[3.06] Room Description Variable
 
Is there a variable or function that returns the room description that is being received from the mud that cmud uses to check against the room description stored in the mapper?
For example if the room description i just received from my mud is:
Quote:
At the northeast corner of Dragon Square, well worn cobbles lead north,
into the Dragon Tooth Inn, and east, through the meagre doorway of the
infirmary. The city square spreads out, south and west, ringed with an
assortment of shops. A glittering draconic statue rises from a fountain to
the southwest.

and the room description that is stored in the mapper is

the southwest. And there's an extra big jug of throm guano here

I understand how to access the description that is stored in the mapper via %roomdesc (which is the second quote above), but what is the variable that holds room description that I just receved from my mud that cmud would compare against the description stored in %roomdesc..???? I think this would be helpfull in troubleshooting some of my current mapper problems.

There is none. You can't get at that information. To do something similar to what you want to do, I have a trigger designed to store the room description to a variable, but that is dependant on having some way to automatically recognize and trigger on a room description.

Crying or Very sad
Ok thanks. I was hoping to see exactly what cmud was picking up, that way I could troubleshoot where my problems were....

Indeed it would be very nice to have a few predefined variables holding the most recent room data detected..
