Set-Dwarf passable doors
« on: April 28, 2012, 12:53:52 pm »

To be able to make a door only passable for a certain dwarf, that way your dwarfs can ensure noone else goes in their rooms, and you could lock them in and have dedicated dwarfs that are allowed to go out the fortress to get supplies

rite?


Also a Foreign Minister to control immigration policy, immigration gets silly at times  :-\

I have a "Wrong Turn" style fort. With only 1 dwarf. Anyone who comes to the fort gets killed and "eaten" (me releaseing good food as the corpse is dumped into magma). It's pretty fun. Game needs cannabalisum so I can make this for real.

I had a similar idea. Restricted zones, with 3 options: military only, nobles and visiting dignitaries only, and specified dwarves only. I realized this might be a good idea after I almost got tantrum-spiraled since Urist McLooter, Kivish McCorpsehauler and Monom McWoodcutter all got themselves killed running around on the surface in the middle of a 2-squad gobbo ambush.

I guess these problems are intended to be solved with burrows.

I'm pretty sure this falls foul of the pathing system; I can't be certain without an exact quote, but from memory all entities use the same pathfinding map. If you have a door passable to just a single dwarf, all the other dwarves will keep walking into it (repeatedly if it's the sole way through). Basically, it would be just like keeping doors closed to pets.
