one way doors
« on: April 09, 2007, 01:36:00 pm »

One thing i really think would be helpful to have is an option to make doors have a one way only option instead of strictly locked/unlocked.

It'd be great for traffic control, keeping the stupid dwarves from running to haul the first wave of a seige's stuff away while the second one is about to charge, and if it was done right could probably be used for some very creative and interesting traps.

It would definitely be handy. I dug made a nice well / meeting room once, and then all the dogs and horses and mules went into it. The room was ridiculously crowded. I tried many things to keep the animals out of there, including making the doors dwarf-only (no animals). However, all this did was to trap the animals in there. Eventually I ended up removing the well, hoping it would make them leave. They started leaving, but when I tried to put the well back in I wasn't allowed (because there was a stupid channel there in its place, and channels cannot be destroyed or built on top of by any means known to man). I lost a whole room because of it.

I feel your pain.
