Spike Trap

[ndh]

Hey, for my current project i am trying to make a spike trap that the player can build, but i can't seem to get my desired outcome.

My initial idea was to use the goblin land mine, but it just doesn't seem to be working. Any suggestions would be nice

Try this.

It's similar to what i was hoping for, but would like it to be a building. And it only triggers when an enemy unit walks across it, but when it goes off, it damages all units around it.

You can create a custom unit based on building and go the ability itself and change the Data - Unit Type to your custom unit (building).

And it only triggers when an enemy unit walks across it

The spell has already did that...

but when it goes off, it damages all units around it.

This too...

Guess i missed that bit, thanks for pointing it out I will now attempt to make it a building.


Edit: Got it to work : ) although sometimes when it goes off it won't deal damage.

just make units able to build landmines that look like spiketraps and don't have huge explotions... problem solved

You have to play with the unit's size - Spike Trap (dummy) (can be configured in Object Editor) and size of AOE (can be configured via variable in setup trigger)

Make the AOE bigger or change the unit's size, you have to self-adjust this to get accurate reading which is not my job, you can do it.

It has nothing to do with that trigger broken I believe.

It has to do with our/your eyes, some sort of visual faulty to be precised, tricking you (you must change either AOE or size of Spike Trap (dummy))

Yeah i figured that out, so i made the aoe slightly larger than the triggering radius, so now it works all the time
