I'm trying to design a trapdoor right now. I am planning on designing it as
a tile that will move out from under the players feet when a condition is
met. For example straying from the diamond path or failing a puzzle or
whatever. If I make the trapdoor this way the temple will need to be built
with holes connecting the top and bottom floors that I will be able to tile
over with the trapdoor tile. Does anyone see a problem with this?
