Execution Chamber Questions
« on: October 20, 2008, 10:06:35 pm »

Hello. Today I have several questions related to the execution of prisoners and stuff.

1: Can a prisoner walk ON its restraint or only within the 1-tile radius?
2: How does distance work with the 1 tile radius? Is it a cube (e.g. can be within 1 x tile and 1 z tile), or is it like a cube with the 4 corners cut off?
3: Assuming 1 works, what would happen to a prisoner when a chain was next to a retracting bridge and the bridge were removed? Would the prisoner fall or be suspended in air? The idea is to have prisoners hang like the scum they are.

1; Yes.
2; Cube.
3; Uhh, when I had a dog launched in the air from being chained outside the drawbridge when it was drawn upward... It was launched into the air, flung into the moat, got out, and stood next to its restraint.

That was upwards though, I'm unsure about downwards. Trial and error, my friend.

One of the several things that often gets DF branded as a roguelike is that the random number generator can always find some way to screw you over.

3: I had a cow chained next to a set of stairs once. The cow walked down the stairs and "hung around" the spot directly underneath where she was chained.
