Landmarks

A landmark is a named shortcut to a room. Once saved, you can travel to it by name from anywhere on the graph. Landmarks are nexMap4-native and persist in your settings.

The nexMap4 Landmarks panel

Saving a landmark​

Saving captures the current room (or a room id you pass) along with its area and continent, under a name you choose:

nm mark home
nexMap.api.landmarks.add("home");
nexMap.api.landmarks.add("bank", { roomId: 315 });

Names are case-insensitive and unique — saving a name that already exists replaces the prior entry. Each landmark stores its id, name, roomId, areaName, and continent.

Traveling to a landmark​

nm goto home
nexMap.api.travel.toLandmark("home");

nm goto <name> resolves landmarks too, so it is usually all you need.

The Landmarks panel​

Open the shell on the Landmarks tab to manage everything visually:

nm marks        # opens the shell on the Landmarks tab
nm shell
nexMap.api.landmarks.list();          // also opens the panel
nexMap.api.system.openShell("landmarks");

The panel is a sortable table of every saved landmark with Room, Name, Area, and Continent columns. From here you can:

  • Add a landmark for the current room using the form at the top.
  • Travel to a landmark — click its row, or the ▶ button.
  • Delete a landmark with the ✕ button.

Removing a landmark​

nm unmark home
nexMap.api.landmarks.remove("home");   // by name…
nexMap.api.landmarks.remove(landmarkId); // …or by id

Where landmarks live​

Landmarks are part of the persisted settings document (settings.landmarks), written through nexMap.settings. Read the current list at any time:
