Gatekeeper job

[ezekhiel2517]

Sometimes we don´t want a certain faction or creatures to get into our fortress. e.g.: we plan to have an illegal drug shop within our walls but every time a holy nation soldier comes by all hell breaks loose.

The solution? simply assign one or two gatekeepers at your defensive gates, with specific instructions on who and who´s not allowed in.

Gatekeepers would also open/close the gate for your squad members!

Nice idea, i double that, although sounds more like a luxury feature.

thanks, is it okay to post it here? or is there a luxury feature request forum.

all requests like that go in here
and pretty much any request that doesnt involve current game play mechanics is considered a possible luxury feature sicne the game in Beta is considered feature complete.

Which means all the base features are in game and now they are fleshing them out.

I don't know that this would be too intense a feature to add on some level. Basically we would just have to have the gates be machines that a character can operate like any other, only the job carries that script. Now I don't know how easy it would be to get too complex with that script, but the basic idea of a job to open gates for squad-mates entering or exiting through the gate doesn't sound that complex, especially when the code already exists to determine whether or not the gate is currently passable.
