Suggestion: Hand Rails
« on: September 09, 2008, 03:11:16 am »

Constructable 'Hand Rail', can be built on any floor or next to any floor, like a wall.

Can see through, can shoot through.

Stops any creature from falling off a floor in that direction

Made out of Stone/Wood/Metal

Mostly for aesthetics and stopping stupid dwarves from dodging off your awesomeo 1 tile long bridge.

How is this different from a fortification, except in name?

EDIT: well. you cannot build fortifications on a gameobject_Bridge, but there's got to be some drawback to the ability to raise/drawback the bridge, instead of constructing it from static floors?

A fortification is like a block of stone with a slit in it to shoot arrows.


This is like an iron bar at waist-height.

Also, this doesn't block enemies shooting at you.

Doesn't a Grate do this already?

I'd like em as long as they don't occupy the entire tile. Probably not technically possible

Wonder if I should use grates or iron bars for my balcony project

Yeah, grates or bars serve essentially the same function that a handrail would anyhow.
