any chance of having ASH or CLI commands to trigger the two solvers, as we had with the old NS tower? It would be nice to be able to handle these more efficiently for users.

Thanks!

You mean in your scripts. Yeah, I suppose. I never use scripts to adventure, so the menu bar is exactly what _I_ need, but I suppose we could have CLI commands/ASH functions.

Even though this is marked Implemented, I never did anything with this. So, bump.

Theraze said:
I could make a separate FReq if you'd prefer. Since this thread is marked done, it should probably either get marked as not done or we could have that other thread.

Thanks for not just letting it die. It's appreciated.

Why don't you make another FR, please. I'm about to ascend into a Standard run, so I'll be back in the tower in a few days and will be able to do this - and actually test.

New FReq as requested. To put the specific FReq into complete words, the request is to be able to trigger the hedge maze solver (in its various implementations) and the new 6-key door unlocker using either a CLI command or ASH. Both would be nice if possible; CLI is good for people who just like to type stuff in and ASH is good so that we could see whether we're done and it completed successfully and we should move onto the next step, or if we should abort and let the user take care of it without additional wasted server hits. Thanks!

Revision 15676 does this.

CLI:

maze [arg]
door

ASH:

hedge_maze( string )
tower_door()

The string argument for the maze can be one of:

traps - 4 turns, all traps
gopher or duck - 7 turns gopher and duck
chihuahua or kiwi - 7 turns chihuahua and kiwi
nugglets - 10 turns, all nugglets

I have tested this once:

> ash hedge_maze( "traps" )

You are currently in room 0 and it will take you 4 turns to clear the maze.
Entering the Hedge Maze...

You lose 206 hit points

[880] The Hedge Maze (Room 9)
Encounter: Mazel Tov!
You lose 209 hit points
Hedge Maze cleared!
Returned: true

> ash tower_door()

I'll try the CLI commands, next time through the tower. I expect they will work...
