Cage Traps

(1/1)

Leonidas:
1) If the first monster entering the fortress is caught in a cage trap, does the second walk over the cage and scoot on down the hall?2) If a creature with a ranged attack is caught in a cage trap, can he still shoot?3) Can creatures ever free their comrades from cage traps?

Mechanoid:
1. Yes. Cage traps trigger only once, and then they need to be reloaded.
2. No, only when released do they start to shoot.
3. No. In fact, even dwarves won't release creatures from cages directly. They need to be hooked up to a lever and opened that way.[ September 12, 2007: Message edited by: Mechanoid ]

flight:
Dwarves can release creatures from cages directly so long as they are not hostile (by unassigning the creature in the cage). If they are hostile there is all kinds of trouble transferring them between cages and such, and it is just easier to use the level method.
