Floor that can't be spawned on.

I know that there are already open doors and trapdoors but they are not enough in all situations. If there's a tunnel with doors on the sides, roach queen inside (spawning in tunnel not allowed) and the player needs to go through twice, you can't use open doors or trapdoors to fill the tunnel.

Pick any one of these and it could be done.
Mostly earlier suggestions on this board.

1. Spawnless floor
It could be used to fill the tunnel

2. Another set of "yellow doors".
Same as above, but could be used as doors too.

3. Monster that moves like roach queen, but doesn't spawn
The tunnel could be regular floor in this case.

4. Two-time trapdoors.
Trapdoors that drop after you walk over them twice.

In the next version of Drod, doors won't be connected diagonally. I believe this will also enable what you want.

However, I think you can already get what you want with the current version of DROD by using a tunnel, open doors, and force arrows. Just point the force arrow in a direction where it doesn't interfere with movement (i.e. perpendicular to the direction of the tunnel).

Incidentally, you can often get the same effect as two-time trapdoors by putting two trapdoors next to each other. The first time through, Beethro steps on one trapdoor, and the second, he steps on the other.

Thanks, I didn't realise, I could fill the tunnel with force arrows pointing at walls.
