Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Pyramid sets off traps??

Why is it that when I throw (or whatever the verb from of telekinesis is..... telekenize?) one of the pyramids over a pressure plate, it sets it off? I'm trying to get a party member through a door with a pressure plate in the way, but when I throw a pyramid through the doorway, BOOM goes the trap.

It's floating through the air, how is it touching the plate?

It just seems to be an unfortunate side effect of how triggers are handled. When checking for passage through the selected region it doesn't seem to be able to take height into consideration.

Hmm, is that true? Have you tried placing the pyramid on top of a crate and then TK it? I've used this technique to get into some otherwise inaccessible spots before.

Sounds like a bug to me.

Anyway, try using the featherfall spell instead if you can.

I suspect that will work, as abilities like Tactical Retreat also work since they spawn your character to a new location rather than move them across the trigger region.

Same thing happens when you throw boxes over a pressure plate.

bug. glitch. overlooked possibility,

Didn't even know there was one. I'm still exploring the first town.
