You think you've got problems?

On the other hand, at least if I guess I've got a reasonable chance of doing something.

And now, back to balancing JtRH on my nose. Hopefully this will update the list.

I can guess the last three!

*Matt leaks spoiler about hidden JtRH feature onto forum (Matt)
*Erik yells at Matt and makes him delete his post (Matt/Erik)
*Matt apologizes to forum and tries to make it sound that the leaked features aren't in (Matt)



No, I'm just kidding. Matt's a cool guy and he's kows that. You know that too. Don't deny it!

Well, I can't do the first one because I can't really think of anything I haven't spoiled yet, and I can't do the second one because Erik's not around.

But I can verify that pressure plates are, in fact, not in. Sorry for misleading you.

Who needs pressure plates?

Character + toggle orb in unreachable corner.

Character script:
If door is closed and square is occupied, hit the orb
If door is open and square is unoccupied, hit the orb.

The only advantage real pressure plates would have over this is with monster move order. (eg one roach walks onto the plate, which opens the door, which enables a second roach to go through - all on the same turn.)

There is a slight problem with this, however.

Characters only move after monsters and spawners do, which would mean that you won't be able to get the effect of a simultaneous opening of a gate when something steps on the "plate"

No matter when the characters move, there can be situations when it won't appear to happen immediately. But the gates will also close one move later than they should, so it's work-aroundable if someone really wants to use them.
