Getting the mappers ID for a Vnum room
|
I have code set up to capture from gmcp the room vnum, which it also saves in my mapper correctly. Now, I have a bunch of Vnums that I want to color on the map, which I found %roomcol for, but it reacts to the mappers' numbers, not the Vnums. I've played around with %roomvnum and %roomnum to no avail.
I have a string database with vnums in there I want colored, and from what I experimented with my code looks somewhat like this
$rooms=2342|12313|5433|1232|5566
#forall $rooms {%roomcol(%roomvnum(%i),blue)}
but this does not color the rooms, and I've figured out that %roomvnum is giving me a different room number than what the appropriate Vnum is. Now, if I'm in the room, I can do %roomvnum() and it'll display the right number for the room I'm in, but that's as far as I got. I'm sure it's just something stupid I've missed, thanks for any help |

you need to toggle %maplocked if you want to color rooms via script

No no, it's not that it's not in edit mode, cause I do have the toggle before and after the script to toggle that. The coloring works properly, it's that the %roomvnum(Vnum) does not give me the associated mapper number for that room, but rather another ID that doesn't match anything I've seen.....

Try this... I haven't tested it though
$rooms=2342|12313|5433|1232|5566
#CALL %maplocked(0)
#FORALL $rooms {#CALL %roomcol(%roomnum(%i), blue)}
#CALL %maplocked(1) |

%roommode is what you need.
will set it to use the vnum factors and not the database keys. |

The big issue was likely the lack of #CALL-ing the functions.

No, the big issue was gmcp vnums vs database vnums. That's why %roommode is there. When you have it set to %roommode(1), where it's accessing the database keys, the results are far different from %roommode(0). Though you are right with the #FORALL loop needing the #CALL. Command lines cannot start with a function or a variable.
This is easily tested by creating a bunch of rooms, setting the vnums, and setting %roommode(0) and doing #TELE <vnum>, then doing %roommode(1) and repeating the #TELE command, unless you are extremely lucky and can match up database keys with the vnums. |

%roomnum returns the vnum, so i stand by referencing #CALL

Yep, got it working 100% once I switched the %roommode(0) it works perfectly with the vnums from the room now. Thank you guys!
