Directions.mac

Description

• Directions to/from various places of interest. Kiriel's code is for Devil's Island.

Dependencies

• Depends on none. Used by AlternateDefault.

Usage

• Save text from code section into a file called directions.mac to your /clanlord/data/macros folder.
• Use in game by typing: /dir <Area> <Location>
  • Example: /dir DI pit

Noteworthy Techniques

• Modified Kiriel's Devil's Island didir to make generic so one call with a parameter will call appropriate directions
• Can add additional directions for additional areas by adding another option for first parameter checked in dir and filling in appropriate calls for the locations included.

Credits

• Kiriel D'Sol Devil's Island
