Drawbridges
well i was wondering about one of my favorite things in mid evil times.. Drawbridge doors.. and even actual dual sided bridges.. they'd obviously work like doors but perhaps with a verbal phrase like say " lower the bridge please" or what not maby just work like the doors with a use function..
also would open the way for toll bridges for those who can afford to have one built this means convenient travel for those who can afford the tolls and a lil money for those who own the bridges naturally it'd need to be owned by a guild ot town.. just an idea..
suggestions ideas? shoot it down??

I thought you had a 'Magical' Gate which blends into the side of the castle? By sayng the 'secret' word, visitors open it?Djironnyma wrote:There are already drawbriges, i have one ^.^
Not the same really. It's a 'concealment' in the map editor, not a true 'Bridge' that you raise and lower manually.
Korm made a graphic for it, but it was rejected for some reason. Ask him.

Oh, a "scripted" Drawbridge! Nice.....I think I'll take my "Scripted" Battering Ram and knock it down! Then take my "scripted" Steel Boot and kick your arse!Djironnyma wrote:I have a magic door and a draw bridge - a bridge witch i can draw up
not with the graphic of korm (i know them) but with a nice script from kadiya
I think the proposal was for something "Real".
Mages!......

Then why have Graphics at all? Go play "Zork" or some other "Text-Based" game if you like.Djironnyma wrote: if you need for everything a extra graphic, illarion (and all other RPGs) are the wrong place for you.
Personally. the Graphics provide the "Setting" and Realism needed to support Role-play. Everything doesn't "Need" an extra Graphic, but that's what "Proposals" are for....to offer ideas for making the game better.
