Old thread: https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/3280344/script-its-a-trap-v2-dot-3/?pagenum=1

This is a script for setting up automated traps. The traps can also be interpreted with system-specific rules through Trap Theme scripts written for various character sheets. 

It's a Trap and the Trap Theme scripts are all available through Roll20's One-Click API library.

General documentation and update logs can be found in its README on GitHub.

Having Trouble?

If you're having problems setting up traps with this script, please post your problem to this thread and I will try to address it soon. When you do so, please be sure to also provide the JSON for the trap giving you trouble and let me know what trap theme you are using. This would greatly help me to diagnose what the issue is.

Update v3.9

This update includes the following new features:

• Implemented delayed activation for traps. When the 'Delay Activation' property is set for traps, the trap will delay going off until a set number of seconds after it is triggered. This works best with traps that affect an area and whose 'Stop Tokens At' property is set to None.

I've been trying to have the traps do a "Special FX", but so far been unsuccessful. I've typed things like "missile-fire" or "beam-fire" onto the first prompt, then "0,0" on the second and "5,0" on the third, what am I doing wrong?

EDIT: I finally figured out what caused it, it was because I had the "GM Only" option set to "yes", I put that because I didn't want anything to appear in chat, I simply wanted the effect to play whenever someone stepped on the trap, is there a way to do that? Also, the effects seem to always face the same way no matter what I put there

No, the trap will always display a message in the chat unless GM Only is "yes". 

For the Special FX vectors, enter them as "[X,Y]" instead of as "X,Y".

So, I installed It's a Trap! and It's a Trap! 5E - Generic theme (and associated required scripts).  I can place a token on the GM layer, select it, and click the ItsATrap_trapCreationWizard macro, but I get no configuration options.  I can see a net icon on the token, and the gm info for the token has a couple of json properties added, but I can't get any configuration menu to show up.

The properties that are added are:

{"effectShape":"rectangle","stopAt":"center"}

The output console shows the following message after hitting the macro:

{"who":"error","type":"error","content":"Unable to find a player or character with name: Roger  (GM)"}

Additionally, the trap does fire when a token moves over it (though it doesn't do anything but stop the token since I can't configure it).  But if the player's movement includes going around a corner, it doesn't fire...  (assuming it's graphing a line between the start point and the end point for collision testing?)

Sounds like Roll20's whisper function isn't processing your name correctly for some reason.

Does it work if you speak as a different character?

Aha! Yes, it does. Looks like it's because I had my display name as Roger (GM), which in chat was trying to be Roger (GM) (GM).

Hi,

I was wondering If it was possible and if so how to place a trap back into the "Hidden GM layer" When Selecting "Other Traps Triggered"

You see I'm trying to have it that if a token steps on a door for an outer building the inside of the building pops up. 
This is working very well with getting it to pop up as setting a trap the size of the door on the GM layer (normal trap stuffs) and having the "Other traps triggered" Option for the inside of the building to pop up. 

I'd like to have that in reverse though for a spot so it goes back into the GM Layer when stepping on an exit etc. ^^ 

Thank you for your time. 

I'm not super great at API lol. But learning slowly but surely. 

Love this API so far btw. 


Also Having a hard time getting the "Token Mod Script" to Work. 

I've tried every different way of "!token-mod --order back" doesn't seem to work :/ 

This script doesn't currently have any options for putting other traps back onto the GM layer. 

I'm not sure how to help you with the TokenMod script, since that one's not mine. I would ask The Aaron about it. He's the TokenMod script's author.

Anyway to add SWRPG compatibility? I mean... "It's a Trap!"
