I have a problem that I can't figure out.

I want a trigger to take me to a room with a certain criteria in it when it fires. (Basically it should take me to the closest "safe room".)

So far on my maps I have used color to mark safe rooms. But I am open to use anything. I could even mark down all safe rooms as having cost 23 to enter, or really any field. Just as long as a hp trigger can take me to the closest of the designated rooms.

Preferably in basic zmud, but at worst I will get zmapper.

I really, really want this. (And more people must have thought of it, and a thousand other uses for somethign similar.)

Here's something to get you started. I didn't try to test it. It assumes that each of your safe rooms has been an id with the word "safe" and a sequential number, i.e. safe1, safe2, safe3... , safe34, safe35.

If you've broken up your map into zones, you can put the variable @number_of_safe_rooms in the zone script section of map properties.




#ALIAS gosafe {


  closest_room = ""


  least_cost = 999999


  #LOOP @number_of_safe_rooms {


    safe_room = %concat("safe",%i)


    this_path = %remove(".", %walk(@safe_room))


    this_room = %roomnum


    path_cost = 0


    LOOP %len(@this_path) {


      next_room = %roomlink(@this_room, %copy(@this_path, %i, 1))


      path_cost = @path_cost + %roomcost(@next_room)


      this_room = @next_room


      #IF (@path_cost > @least_cost) {#ABORT}


      }


    #IF (@path_cost < @least_cost) {closest_room = @safe_room; least_cost = @path_cost}


    }


  #WALK @closest_room


  }
