Hi,

I'm encountering a perplexing error when implementing a mapper modified from the realms of magic mapper example plugin.

When I type mapper goto <room num> to go to a room, it reports an error when reaching the destination. The following is some debug output.

What additional info can I provide that would be useful to try figuring this out? The most notable change I remember making is that exits are built lazily - it doesn't yet capture the exits line, but creates exits (and their inversses) as you move.

Location changed to room  14599   A vine covered temple
Fixing up exits
Moved from 14584 to 14599 in direction s
Current destination =  14599
Current return      =  14584
Fixed exit s from room 14584 to be to 14599

Fixed exit s from room 14599 to be to 50859
Speedwalk failed! Expected to be in '50859' but ended up in '50859'.

Just saw an instance of this happening while it is still on the way, and hasn't reached the destination.

You might start with the code.

Figured out the problem - i wasn't ensuring that my room uids was converted to strings, so it was comparing strings to numbers.
