Walking to rooms with the same name
|
Hello,
On the MUD that I play, there are shrines in different rooms and zones in which to offer corpses to a God. However, if you give each the same name, the automapper will only walk to a specific room in the MUD, not the closest room with that name. Is there a way to get around this without having to name the differerent rooms different things?
Thanks,
Saigne |

You could use the vnums, but I don't do a lot of mapper work so I couldn't tell you how to set that up and get it working.

Then, however, I would have to know the VNUM for the closest shrine... That would be a little tricky.

You could just assign your own vnums (numbers of your choosing)? Doesn't really matter if it's the real vnum... Or, if all you are interested in is the Shrines, simply append the room names with -1 -2 -3 etc? You'd keep the room names essentially intact, while distinguishing betweeen them easily... (alternatively could put -(godname) or whatever, for even better distinction)?

It looks more like what he wants is a script with an alias like 'goshrine' and this script will calculate the closest shrine and use it.
Is there a way in a script to calculate # of steps to x from y in zmud? I'm sure there is, researching to see if i can write this, prolly some guru will beat me to it :P |

Use %len %pathexpand and %walk. You will likely have to scan the %roomid of rooms before hand (this can be done with %mapquery) and use vNums in your %walk. It would be a walk in the park for me, but it has actually been done many times before and searching the forums is a better answer.

Here's a script that works from what I've tested:
| Code: |
#CLASS {Walk Shrine}
#ALIAS walkshrine {
#VARIABLE walkroom {%item( @shrinelist, 1)}
#VARIABLE walklength {%numitems( %pathexpand( %walk( %item( @shrinelist, 1))))}
#FORALL @shrinelist {
#IF (%numitems( %pathexpand( %walk( %i))))<@walklength) {
#VARIABLE walklength {%numitems( %pathexpand( %walk( %i)))}
#VARIABLE walkroom {%i}
}
}
#WALK @walkroom
}
#VARIABLE walklength {}
#VARIABLE shrinelist {}
#VARIABLE walkroom {}
#CLASS 0
|
After you put it in, you'll need to populate the @shrinelist variable with all the vnums of all the shrines. After that, just "walkshrine" to automatically go to the closest one. |

I wanna adapt this to a gonext script and auto populate shrinelist(roomlist) from mapper lookup of roomnames via:
Kill at least 2 * A diva (Outside a great crack in the willow's trunk).
Kill at least 1 * Armus, the Oil Slick (A Commonly used Path ).
Kill at least 1 * the desk clerk of Hotel Royale (Entering Hotel 'Royale').
Kill at least 2 * a fisherman (A Castle).
Kill at least 1 * Larry (A Cold Path).
Kill at least 1 * a guard dog (The Midget's Tiny Trailer).
Kill at least 1 * the flowing water (Before a Waterfall ).
That would be spiffy on the mud i play if it will handle special directions, room scripts, doors, etc. |
