This issue needs to be closed and there is no appropriate status, so will set it to "Opinion" just for migration purposes. ** Bug watch added: github.com/Mudlet/Mudlet/issues #775 https://github.com/Mudlet/Mudlet/issues/775 ** Changed in: mudlet Status: New => Opinion -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mudlet Makers, which is subscribed to Mudlet. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1407705 Title: No getter for "player location" Status in Mudlet: Opinion Bug description: Whilst contributing to the forums http://forums.mudlet.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4680 I noted that although we have a lua command to set the map viewing point a.k.a. "player room" with centerview(<roomID>) there is NO way for lua scripts to find out what the room currently is. This forces scripts to maintain their own local copy and to push that out in order to ensure things are in sync. This leads to the potential for confusion for the user if not done correctly, especially on start up. I propose that we should have a lua getCenterView() {note usage of CamelCase compared to "centerview"} that returns the current value {of (Host *)->(TMap *)->mRoomId} or the signal value of either 0 which is what this variable will have if not previously set or nil if there is no map loaded (with a secondary diagnostic about that as per current Mudlet Lua "guidelines"!)
