room_goto_name(name)
This takes you into the room with the specified name (given as a string.) The return value tells whether the room exists or not.
var r;
for (r = room_first; r >= 0; r = room_next(r)) { // This is not room_goto_next()!
if (room_get_name(r) == argument0) {
room_goto(r);
return true;
}
}
return false; // The room was not found.Typical usage:name = get_string("What room do you want to go to?");
if (!room_goto_name(name)) {
show_message("No such room");
}room_goto_random()
This takes you into a random room.
var r, rooms, count;
count = 0;
for (r = room_first; r >= 0; r = room_next(r)) {
rooms[count] = r;
count += 1;
}
room_goto(rooms[floor(random(count))]);room_skip(n)
When n is a positive number, this function moves you n rooms forward (in the order of the room list.) So, room_skip(1) is identical to room_goto_next(), and room_skip(2) brings you to the next room of it. When n is negative, it goes to previous rooms. For example, use room_skip(-3) to go to the previous room but two. The return value indicates whether there was a room at the specified location or not.
var r;
r = room;
if (argument0 > 0) {
repeat (argument0) r = room_next(r);
}
else if (argument0 < 0) {
repeat (-argument0) r = room_previous(r);
}
if (room_exists(r)) {
room_goto(r);
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}Note: these functions won't work for dynamically added rooms. However, in such a case you may have your own list of room indices.
