Monster repulsor

Post by Lord_BoNes »

I would like to suggest, a flooritem that does the opposite to a monster_attractor. A monster_repulsor, so to speak.

This mechanic would be useful for keeping certain monster type away from certain areas, or objects... EG: a water elemental would avoid drains.

This would add a new tactic for dungeon designers, like myself, to implement.

BoNes prays to the RTC gods for George to come back soon

Any feedback on this topic would be appreciated.

Yep, good idea this one, seconded.

You can hack it using teleporters and directional triggers but it's a huge mess of stuff to create such a simple effect. A single object would be so much easier.

It would appear that my prayer above was heard by the RTC gods. George decided to drop in briefly last night...

Back on topic, thanx for the input Gambit.
