Mines react through walls
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Mines will react through walls (including detonating, bringing up the mine warning, bringing up the disarm context menu, and even allowing themselves to be disarmed).
To be clear, the explosive force/shrapnel does not penetrate the wall, so all's well in that regard (in as far as shrapnel not penetrating walls is fine. not sure if it is or isn't meant to from a <1ft detonation distance) The problem is that the mine will react/report through a wall, essentially rendering a booby trap useless.
