How to set up a mine that will explode from enemy contact

[RedFlash]

So far I can create mines but I can't figure out how to set up a trigger for them explode on contact also I can't figure out how to make them hide as well without them doing it manually in game

Trigger so far is:
Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
(Ability being cast) Equal to Mine
(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Swordsman
Set Bird2 = (Position of (Triggering unit))
Unit - Create (Random integer number between 5 and 10) Mine for Player 1 (Red) at Bird2 facing (1.00 + 1.00) degrees

Change the trigger, you should try, to:

Event:
-Unit - A unit gets in range (WhatEverYouWant) of unit
Condition:
-(Unit-type of (Triggering Unit)) = Footman
Actions:
-Unit - Make unit cast (Mine)

I think the mine ablility by itself will detonate.
That would not be a smart trigger if you have LOTS of mines.
And as for hiding the mine, try adding to it the ability (Permanent Invisibility).

May the force be with you!

Thank you but do you know how so when I cast my spell my mines are more seperated instead of bunch up together

Doesn't the landmine explode on close range already?

Yes, I think so, but just in case it doesn't work... lol ^^

If you want to set a certain detonation-range or how long for the mine to activate (it's 10 seconds by standard), just edit it's abilities.

The activation/detonation range ability is called Mine - exploding (Goblin Land Mine).
