[2.14] Trouble using the zMapper plugin
|
I know there was a post about this with 2.13, but I can't find it. The procedure involved here is obviously performing tests with invalid data. The same results occur with a valid map though.
1. Launch CMud
2. Close Sessions window (ESC)
3. Open Mapper window (CTRL-M)
4. Enter at the command line
| Code: |
| #SHOW %map;#SHOW %map.CurRoom |
You will see that the %map displayed, but attempting to access the CurRoom method causes a small hang. ESC can be used to break this hang. I have also seen this hang resolve itself after a period of time on occasion, but the duration of the hang is unpredictable. |

Confirmed and added to bug list. The problem is that %map is a COM variable and this can only be accessed from the main thread. And currently CMUD access all variables from within the thread that is running from the script. So I think I just need to tell CMUD that %map isn't threadsafe to get it to execute in the main thread where COM is available.
