Hi,

I've been attempting to figure out how to map a whole zone that is completely Other Style Exits. The other issue is that upon reboot of the mud the cells can change connections.

Example:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ixian Cells <<>> Cell Number: 134
/ <<** <<** <<** / In Beyond cells
/ (__)) (__)) (__)) /
/ /Blu// /Red// /Blu// / Blu CELL135 Multi Decell
/ (__)) (__)) (__)) / Red CELL117 Channel cell
/ / Blu CELL152 Multi Decell
/ / Blu CELL118 Multi Decell
/ <<** /
/ (__)) /
/ /Blu// /
/ (__)) /
/______________________/
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

CELL135, CELL117, CELL152, and CELL118 are the Exit Names.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<cmud>
<trigger priority="10300" copy="yes">
<pattern>^Ixian Cells <<>>%sCell Number:%s(%n)$</pattern>
<value>
#var ICTSCELL %1
#tag %roomname(,%concat("Cell Number: ",@ictscell))
#tag %roomdesc(,"")
#tag %roomid(,%concat("ICTS",@ictscell))</value>
</trigger>
</cmud>

I have this that fixes the room name.

But everything I've tried to automatically make links, where it creates the links based on the CELL###.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<cmud>
<trigger priority="10320" copy="yes">
<pattern>*%w CELL(%x) %w %w$</pattern>
<value>
#var CellExits %1
#tag exit
//#tag %roomlink(,other,%1)</value>
</trigger>
</cmud>

The pattern grabs the CELL###. I found that out by attempting to do #makeroom version. That made a huge mess though.

My attempt is to make it so I type "enter CELL135" and it'll create the room then add the new cell exits as Other so I can keep moving with it.

Is doing something like this even possible? I've tried a few different times before this attempt to no avail too.

Thank you for taking the time to read this .

Theoretically possible, yes. But not the way I would do it.

This very much makes me think of the movie/book Mazerunner.

Assuming there are a static number of configurations for the zone, you would want to map them all, and put each one in a separate zone (thisZone1, thisZone2, etc).
Then it is just a matter of figuring out which instance of the zone you are currently in upon entering.
