[Done for V0.39] Pre-disbelieved fake walls

Post by Lunever »

Currently monsters like the poor dragons in the CSB Ros maze are hapless, defensless sitting ducks, since they can't fight back unless you invite them too, and even without a map you can easily take them out by using tunnel vision. Is it possible to have fake walls that are a priori defined as already being disbelieved, so monsters can walk about within such a maze?

Can fake walls please also be disbelieved when monsters witness missiles flying through? At least I think a dragon should shoot back if a wall without any missile holes starts to spit poison.

This has got to be the weirdest thread title you've come up with, Tobias! ;)

Lol, nothing, it just sounds bizarre: "pre-disbelieved" -- I like it. I am going to try and use that phrase in conversation:

Beo: You won't believe what happened to me today!
Gambit: You're right, I have pre-disbelieved it!

:lol: :lol:

Lol, no, you want to use the full thing

"I installed some pre-disbelieived fake wallls into my hosue the other day"
- "why would you do that?"
"well duh, it's such a time saver for havign to disbelieve them later"

It is a good phrase
