| Summary | 0007395: Dwarf appears to be floating/ hovering/ flying/ climbing the wall laterally | ||||
| Description | Centered on Save. One dwarf appears to be climbing laterally across a wall, east to west. He moves slowly as though it is difficult, but he is crossing a space 1Z level above a downward slope (effectively 2 Z levels above normal ground traveling level) | ||||

Might be related: In adventure mode, NPCs often try to grab (climb?) a wall, followed by massive "NPC lost hold of the wall" spam. |

Might this just be intended behavior now? Climbing is a thing, after all. Your dwarf mighta just figured it out. |

Fine if dwarves do it. Less fine if goblins work out how. They don't just climb walls laterally; they will also go straight up. To demonstrate this, dig a pit by designating ramps in a section, and then another layer below that. Once that's all been dug out remove the slopes. The dwarves will ponder being stuck in the pit for a while, then will just scale the walls and climb right out. I was going to test this with goblins, but there's a problem with them not being pittable at the moment. |

> Less fine if goblins work out how. Well, all creatures are supposed to be able to climb to a degree, so... You don't need pitting to test it - it can be done with cage release at the bottom of a locked room with a suitable opening in the ceiling. |

I look forwards to the day when we can put weapon traps on walls, if that's ever going to happen. :D |

Good point Amena - I was just wondering idly about goblins there, but I happened to have a spare goblin or two lying around, so I tried this out. Turns out goblins do climb out of pits. That probably warrants a bug report of its own! |
