Multiworm clip through wall
Multiworm clip through wall (map)
Multiworm diagonally in doorway
Multiworm diagonally in doorway (map)
(The Multiworm actually takes up 2 times 2 squares when in diagonal position)

The Multiworms can move after they clip through a wall or a doorway, then my Agents can shoot them as usual. One solution to this can be to force a Multiworm to be only one square in size when they turn their body close to a wall (compacting it against the wall), and they should not be able to turn their body when standing in a doorway.

Edit: I am considering that the Multiworm can be compacted even in doorways when they turn their body diagonally like the picture in my post. It would be a smart solution to make the Multiworm work as an accordion 🪗. When turning their body so that their tail clips through a wall or an object it would then be forced into a compact version of itself (squished together into only one square to avoid clipping). This would require new sprites of the Multiworm in it's compacted form.

Compact sprites in all directions already exist for the Multiworm in game

Indeed, the OG uses them for certain movements in tight spaces

There's also 1.5 tile length versions for animating between two and one tiles

Great! No new sprites required. The question is if it is not to hard to implement my idea!?

I'm fairly sure the OG did the compression thing anyway - so it's something Not Implemented for OpenApoc as yet

But if you are able to get any OG footage of when and how the worms choose to compress in movement that would definitely help us plan an OA implementation

Ok! I will definitely be looking out for this in OG now.
