B, A to C, A to D, etc), or something more general (A to B, B to C, C to D, etc)? The latter is easily handled with the advice given by Vijilante, but in the former situation you will have to provide either an #alias or a #portal as the mapper only looks for the first link in a given direction (thus, in a room with two EAST exits--the first being a standard EAST direction and the second with GO DOOR as the Other Com, trying to travel east from this room will always send the EAST command and never the GO DOOR command). Most of these situations aren't critical, but sometimes you just need a specific command to get to a specific room leading in the same direction from the same room.
