New.room

The new.room command switches the game to a new room. There is an indirect version of this command called new.room.v.

new.room(roomNumber);

The following things happen automatically when this command is issued:

• All objects are unanimated.
• All resources except logic 0 are discarded (removed from memory).
• The player.control command is executed.
• The unblock command is executed.
• The horizon is set to 36.
• v1 (previous room number) is set to the value of v0 (room number)
• v0 (room number) is assigned roomNumber
• v16 (ego view number) is set to the view number assigned to ego.
• The logic for the new room is loaded (logic roomNumber).
• If ego was touching an edge of the screen, it is placed on the opposite side.
• Flag 5 (new room flag) is set (the flag is reset after the first cycle in the new room).
• Execution jumps to the start of logic 0.

 

Parameters

For new.room

• roomNumber: a number, 0-255, specifying which room to switch to

For new.room.v

• roomNumber: a variable, v0-v255, whose value specifies which room to switch to

Possible errors

• the logic resource must exist, or the game will crash with a logic not found error

Examples

The following code goes to room 25 if ego is touching the left edge of the screen:

Code:

#define ego_edge_code v2
#define left_edge      4

if (ego_edge_code == left_edge)
{
    new.room(25);
}

The next example accomplishes the same task with new.room.v:

Code:

#define ego_edge_code v2
#define left_edge      4

if (ego_edge_code == left_edge)
{
   v202 = 25;
   new.room.v(v202);
}
