| Summary | 0003049: Linked doors cannot be re-linked if lever is removed/destroyed | ||||
| Description | If a lever is attached to a door and pulled (so that the door is open), then the lever is removed, the mechanisms used fall out on the ground but the door remains open and is indicated as 'controlled by mechanism'. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1) Build a door 2) Build a lever 3) Link the lever to the door 4) Pull the lever 5) Destroy the lever | ||||

How is this a bug? The door is still controlled by the mechanism in the door - just there's nothing left controlling it. |

The door is stuck open and cannot close, cannot be linked to another lever, and the only way to recover it is to remove it. The mechanism in the linkage falls to the ground. I suppose it is vaguely possible that this is intended but I very much doubt it. I would think the door ought to revert to its 'uncontrolled' state, i.e., closed and forbiddable, etc. I think that is what happens if you destroy a lever when the linked door is closed -- at least I hope so. If not, then the bug is that the only way to unlink is to remove the built object, not the lever controlling it. |

OK, if you cannot link it with another lever, that is a bug (I haven't tested it yet). AFAIK, doors should be able to be linked with more than one lever. |
|
|
OK, I need to revise my first statement. The mechanisms only fall out when you destroy the door, regardless of what state the lever was in. The door is left wherever it was. I think this is not the right behavior. Destorying the lever should, IMHO: a) Free up the mechanisms used so they can be used again b) Unlink the door so it can be used (unless some other lever is controlling it, of course) c) Set the door in the normal state -- i.e., closed unless a dwarf is going through it. |

I experienced a similar thing with floodgates. The floodgates were stuck open and I was able to link another lever to them but pulling the lever did not close them. The only remedy was to deconstruct everything and start over. |

Auto Slaughter: that shouldn't be the case - while the first lever pull would have done nothing (because it sent an "open" signal and the floodgate was already open), a second lever pull should have closed it. |

I don't see how this is a bug. You linked the door to a switch. This requires a mechanism for both the door and switch. Pull switch to toggle the door open and shut. If the switch is destroyed then you cannot toggle the door open and shut. The mechanism on the door is still there, but the two mechanisms in the lever are now sitting on the floor because the lever got smashed. |
