<STRONG>There is a slight bug; in order to get bridges to fling properly, there must be a prime number of creatures on it, unless any of them have the [fling_resist] tag, in which case, there must be the square root of a prime number of creatures on the bridge, not counting fliers or 'moody' dwarves. That my not apply to versions 33c+ or a modified version of the 32.5n z-patch. you may want to reformat your drive and replace the motherboard, then reinstall DF using a different isp, possibly in another state (or province). Be sure that you are using a dvorak keyboard, or you will ruin it all.Or, set up your system to dual boot in ubuntoo linux, install wine, and create a wine script to initialize the frequency modulator in a counter-clockwise death spiral of doom.
Please don't take all that seriously, I don't mean a word of it.
What you really need to do is make sure your bridges are set to raise when opened, as opposed to retract. By default, bidges just dissapere when opened, but when you build them, pressing the waxd keys will cause it to raise and then fling thigs. Happy flinging!

A pressure plate linked up to a floogdate will send an ON signal to the floodgate when the plate is activated. ON signals cause floodgates to open. It will send an OFF signal when the plate resets. OFF signals cause floodgates to close.
If you want that to be reversed, I suggest using a raisable bridge instead of a floodgate in that area.
