Lever Triggering[edit]
If a lever is used, then it could be near the traps so that whoever pulls it will be the one who receives the training
This...doesn't seem to be entirely accurate. The trap cannot be placed on the same space as the lever, and dwarves will stand on the lever to pull it. It can be difficult to place things to make sure that he'll be standing on a trap when the delay ends, and if you set it to repeat, then the dwarf will just stand on the lever and pull it over and over, 100% safe from the trap itself. Am I doing something wrong?--Twilightdusk 03:35, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
- No, it's inaccurate. I'll revise it. --DeMatt 06:34, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
Dangerous Danger rooms?[edit]
I (in an unmodded game) built a danger room (training barracks with upright training spears triggered by a pressure plate in a high traffic corridor) and used it for a few seasons. It worked normally (training soldiers stood in it while sparring and did not get hurt but did increase in skills) but once, just once, a dwarf got killed. I got the message "Urist McUnlucky has been impaled by a maple training spear" or something like that and he was just dead. If it's relevant, he was prone under another dwarf when it happened. None of my other dwarves who were in there at the time (not even the other dwarf standing over him when it happened) were so much as scratched. What gives?--129.252.87.174 18:25, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
- Well it is called a DANGER Room for a reason. No pain, no gain.
I had legendary fighter/armor user training his dodging in my danger room. He managed to get brained through his copper helm. Fatal injuries are extremely rare, but they happen if you use the room a lot. You live by the danger room, you die by the danger room.
- Also had a fatality, so it does happen. I'll try to incorporate it in the front page.--Kwieland 22:27, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
I know weapon traps are influenced by the quality of mechanisms used. Is this the case with upright spears? Also, it may help to have all the spears produced by dabbling carpenters. I noticed every time my dwarves took serious hits it was from the few masterwork spears I used.--Introprospector 03:30, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
Weapon skill editing[edit]
Please, write a quick guide for doing that. 109.184.12.204 09:47, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
