Getting room area from mapper

Post by deus ex machina »

I'm not sure if this is possible, but it'd be great if it is.

This is what I'm trying to do:
On scry or angel seek or such things, you can get a room name. I'd like to search the mapper for the area name to include it in the reporting. For instance, I'd like:

Name (1000h, 1000m) is at "room name" with Blah, Derp, and Herp.

to be:
Name (1000h, 1000m) is at "room name" (area name) with Blah, Derp, and Herp.

I can't find a function in the IRE mapping script to return just the area (or most likely area).

Thanks, I was looking in the mapper's help (extremely lacking), not Mudlet's.

You were looking in the mapping script's help. The mapper script just makes use of those functions to make the mapper work for that particular MUD - it's not entitled to repeat every function that's in Mudlet, just it's own (if necessary) that it provides.

tl;dr: you were looking in the wrong place, look at the Mudlet API instead
