Trap

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 'attacktype' attacktype and/or trigger a reaction.

Many traps are already defined in the archetypes.

Type defined by:

• object::type = 155

Attributes

Attribute	Field	Description
attacktype	obj::attacktype	This attribute defines what attacktype 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.
connection	connection value	When the trap is detonated, all objects with the same connection value get activated.
detonation text	obj::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	liv::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	obj::elevation	The elevation (height above sea level) of this tile. 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	obj::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.
image	obj::face	The image-name defines what image is displayed for this object in-game.
invisible	obj::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.
name	obj::name	This is the name of the object, displayed to the player.
number	obj::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	liv::hp	The trap will detonate <number of charges> times before disappearing.
smooth level	obj::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".
trap level	obj::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.
visibility	liv::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.
