Question Trigger of the Day - Push Button Teleport

I hope you don't mind a couple of questions about the trigger


what does the cls portion do?


and what is the purpose of setting the dest to 4300 and then calling it in the very next line?

These examples are meant to generate questions.

That cls should have been %force% %actor% cls to clear the actor's screen.

The %dest% variable was probably just Fizban's habit of using variables instead of numbers. In this case it isn't necessary but for longer and more complex trigs it would be easier to have a variable so you can use that for all the various echo's, echoarounds, etc. and then only have to change the one variable. I'm guessing he planned to make this for multiple floors at some point and %dest% would vary.

ah ok multiple floors and the variable would indeed make sense

yeah it does seem like a really smart practice, especially for finding the varible quickly if you want to adjust it for example

Well one thing that the %dest% variable could be really good for is displaying messages in the room that the elevator is stopping at - But I guess that would depend on the details of the zone, etc.
