Summary

0006077: Dwarf gets in his own way while constructing wall

Description

A dwarf assigned to construct a wall attempts to do so from the square in which the wall is being built. This results in the job being suspended due to a creature occupying the construction square.

Steps To Reproduce

Additional Information

The particular situation where this occurred was one where I had two ramps coming up from z-1 and was trying to build a wall to force water to go in a diagonal. With 'r' representing a ramp coming up from below, x representing a vacant space in the current z level, and W representing the position of the desired wall, the situation looked like this:

r
Wx
r

Such that water would flow up one ramp, be z-level capped, and flow down the other ramp. I tried building temporary floors on top of both ramps, but the dwarf continued to insist upon standing in the square in which the wall was to be built.
