OnRoomCreate Event problem
|
Just checking to see if this is me. Playing Achaea, using ATCP to get room name information. By using the script debugger, I can verify that Room.Brief is being correctly detected and I use another trigger to assign it to the variable roombrief. Then I'm trying to use the OnRoomCreate event to have the mapper color the room based on the room name like so:
| Code: |
#SWITCH (@roombrief)
("Grasslands") {#CALL %roomcol( , greenyellow)} |
and so on and so on.
The problem is, when I create a new room with the room name Grasslands the mapper is not coloring the room. Using the #CALL at the command line works fine, so I believe that part of the script has no problems. The script debugger is telling me that the event is being raised to create the room. Also, I have the variable roombrief set as a literal string value.
Any ideas on why my mapper doesn't automatically color? |

Try some basic debugging procedures:
| Code: |
#DEBUG {%concat("onRoomCreate - roombrief = '",@roombrief,"'")}
#SWITCH (@roombrief)
("Grasslands") {
#DEBUG {onRoomCreate - Grassland selected}
#CALL %roomcol( , greenyellow)
} |

Hmm, this is what the debugger gives for that. Don't know if I used it right. I just had the debugger open and enabled and entered the above into the command line.
| Code: |
0.0009 | c Achaea | [1] Achaea Comline : start :
0.0014 | Achaea |onRoomCreate - roombrief = 'Grasslands'
0.0003 | Achaea |onRoomCreate - Grassland selected
0.0007 | d Achaea | [1] Achaea Comline : stopped |

It is good to know what I posted works correctly at the command line.

Now how about putting it into your OnRoomCreate event to figure out what is going wrong there. Basic debugging procedure is to make sure that the problem line, '#CALL %roomcol...', is indeed getting executed. After that then we can consider either the reasons it wasn't called executed when we expected it to be, or why it didn't work when executed. So far you haven't provided which of those is actually occurring in the event.

| Code: |
0.0031 | a Achaea #Telnet 200: Room.Brief Southern Vashnars
0.0015 | f Achaea | Telnet: ^Room.Brief\s+(.*)$ : (%1="Southern Vashnars")
0.0007 | c Achaea | exec : Telnet "2" : #VAR roombrief %1
0.0002 | a Achaea #Telnet 200: Room.Exits n,ne,e,se,s,sw,w,nw
0.0020 | a Achaea |3681h, 2682m, 17305e, 11095w ex-
0.3214 | m Achaea | Event "onRoomCreate" raised
0.0003 | m Achaea | Event "onRoomEnter" raised
|
So, in the first two lines it finds Southern Vashnars as Room.Brief. In line 3 it assigns it to roombrief. In line 6, the mapper is creating the room and it says it raised the event, but nothing. The first line of the event code is DEBUG {%concat("onRoomCreate - roombrief = '",@roombrief,"'")} as above. |

Well, I added my script into the trigger for the roomname, and it worked up until the #call to color the room (of course since the room hadn't been created on the mapper yet). So I'm thinking that even though onRoomCreate is being raised, that it isn't executing. Bug?

It looks that way. Double check the spelling of your event name to be sure. It is possible this is related to the last round of scoping changes, and will have to wait for Zugg to actually do the mapper rewrite in order for it to have a proper sense of scope.

Eureka! I figured out what was causing the event not to work. I had an event for onRoomEnter, and that despite the fact it didn't mess with the roombrief variable it was preventing onRoomCreate from firing. When I deleted onRoomEnter, onRoomCreate started executing.
EDIT: Tried making a new onRoomEnter event and both events executed properly. Still don't know why neither of them fired before. |
