Summary

0011032: Trap interaction with animate skeleton

Description

Raising undead allies (I only checked Animate Skeleton) interacts with
traps in somewhat surprising and maybe bad ways in certain edge cases.

Skeletons can raise on alarm traps and zot traps without triggering
them. I managed to get this to happen both when the trap was known and
when it was not.

Skeletons will fail to rise (with the "no space to rise" message) if
the only visible spot has a teleport trap, known or not. I also got
this to happen sometimes when there were a couple of visible spots
(otherwise it would rise in an untrapped spot). So not only is
the behaviour unintuitive, especially given what happens in the
alarm/zot trap case, there is also leakage of information about
unknown traps.

I was able to reliably reproduce this by wizmoding with a Fo^Kiku, using
dig, deliver corpses, and animate skeleton. I did not experiment with
other kinds of traps or other ways of producing allies. OS is ArchLinux.

Notes
(0031779) andreas (reporter) 2017-08-18 12:50	Similar issue reported with ID# 0011187, animate skeleton interacting with shaft traps.

(0031809) espais (reporter) 2017-09-02 07:20	Would the intent be to search nearby tiles for a free spot or not allow them to rise on, say, alarm traps. I for one think it would be kind of funny for a skelefriend to be raised on a shaft, only to immediately plummet 3 floors.
