Mapper 'other' exits
 
I've try searching for this so sorry if its been asked, I either couldn't find it or didnt understand the the %roomlink-portal command good enough.

What am trying to do is:
1:create 1 way link
2:create 'other' links in a direction I want.

Example:
The Plains(s, path)

I want to create a room in the mapper leading 1 room to a room north of it using the direction reading as other 'path' and make it either 1 way or not
I want to create it using the command line instead of opening room properties/exits and manually typing it in, cause theres a bunch of swim (direction) I also plan on adding.

just use the normal north link and edit the name field in room properties exit tab to be the acutual exit command

That is the most efficient method I have found.
Yea, takes a bit of time to make the initial map, still saves time for every repeat visit.

Yea, gonna take a bunch of time.. last question and I hope its possible, in the mapper in the 'other' can you set its as a variable?

Say I want 'other' to be 'test1'
Can I make @test1 somehow and just set the value?

You can. Just put @test1 in the Other Com field.
