Overview

The trap procedure allows builders to combine a single trigger with multiple effects. Some effects maybe be harmful, while others helpful. The settings for the trap are assigned via the setproc command. The trap proc can be added to rooms or mobiles.


Key Default Description
TRAP_INITIAL_CHARGES 1 The number of charges the trap has per zone reset. If this value is negative, the trap has infinite charges.


Triggers

The trap may only have one trigger which is set in the TRIGGER_TYPE key value.

Value Description
Arrival Activates when players enter the room.
Cast Activates when the specified spell is cast at a particular target.
Command Activates when players enter a particular command.
Departure Activates when players attempt to leave the room.
HourOfDay Activates once or every interval during a particular range of time each mud day.
MobileDeath Activates when a particular mobile is killed.
Password Activates when a player says a particular word.
PressurePlate Activates when the sum of the weights of all players/mobiles in the room reach a particular threshhold.
Timer Activates when the MUD's internal timer goes off. This occurs approximately every 10 seconds.
ZoneReset Activates immediately after the zone reset occurs.


Trigger Settings

Global settings that may be applied to the trigger.

Key Default Description
TRIGGER_CHANCE 100 The percentage chance that the trigger will activate.
TRIGGER_MIN_PRIME_LEVEL 0 The minimum prime level required to activate the trigger.
TRIGGER_MAX_PRIME_LEVEL 50 The maximum prime level allowed to activate the trigger. Note that immortals will only trigger the trap if TRIGGER_INCLUDE_IMMORTALS is also set.
TRIGGER_ACTIVATION_DELAY 0 Approximate number of seconds to delay the effects after the trigger is activated. Note that setting this value allows for the player activating the trigger to escape - which means they may not be present for any of the effects.
TRIGGER_SPELL_EXEMPTION_LIST No exemptions A colon (:) separated list of spells/skills that make the player exempt from activating the trigger.
TRIGGER_INCLUDE_MOBILES 0 (FALSE) Indicates whether independant mobiles should be able to activate the trigger. If this value is left at zero, wandering mobiles will not activate the trap nor count toward cumulative activations such as pressure plate weights. Mobile followers (supplications, summoned undead, etc) are always able to activate the trigger unless their master's prime level falls outside the trigger's boundaries or unless the follower is affected by a spell in the spell exemption list.
TRIGGER_INCLUDE_SELF 0 (FALSE) Indicates whether a mobile with the trap procedure attached can trigger the procedure itself. Then must be TRUE if a mobile wishes to trigger on it's own death, for example.
TRIGGER_INCLUDE_IMMORTALS 0 (FALSE) Indicates whether immortals can trigger the trap. Best used when debugging or for helpful traps that perform tasks like opening doors.
TRIGGER_MESSAGE_ACTOR No message Message sent to the player who activates the trigger.
TRIGGER_MESSAGE_ROOM No message Message sent to the room when the trigger is activated.

Cast

The cast trigger will activate if one of the specified spells is cast at one or more target keywords.

Key Default Description
CAST_SPELL_LIST None Colon (:) separated list of spell names.
CAST_COMMAND_NAME None Either PLAY or SING if you want to force that command to be used. Otherwise the method used to cast the spell or sing/play the song is irrelevant.
CAST_TARGET_LIST None Colon (:) separated list of potential targets for the spell. Each value contains one or more keywords that must be specified to activate the trap. If this value is left empty, then the arguments are ignored and any matching spell will activate the trap. Leaving this field out of your script also uses the default setting which is 'no target' or 'None', and therefore spells that don't use a target can (and should) thus be used this way.


Command

The command trigger will activate if a player enters the specified command and arguments.

Key Default Description
COMMAND_LIST None Colon (:) separated list of commands and their arguments.

For example, a value of push tomb:push stone:push tombstone would trigger on any of the three commands listed.


HourOfDay

The HourOfDay trigger will activate either once or once every interval during a range of hours during the day. It ignores most of the trigger settings including TRIGGER_MIN_PRIME_LEVEL, TRIGGER_MAX_PRIME_LEVEL, and TRIGGER_SPELL_EXEMPTION_LIST.

Key Default Description
HOUR_OF_DAY_START None Start of the range.
HOUR_OF_DAY_START_MESSAGE No message Message to display when the hour range begins. This message is sent to the room.
HOUR_OF_DAY_STOP None End of the range. This value may not be the same as the start value otherwise the range is considered empty.
HOUR_OF_DAY_STOP_MESSAGE No message Message to display when the hour range ends. This message is sent to the room.
HOUR_OF_DAY_RUN_MULTIPLE TRUE Whether to run every interval (the default) or just once when the range begins.


MobileDeath

The mobiledeath trigger will activate if a particular mobile is killed in this room. It ignores most of the trigger settings including TRIGGER_MIN_PRIME_LEVEL, TRIGGER_MAX_PRIME_LEVEL, and TRIGGER_SPELL_EXEMPTION_LIST.

Key Default Description
MOBILE_DEATH_VNUM -1 Vnum of the mobile to react to.

Note that if the trap procedure is added to a mobile and the TRIGGER_INCLUDE_SELF flag is set to TRUE, the MobileDeath trigger will activate the trap regardless of the MOBILE_DEATH_VNUM settings.

Password

The password trigger will activate if a player says a particular word.

Key Default Description
PASSWORD_VALUE (none) The password.


Pressure Plate

The pressure plate trigger activates when the weight of the applicable players and mobiles crosses a threshhold. Players/mobiles affected by the fly or wraithform spells are not counted.

EFFECTS_AFFECT_SELF 0 (FALSE) Boolean value indicating whether the mobile the trap is attached to should be affected by the trap.
EFFECTS_AFFECT_OBJECTS 0 (FALSE) Boolean value indicating whether objects in the room should be affected by the trap.

EFFECTS_OVERRIDE_COMMAND 0 Boolean value indicating whether activation of the trap overrides the current command. Only relevant if a command triggers and activates the trap.
