Make staff obey no entry banners

[mdspence1]

Often I create pathways to areas that I haven't yet completed, or for a reason or another I don't want staff to access to these pathways. Often this draws my staff far away from the areas I actually need them and renders them useless. Is this feature possible?Thanks

It could probably be made, but for the meantime you can just leave the path open for 1 tile (instead of connecting it to your other paths)

I'd rather No Entry signs still only apply to visitors, making sure they don't wander up places and make a mess of paths which are easier to keep clean.The easiest solution is to not connect them up with your park. If the path isn't connected no-one will wander up. You could try using patrol zones as well since it's easier to focus staff in a particular area than going for a wide spread, it makes the more effective, instead of engineers taking calls for broken down rides when they're at opposite sides of the park.

It may sound strange, but sometimes i'll have a pathway that connects a far away point from the park entrance (and island for instance) sometimes these areas can become too crowded (mainly from trams dumping people there) and i'll use the pathway as a way to force all of the guests away from the area. The only problem is it will sometimes suck all of my staff away from that area to somewhere else as well. I could make patrol areas but often Ill let them just roam as it is a pain to set a patrol area every time. @SnowMew maybe an option prompt for each banner? That way we could pick and choose if they obey or not.

The option idea seems the most helpful. But all in all, this does seem rather pointless, as most places that guests can't go into are just ride exists

[SnowMew]

That might be a good idea actually. Having another button which is no access entirely, or maybe blockades which block access altogether.

Can we have checkboxes for guests and each staff type then? ::)Helpful to make sure mechanics stay out of areas without attractions (or to make them stay on the main routes, but they then need to ignore them when heading for an attraction).

[Broxzier]

Or maybe like with rides and other settings an options "Block none", "Block guests" , and "Block everyone" in a dropdown menu when you click the Do not enter icon.

[RuneLaenen]

The problem is that, as soon as we implement something like this, we won't be able to open our saves in the original game because it won't be able to read the settings.

[SnowMew]

Of course, it does come back to that.When you make drastic changes to the game, the saves won't be compatible with the original, so I'm not so sure.

[RuneLaenen]

But, of course, in the future we will have to switch to our own format eventually, so it could be implemented then.

[Gymnasiast]

As far as I'm concerned, the solution will be along the lines of what Broxzier said. But as others have said, it will take some time.

[mdspence1]

If it does become implemented down the road, I hope that we could have the option checkbox for banners...does no one else have one way pathways that direct guest traffic? Maybe I am alone in that aspect.

[Gymnasiast]

I just said that I want to keep the option to just block guests, exactly for the purpose of directing guest traffic, or in my case, preventing them for trying to use exit paths the wrong.As for the checkboxes, I said I preferred a dropdown, but that's a bit beside the point.

[mdspence1]

@Gymnasiast I took what you said as making the option for ride exits only. That is what Broxzier was referring to, hence my response. Drop-down, checkbox, doesn't matter to me if the options are the same.
