| Summary | 0001715: Lever functions sometimes | ||||
| Description | Trying to defeat an early massive siege, I was attempting to use the draw bridges to thin the enemy herd a bit. As a great number were moving across the bridge I hit the lever only to find it did nothing. I checked, it had indeed been thrown, but the bridge didn't go up and the invaders all made it across. I threw it a few more times and couldn't get anyone. I then told a dwarf to pull it repeatedly and low and behold it is working fine. The command was given, someone pulled it, the lever did switch position but the bridge didn't move. | ||||

It can take a little while for the bridge to go up or down; if you pull the lever back in the meantime, it might never move. Do you have a save file exhibiting the behavior? |
|
|
It seems to be occurring when a mounted creature occupies the bridge. I experienced the same thing with a retracting bridge. |
|
|
As for timing, I think the time is "100 steps" which can go fast under good conditions, but if you are lagging, it may take several seconds real world time. |

Without save + it can take a little while for the bridge to go up or down |

Any sufficiently large creature will prevent the bridge from raising or retracting, and goblins are capable of bringing such creatures as mounts and "allies". According to the wiki, this bridge behavior has been the case since v0.28.181.40d, which presumably includes this unversioned report. |
