Urist McRetard refuses to stand on the proper side.
« on: September 25, 2010, 12:26:26 pm »

A floor needs to be channeled. He decides it would be smart to stand on the side thats going to fall 30 Z levels into a magma pipe. I cancelled it in time, but nothing I do keeps him from being a frakking idiot.

1) The old designate a wall and then suspend it trick doesn't work.
2) Setting an absurd high pathing cost to go to the wrong side doesn't work.
3) Burrow doesn't work. He refuses to go to the burrow.

What do I do? I don't really want to have to sacrifice a dwarf for no reason, even if he is a moron.

Make sure the last support is always on the left side.

Just build the wall there. Channeling doesn't work like building sonstruction. If they can path to the left side, they will channel from the left side.
