SymStairwayclass
A SymStairway is aingle object representing a stairway up from its lower end and a stairway down from its upper end. At the minimum we need to point a direction property of the room at one end of the SymStairway to point to the SymStairway and define the SymStairwa’s room2 or destination propety to be its other end.
If the SymStairway is defined on the up or down property of either of its ends, either directtly or indirectly, then this extension can work out which end of the Stairway is which (even if the up or down property points to the SymStairway indirectly via an asExit() macro) Otherwise game code needs to define at least one of the SymStairway’s upperEnd or lowerEnd properties to point to the appropriate room.
[THE SYMCONN EXIENSION must be present in your project if you want to use a SymStairway]
