traps not triggered when changing place with ally

[marvalis]

Playing as a wilder, when you run into your pet who is standing on a trap then you do not trigger the trap. It's an easy way to run over a trap without getting hit. I assume this is a bug.

Does it happen in the opposite direction too? i.e. if you are on the trap and you swap places an ally.

If so, it ight be useful for getting those silly adventurers past traps in the escort quests..

The real question is "Will this work for escort quests?"

[marvalis]

If you stand on a trap, then swap with the escort quest ally, it is does not trigger the trap. I checked.

I also found you can switch places if you are encumbered.

As it stands, this is the only way I can escort people past the lethal traps.

I'd say that since it means the player must hit the quest twice instead of once for player and once for escort it is reasonable, not abusive, and should be left.. Perhaps I helped the escort over the trap but then had no one to help me over.

...since it means the player must hit the quest twice...

I assume you meant "hit the trap"; and I completely agree, since this seems the only way a character w/o PD or Disarm Trap can safely get the escorted npc past a trap...

[Gwai]

Yes. I meant trap not quest there.
