Better control over levers...
« on: October 28, 2010, 08:00:48 am »
Just a small idea. Have an option to design what happens when you pull a lever. So have a 3 second delay or something. It'd allow for even more complex traps.

Dwarf 1: This is the worst part... The calm before the battle.
Dwarf 2: And then the battle is not so bad?
Dwarf 1: Oh...right. I forgot about the battle.

 I support this.Would make pressure plate -> upward spike traps much more effective.

There was a time when cocksuits would have offended me. It's kind of bad that the time has passed.

you can already do lever -> event -> pressure plate -> desired delayed event.
Voila, very complex trap  8)

That would require tweaking the flow speed to get the right delay though.

Nah, you just increase the distance between the plate and the water source, right? Of course, I don't think that works as well for long delays due to evaporation, or really really short/accurate delays.
