Trouble with building my trap hallway
« on: November 23, 2007, 03:26:00 am »

First of all, by trap, i dont mean the built traps like weapon traps, i mean removable bridge over an open space.

I digged out a 1x10 hallway that goes from a stairway toward my leaders office. Then i digged out the space directly below it, but now im having trouble how to dig away the little space in between which apparently still exists.

Can anyone help show me how to do this? I want to build a bridge over the walk way, connect it to a lever, and retract it as the liaison walks over it, if that helps create a visual image.

if you hit d, then h

it'll designate an area to "channel", which digs a channel in the rock 2 z levels deep.  so if you dug an area below your hallway, you would still have the "floor" level, unless you channeled it.  if you pick that floor and channel, it'll go away and you can commence mass murder!  yay!
