How to lock a door/hatch?
« on: March 20, 2012, 12:03:30 pm »

Im making a dungeon in fortress mode for adventurers, and one thing i need is to lock doors and hatches so that the adventurer cannot just open them, linking a lever to them will work?

Also is the state of levers be saved when i abbandon the map (ON levers remain ON and OFF levers remain OFF)?

Linked objects in fortress mode retain their properties even in adventure mode, so I guess you can use levers and the like. Not sure if the pressure plate works.

Also, I guess abandoned forts retain the state of the levers to what you set it before it's abandoned.

Thank you for all the fish. It was a good run.

Just to be sure, can an adventurer pass through a door/hatch that is linked to a lever in OFF state?

Nope, the lever has to be on.

Adventurers seem to be able to pick locks, or just bash in doors, anyway.

Jam a door with its corpse and let all the goblins in. Hey, nobody said it had to be a weapon against your enemies.
