Can pressure pads be made to point at any level, the same targetting as teleporters do...

A very obvious suggestion that until now nobody seems to have thought of before! That could make things simpler, and would avoid having to build the 'teleport an object to a pad on another level' technique that FTL had to use so extensively in CSB.

I know! There must have been a reason it was not doable - because of the old 'only three levels running' in DM, where everything else was frozen? Maybe that was why you could only teleport between levels, because that introduced a trigger object that could be activated when the party got near. Then again, why not have an extra bit in the hex that states whether the object has activated or not...a mystery really.

Everything in RTC is universal and can exist and point everywhere. I specifically built that kind of limitation imposed by DM (due to memory limitations) out of RTC!
