Description

A trap is a object that can either do damage or trigger another connected object when detonated. Traps are like runes except they are not magical in nature, and generally have either a physical attack or trigger a reaction.

Traps hit any monster or person who steps on them for 'dam' damage in 'attack type' attacktype and/or trigger a reaction.

Many traps are already defined in the archetypes.

Type defined by:

object::type = 155

Attributes

Attribute	Field	Description
artifact	object::artifact	If defined, refers to an artifact to get values from.
attack type	object::attacktype	This attribute defines what attack type to use for direct damage when the trap detonates.
block view	FLAG_BLOCKSVIEW	If an item is set to block view, players (and monsters) cannot see beyond it unless they cross it or manage to stand on top.
blocks prayers	blocks_prayer	Similar to damned, but does not appear in detect curse.
changing	FLAG_CHANGING	A <changing> object converts to <food> <other_arch> objects; when it's animation is done. For non-living objects <food> is checked: if it is zero, the change happens; otherwise <food> is decreased by one. I suggest you don't mess with this value - leave the default in place.
client-sided randomized animation?	FLAG_CLIENT_ANIM_RANDOM	If defined, then the object's animation is client-sided. Similar objects are animated independently.
client-sided synchronized animation?	FLAG_CLIENT_ANIM_SYNC	If defined, then the object's animation is client-sided. Similar objects are animated synchronized.
connection	connection value	When the trap is detonated, all objects with the same connection value get activated.
detonation text	object::msg	When the trap detonates, this text is displayed to the victim. For especially powerful or complex traps, create an appropriate and thrilling description. ;)
direct damage	living::dam	<direct damage> specifies how much damage is done by the trap. This should be set in reasonable relation to the trap's level.
elevation	elevation	The elevation (height above sea level) of this square. It is used for weather calculations and should be in the range -32000..32000. The elevation of a tile must be set in the bottom-most game object; elevation values for non-bottom-most game objects are ignored by the Crossfire server.
glow radius	object::glow_radius	If <glow radius> is set to a value greater zero, the object appears lit up on dark maps. <glow radius> can be a value between 0 and 4, the higher, the more light does the object emit.
identified	FLAG_IDENTIFIED	If an item is identified, the player has full knowledge about it.
identified animation	identified_animation	If defined, then the object will take this animation when identified.
identified animation speed	identified_anim_speed	If defined, then the object will have this animation speed when identified.
identified image	identified_face	If defined, then the object will take this appareance when identified.
identified random animation?	identified_anim_random	If defined, then the object's animation is in a random sequence when identified.
identified_name	identified_name	If defined, then the object will take this name when identified.
identified_name_pl	identified_name_pl	If defined, then the object will take this plural name when identified.
image	object::face	The image-name defines what image is displayed for this object in-game.
invisible	object::invisible	Generally makes the object invisible. Depending on the object-type, some can be made visible by the show_invisible spell. If in doubt, test it. Putting an invisible object under the floor always prevents it from being shown.
is used up	FLAG_IS_USED_UP	If set, decrement the <food> field at <speed>. When <food> reaches zero, remove the object.
name	object::name	This is the name of the object, displayed to the player.
number	object::nrof	This value determines the number of objects in one stack (for example: 100 gold coins => "number = 100"). You should set this at least to one, for any pickable object - otherwise it won't be mergeable into a stack.
number of charges	living::hp	The rune will detonate <number of charges> times before disappearing. Should be not 0 if 'unlimited charges' is set.
price adjustment	price_adjustment	If set, this is the buy and sell price adjustment ratio for the item.
price adjustment for buying	price_adjustment_buy	If set, this is the adjustment ratio when buying the item. Ignored if <price> adjustment is set.
price adjustment for selling	price_adjustment_sell	If set, this is the adjustment ratio when selling the item. Ignored if <price> adjustment is set.
smooth level	object::smoothlevel	If <smooth level> is set to a value greater zero, the object will be drawn partially over adjacent squares having a lower <smooth level> value. The value must be between 0 and 255 (inclusive); 0 means "never overlap adjacent squares".
splitting	FLAG_SPLITTING	A <splitting> object converts to <food> <other_arch> objects; when it is hit physically. For non-living objects <food> is checked: if it is zero, the change happens; otherwise <food> is decreased by one. I suggest you don't mess with this value - leave the default in place.
trap level	object::level	Level effects how easily a trap may be found and disarmed, and how much experience the player gets for doing so. Beware: High level traps can be quite a cheap source of experience! So either make them tough, or keep the level low.
unlimited charges	FLAG_LIFESAVE	If set, then the rune will detonate forever if the number of charges is not 0.
visibility	living::Cha	This value determines what fraction of the time the trap is visible: It'll be randomly visible 1/<visibility> of the time. Also effects how easily the trap may be found.
