exit command
|
is there a way to retrieve the name field (the exit command) for a given exit in a room, similar to %doorname?

You can with the advanced COM interface in CMUDPro:
| Code: |
| %map.GetRoom(id).Exit("direction").Command |
As far as I can tell, there's no way with the standard zScript functions.
EDIT: This code is probably the best you can do with standard zScript functions, though it isn't foolproof:
| Code: |
$destination = %roomlink($id, $direction)
#forall %roomexit($id) {#if (%len(%i) > 1 and %item(%roomportal($id, %i), 2) = $destination) {// %i is likely the name.}} |
This wouldn't necessarily work if there's more than one exit to the same room. You could come up with a better way to check if the exit is a normal direction or a custom command than checking the length too, I just threw this together quickly. |

I tried the zscript method without any results, i assume the #IF failed somehow...
How would i incorperate the COM method into this?
| Code: |
<trigger type="Command Input" priority="600" trigontrig="false" id="9">
<pattern>^(%w)$</pattern>
<value>#IF (%reversedir( %1)) {
lastDir=%reversedir( %1)
#if (@hidden) {sneak %1}
}
</value>
</trigger>
|
Essentially, i want to tag a 'sneak' to the beginning of any special exits.
On a related note... is there a way to add to the mapper queue by script?
I added sneak east to the east direction (and so on to all the basic cardinal exits), but i don't want to have to add all the 'sneak special' exits as well. |

Not sure I understand what you want exactly... something like this?
| Code: |
| #if (%map.CurRoom().Exit(%1).Command) {sneak %1} |
That'll send, for example, sneak east if the east exit has a name set.
You can add to the mapper queue with #queue, but that might not be enough, if you don't add the special exits to the mapper too it might not track properly. |

#QUEUE seems to sent the actual command into the system like a path
that is not what i want
i want the mapper to think i have already sent the command, thereby keeping my place on the map correct when the room description pops up
as for the rest, this works
#if (%map.CurRoom().Exit(%1).Command) {sneak %map.CurRoom().Exit(%1).Command} {sneak %1} |

You mean just tell the mapper to move you in a certain direction, without adding it to the queue? Something like this should work:
| Code: |
$destination = %roomlink(, $exit)
#if (!$destination) {$destination = %item(%roomportal(, $exit), 2)}
#te $destination |

but that overlooks all of my potential #NODIR triggers, just because i send the command doesnt mean i succeed.

%roomexit returns the exit list with the "name" field instead of a direction, if it exists, otherwise it uses the direction field. Take note that it returns a string list of directions. It works this way because each time you enter the dummy direction, CMUD substitutes it with the name field. This allows portals and custom exits to work.
Also look at %roomlink and %roomportal. The combined use of these three functions gives you complete information of the exit configuration for a room.
e.g:
| Code: |
$exits = %roomexit($roomid) // Get the exit list
..
#FORALL $exits {
$room = %roomlink( $roomid, %i)
#IF (%null( $room)) {$room = %item( %roomportal( $roomid, %i), 2)}
// $room now contains the id or vnum for the room this exit leads to.
...
...
}
|
Above, %i contains either the direction or the contents of the name field.
You will find that both the dummy direction and the name will elicit the same information, which is as expected.
So, play around with it. Just add a named direction to a room and look at the output of the above functions.
Just remember that the %roomexit output will contain the name field as part of the returned stringlist. |

That part was already handled, but thanks for the input.
Now i just need to figure out how to make the mapper think i have sent the command when sneaking around, so the #LOC stays updated. |

My humble idea would be to create a temporary dir, just before sending your 'sneak $exitname' command. Something like this:
| Code: |
| #dir x %concat("sneak ",$exitname) nw |
You could #undir x it later, or probably even better leave it for overwriting. |

How about using #TELEPORT?

#TELEPORT and #MOVE both bypass my #NODIR triggers... if i cant spoof the mapper queue, maybe i will just have my #TAG for roomname do a #FIND when i am sneaking

Did you read my post? As far as I tested it, it should work.
