Floor hatches of death
« on: March 24, 2015, 11:27:35 pm »

Is there any way to open those DAMN floor hatches on top of goblin towers? Goblins open it, companions have no trouble doing the same, but player character has to jump off the building to leave it.

I tried everything - adv. interaction, interact with furniture, Shift+<, nothing works. The only way to get it open is to wait on top of the hatch until someone else opens it.

Let's say the floor below is like this:

O
^
v

So you had to careful move up into the column to go up top right?
So the floor with the hatch is:

@ < - gotta stand here and careful move downwards
(c) this should give the options a: move to hatch, b: move to upward ramp below

That works, but only for a second or so before hatch shuts closed. Is there any way to open already closed hatch?

Alt+move into closed hatch places the character directly on it. It is impossible to go down using careful move.

Z + 0:


Z - 1:


*careful move towards the hatch, I've got my "careful move east" binding set to shift+numpad 6/->, but it's the same as doing alt+move that way*

*hit b*

New Z + 0:

You should be able to do it with Ctrl+Number (move ____ /down) directions as well, avoiding the move carefully selection.

Haha, yeah those are a pain it took me awhile before I found out you can alt-move onto them so what I did was I jumped off the building... normally didn't end well..
