Collecting Weapons From Traps
« on: November 17, 2015, 11:18:58 pm »

Is it possible to take a weapon from a failed trap?

I just entered a tomb to take a look around, when a spear trap missed me. My traveling companion does not have a real weapon, and I would like to take the spear for him to use. Is it possible to remove the spear from the sprung trap? And if so, how?

not possible in vanilla but with something like DFhack you can disassemble traps and be able to do so.

Well, I do remember seeing one apparently fall apart in vanilla... So there's always that chance.

Does the walker chose the path, or the path the walker?

How would that happen? Temperature stuff?

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

I think the parts were all worn out...

Edit: I think it was a bronze sword and rose gold mechanism... Don't remember quality or wear levels.

I've seen it happen too. I think it was a crossbow trap that ran out of ammo? I don't know.
