It slightly bothers me that if you want a character to appear from off in the room to the north, all you can do is make it appear at the north edge. Is there anyway to create a new scripting command that makes it so the character slides on like Beethro? Any at all? Maybe? Sorta? If you ever have time for maybe the fifth release or something?

Yeah, that's about it. :lol

It's just something I wanted off my chest really, ideas start festering in my head if I don't let them out.

I think the best corse of action would be to post them all in one giant heap(if you must) thus hopefully people can ignore the bad and comment on the good.

Well, right now, the Slayer just pops up at the edge.

If he doesn't walk into the rooms, I don't know what would.

Also note that this is strictly aesthetic and painfully minor :|

Based on the original post, I think Ezlo's quite aware of that, in fact. I agree, it'd be nice, though of course I also agree it's hardly a priority.

Well, okay, now let's say your wish has been granted, and the slayer walks in smoothly.

But now his hook appears out of nowhere :)

And of course, to solve that, we'll have to move his hook smoothly as well...

Well, I don't see that happening, as it means the hook has to be in the room a turn earlier. That would break lots of JtRH rooms.

Eh, your right. Didn't think it through all the way.

EDIT: Actually! You can have it all slide on at once and hope no one notices! :P
