Approximately how long after a pressure plate is stepped on will it's effects happen? For instance, I have a pressure plate. Two squares away is a pit trap linked to the plate. Will that work at all?--Tarsier 22:50, 7 November 2007 (EST)
- Well, consider the fact that different creatures move at different speeds, the trap may be too fast or too slow for them, or it might be just right, you can't be sure until you test it. Have some captured goblin run through it and have a cage trap a little further in case they make it through alive. If i were you, I would make at least 2 tile long pit trap. --Digger 23:28, 25 February 2008 (EST)
More detailed instructions?
Might be worth adding to the article instructions on common operations with pressure plates. For example, how do you use a plate to close a floodgate? Does the plate open, close or toggle the gate? Should it be set to activate when the water/magma level is low or high? etc. Runspotrun 15:37, 27 November 2007 (EST)
- Heh. Just figured it out. Is it correct? Runspotrun 17:00, 27 November 2007 (EST)
