[DoomRL] Level creation bug with switches

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.roguelike.misc (More info?)

In my latest game i found a switch burried in a wall. I could see it,
however, i could not reach it; i presume the wall tile was still there.

Oddly, this happened on one of those "lair" type rooms. You know, the
ones with all the blood, demons, and items inside of it? the switch was
on the *inner* wall, the wall that seperates the bloody section from
the outter, hallway-like section.

I dont think anything more can be done with switches, but to implement
specific switches which open and close specific invulnerable doorways
(which also presumes invulnerable walls) in a way acting like a
keycard... Yellow switch to Yellow door, Blue switch to Blue door, etc.

Anything else would probably be redundant in some way, as far as i see
it.

Ok, a bug, I'll see to it. BTW any new ideas for switches?

Argh.

Played another game and AGAIN it produced the "spawned switch in wall"
bug, but this time for a room filled with acid (from level-generation)

Yes, what about "fixed" switches that make impassable areas (lava/poison
rivers) passable, via a bridge or a teleport that yanks a character
across the obstacle?

At least it doesn't produce closed levels and acid over the edge of map :-D
