I have been trying to use the 'dungeon_wall_open" entity in my mod allowing the player to look into another lower area.
This entity does not have an obstacle component so I tried to script one for it using the following...

dungeon_wall_open_1:createComponent("Obstacle")
dungeon_wall_open_1.obstacle:setBlockParty(true)
dungeon_wall_open_1.obstacle:enable()

Of course it does not work. Can anyone tell me why?

Doesn't explain why adding an obstacle component dynamically doesn't work, though.
I suppose if you wanted the obstacle component to work, you'd have to add it in the object definition.

ObstacleComponent doesn't work when created dynamically, you'll have to put it in the object definition instead.

A couple other things to consider here:
1. dungeon_wall_open has minimalSaveState, so your created Component will not be preserved across save/load, breaking your dungeon.
2. dungeon_wall_open has "wall" placement, but ObstacleComponent blocks an entire square. This may or may not be a problem depending on where you're using it; if it is a problem, use DoorComponent instead.

Is this intended to allow the player to view a lower area from above, with a wall or Bannister?


Similar to this?

Yes

I will give the door component a try.
