Shimmering orb handling for mapper

Dunn

I know this hasn't been added just yet (perhaps in the future?), but this is a quick and dirty way for the Mudlet mapper to handle the shimmering orb city improvement. Bear in mind that this is only really needed if you have wings that you want to use from within a city with an orb active.

--in a trigger
Pattern (exact match): A shimmering orb covers the city, preventing you from rising to the skies.

if gmcp.Room.Info.area == "Ashtan" then --Change this to be your city
 if #mmp.speedWalkPath > 0 then
  local destination = mmp.speedWalkPath[#mmp.speedWalkPath]
  expandAlias("mconfig duanathar false")
  expandAlias("mconfig duanatharan false")
  mmp.echo(string.format("Remapping path to %d (%s)", destination, getRoomName(destination)))
  mmp.gotoRoom(destination)
 end
end

--in a script
mmp.remapPathOrb = function()
 if #mmp.speedWalkPath > 0 then
  local destination = mmp.speedWalkPath[#mmp.speedWalkPath]
  expandAlias("mconfig duanathar true")
  expandAlias("mconfig duanatharan true")
  mmp.echo(string.format("Remapping path to %d (%s)", destination, getRoomName(destination)))
  mmp.gotoRoom(destination)
 end 
end
 
mmp.createOrbTrigger = function()
 if orbTrigger then killTrigger(orbTrigger) orbTrigger = nil end
 orbTrigger = tempTrigger("Before the gate of Ashtan", [[mmp.remapPathOrb()]]) 
 --Change the "Before the gate of Ashtan" part to be the first room outside of your city
end
 
 
mmp.createOrbTrigger()

Note the comments. There's a couple of things you need to alter depending on your city.

Real pros just turn it off

Dunn

Real griefers leave it on, ya soft ass.

Deactivate/Duanathar/Activate ftw

Dunn

5.7s balance when I did that

Atalkez

Yeah activate has a bal hit, deactivate is free. What a world it would be if it was free all around

Selling MoS aide slots. 50cr per

I was super confused going into this thread wondering why you needed handling for an enchant that just hides a room from veilglance.

Dunn

Selling sunglasses!

I have an idea of how to put something a little more elegant into the mapper script, give me a couple of days to code and test

For those who've not yet downloaded the latest mapper script update, the functionality to handle Orbs of Confinement is now included, take a look at mconfig for orbashtan, orbcyrene, orbeleusis, orbhashan, orbmhaldor and orbtargossas.

That is wonderful. Thank you.
