Need help figure timing/planning out for a simple trap.

http://castledraft.com/editor/hPUaEU


This is about how much i can figure out. Its a hidden commitment. Elecfloor starts on so the user have to take the other way and pitbull should get to the doormat faster than intruder can backtrack, i saw it a while ago and need help figuring it out. smile

Also. First post. Been playing for a week. Awesome game.  smile

Count the number of steps the player and the pitbull have to take to reach the fork. Since the player can reach it first after seeing the pitbull, they can still get away.

That will work. Yes.

*edit: It has a weakness, though. If the robber knows the layout of the trap they can still get out after triggering the dog by frying it on the grates. It doesn't help that you're leaving the toggle button within view.

Thanks for your input mate. smile Appreciated.  Just speculating around on future builds.   I always get so  "ohh oohhh i gotto try this thing as soon as a re-build... "     And castle draft webpage helps me from suiciding.  tongue

Throw a cat in there and the floor doesn't have to start on anyway.

The floor starting on is a good way to fool new players though who think "well nothing can come from there otherwise it will get fried". Perhaps there aren't enough of those players around any more though.
