I've written the scripts to be as generic as I possibly could. It would be easy to make a bigger or smaller pit area or in another shape. I've included exactly 5 skeletons in this map, but you could add or remove them easily. I was thinking about possibly putting a secret wall button in a corner of the downstairs room. When this button is pushed, then a wall to the player's side slides up to reveal an active (and properly facing, and immediately attacking) skeleton. Maybe it's an unpleasant surprise, maybe you need that skeleton to reach somewhere on level 1? Mazes could be added to one or both levels of the map, possibly with secret doors that could open and close. I think the scripts will even work if you move this room to levels n and n+1 instead of 1 and 2, but I haven't tested this.

If you have any questions about how any of the script works, feel free to ask. Feel free to use anything you see and like, although if you copy/paste directly from my work, please give me a credit somewhere. I've noticed a function getForward in multiple other people's scripts that turns out to be pretty much the same thing that I called getXYFromDir, should things that small get credited? If so, who first wrote getForward?

Given the fact that it was only four rooms I enjoyed the experience. I haven't actually encountered this exact sort of puzzle before and I thought the setup was quite clever. It took me a few minutes to puzzle through the solution, but it wasn't frustratingly hard. During my playthrough I didn't encounter any bugs and found one secret (and liked the fact that I had to do more strategic skeleton killing to reach it). The combat was also interesting because I couldn't make my normal hit and run strafing attacks and actually had to take some hits to get the skeletons into position.

As for changes or suggestions I think that having two teleporters was redundant, especially since they went to the same location (unless that was part of a secret I didn't find). Also, the wand seemed a little pointless and I don't think the mod would have changed that much if it was simply taken out or replaced with a normal whitewood wand (because having to return it to its location was simply time-consuming and really didn't add anything to the challenge unless I missed something again).

Overall, I think this would have fit into One-Room nicely and I look forward to you bringing out a more detailed mod in the future.

It's possible to get yourself surrounded by skeletons and/or walls. Even if you re-activate a skeleton, you can never make them move after you're surrounded. I decided that I wanted to be a little forgiving, so I added the homing wand to escape those situations. It's got a built in delay so that you can't use it to escape imminent danger. You have to put it back before you leave so that it won't figure into later puzzles in the dungeon. I probably shouldn't let you backtrack with the wand, either. It's irrelevant in this dungeon, since there's only the one puzzle, but I'm thinking of this room as a building block of a larger mod. Alternately, I could just make the wand fizzle if you use it outside of its designated location. Then, if a dungeon contains multiple rooms built on this principle, the same homing wand works for all of them, but each room has its own homing target. I think I like that approach.

The two teleporters were just a reflection of my neurotic desire for symmetry. They also provide nice ambient lighting and noise from both sides of the room on level 2. You may have noticed that there are no torch holders on level 2. I intentionally made the puzzle itself mostly symmetric, and the secret (there's only one, but I didn't want to give that away before people had a chance to play) adds an asymmetric element to make it stand out. I also considered adding one or more staircases instead of teleporters, but I just couldn't resist forcing the player to dive into a pit to face the unknown.
