Windows [1215] Trapblock shadowing

Category: KAG Client/ Ingame
Build number: 1215

Description: Trapblocks shadowing is broken. Trap blocks now only yield shadow when placed upon casstle backwall

Steps to reproduce:

1. start/join any game
2. create a box where the lid is made from trapblock(s)
3. observe that the box not gets darkend by shadows
4. repeat now with trapblocks placed on casstle backwall
5. observe the box gets dark/shadowed

 

I'd like this to be changed because sometimes you forgot to backwall a trap and it's completely visible to the other team. Then you have to dig around/break the trap blocks which takes a lot of time.

 

As you can see in the following screencaps, normal stone blocks provide the shadowing effect while trap blocks do not seem to. Even with stone backwall all the way down and covering it still doesn't provide the shadowing effect. Maybe intentional, but I think it would make more sense/save builders a lot of hassle if they just cast a shadow below them.

 

same with doors

 

@anymuse thanks for posting screenshots.
Seems unlikely this is done intentional because when you manually put castle backwall up first and then place a trapblocks on it, it will result in the trapblocks casting shadow. However without this preperation they dont.


@norill
Doors have never casted shadow before. But if you think they should i cant get that. However i not quite sure how i stand on the doors casting shadow aswell.

 

I assume it has to do with their variable states (open/closed), but maybe allowing them to let in sun only when they're triggered would be really cool.

 

I would be happy if pressing down let you drop through trap blocks of your own color.

 

It's like a door, but not.
