Mechanisms

These help add special effect to the dungeon, such as having doors or pits opening and closing by themselves; or even a shop where you can spend your hard earned money; and much much more.

Mechanisms may be placed anywhere in the dungeon and they come in a range of abilities.

Here are some of the basics:

Toggle = trigger the object eg open, then on the next trigger close

Activate/active = open pit, closed door, useable teleporters etc

Deactivate/inactive = closed pit, open door etc

= means objects on a new tile

+ means another object on same tile


Door to open/close on when something comes near =pressure plate (if visible)+ trigger – operated by party/object/monster/etc – targets the door =object (eg door/pit)

Levers/buttons to open/close objects/remove/add moveable walls =lever/button (Toggle/deactivate) – operated by mouse – targets the object (constant weight option) =object (eg door/pit or moveable wall-visible)

Key to open doors =key hole (toggle) – operated key (type) – Destroy item – disable self – targets door =door + doorframe


Invisible object visible = trigger – activate – object –(constant weight/release options) = object (eg writing/pit/alcove)

Monster boundary = teleporter – active – operated by monster – targeting floor tile before teleporteer

Multiple switches needed to open door = switch – toggle – targeting counter (x the number of switches needed) = counter – deactivate - count set to number of switches – targets door = door + doorframe

Object used to open door eg coin for fountain =fountain – operated by coin – activate – disable self – delay 1/6 – targets relay and action + relay – number 1 – operation equal to – deactivate – targets door + Action – swap mouse – object 1 coin = door + doorframe
