Hello there,

I'm trying to make a room parent, list the exits and contents along the same
line. The issue that I am coming across is that when their is more the one exit in
the room, it says the error #-1 NO SUCH OBJECT VISIBLE However, if their is
just one exit, then it list just fine. I don't understand why the room parent can
not see the exits.


[align(15 45 <15, [iter( [lvexits(%L)], [ansi(r,[name(##)])] %B \<[ansi(hc,[before
([after([fullname(##)],\;)],\;)])]%R,|,)], ,[iter(%1,itext(0)%R,|,)])]

Any help would be quite dandy, thank you in advance.

Also, this string is on the conformat attribute of the room parent.

My first thought for your error is that you're missing a space somehow between your returned dbrefs. So, with one exit you would be fine, but two objects would return like #1#2, rather than #1 #2, and return the object not found. Have you tried setting the object debug and following the trace?

Though I admit from skimming your code I don't immediately see where this would happen.

Also I would recommend removing all unnecessary brackets. In general you only need brackets where the preceding function would get confused if there wasn't one. However if there already is a delimiter, such as a comma, separating the two functions, a bracket is just extra visual and computational overhead.

A very simple example of what you want:



@conformat here=

@@ Make a list of comma-separated contents and store temporarily in a register @@

[setq(0,iter(%0, name(itext(0))\,))]

@@ Make a list of exits @@

[setq(1,iter(lvexits(%L), name(itext(0))))]

@@ Ensure the last element of our exit list ends with a period @@

[setq(2,edit(last(%q1),$,.))]

@@ Make sure we remove the last element of the exit list which has a comma, since we already created this element with a period @@

[setq(3,iter(reverse(rest(reverse(%q1))), itext(0)\,))]

@@ Print to the room description @@

Things: %q0 Exits: %q3 %q2


the code blob:

@conformat here=[setq(0,iter(%0, name(itext(0))\,))][setq(1,iter(lvexits(%L), name(itext(0))))][setq(2,edit(last(%q1),$,.))][setq(3,iter(reverse(rest(reverse(%q1))), itext(0)\,))]Things: %q0 Exits: %q3 %q2

btw, you would probably get more immediate help if you went to either M*U*S*H, or hunted down the WORA forums. TMC is great but not too many mush coders post here.
