It's a trap API question!

Hi, i have a little problem with It's a trap API.  Cleric passive perception 15. i set a secret door with 11 passive perception to spot. I set to a 15 burst to spot. So, when the cleric is inside of the 15 ft burst nothing happens, and no message reveal the API. Only when the cleric is in the $ token, is when the message jumps.  The trap is on GM layer, and the character on the token layer. I have the following API G  Token Collisions G  Character Sheet Utils G  HTML Builder G  It's a Trap! G  It's a Trap! - D&D 5E Generic I am doing something wrong? (From Its A Trap! script): Trap Configuration Core properties Name Secret door Type Secret door Message The wall opens before you. Disabled? no Show GM Only? no Secret Notes - Trigger properties Trigger Area self - circle Trigger Collision None Ignore Token IDs none Affects Flying Tokens? no Delay Activation - Activation properties Activation Area burst Burst Radius 0 ft Special FX None Sound - Chained Trap IDs none Delete after Activation? no Detection properties Max Search Distance 15 ft Detection Message You observe an irregular suface on the wall. Reveal the Trap? Reveal to objects layer when activated or spotted. External script properties API Command - TokenMod script - Theme-specific properties Character Sheet roll20 (auto-detected) Attack Bonus - Damage - Miss - Half Damage no Saving Throw none Passive Perception DC 11 Activate Trap

Maybe try setting Burst Radius to 15 ft?

Nothing happens..... but the burst 15ft in the activation trap section.... not in the spot section still unable to detect the trap 

There are 2 auras (yellow "activation" and green "detection"). When inside on the green aura, nothing happens. Only display the spot message when the cleric is in the same square as the token trap "5 ft square". 

It could be sending a whisper to the player, and since you are controlling as DM, you would not get it.  I have seen that behavior before with It's a Trap and Check it Out.  The only way to know is to log in as a player with control of that token and see from the player's perspective.

Ouchh!! that's a great fail.... :S (the DM is supposed to control what is seen and what appears) would be a rather cumbersome mistake.

It seems that this is not the problem .... I have reconnected as a player and it remains the same .... In front of the secret door and nothing happens Inside the token "secret door" and the activate trigger jumps.... but no spot before.

I have had this happen to me before, i found the trap was too close to the object be that a door or wall.. Try moving it away from the object abit and see if that corrects the trigger action.

The API is supposed to assign to a token.... and the aura should reveal the detecction of the trap if the character overpass the passive perception, bringing the trigger closer is a bit weird, because it is not in the right place.... (either I'm doing something wrong, or there's some communication problem with the sheet and the passive perception, but I discard the latter because even with passive perception 0, it is still the same). I am sure that the API must be working well, and that I am doing something wrong.... but I have tried so many things that I am beginning to doubt it.

The same thing happens to me with the activation of a trap.... only activates when the character touch the token trap 5ft (is in the same square as the token trap even if i set burst 15, 20, 25 ft doesn't matter)

From your Trap settings i am assuming it's a secret door, the burst feature is used for triggering AoE effects i believe and requires addition configuration. I would use "Self" as the activation area and adjust the Max search distance to 5 or 10 feet in the detection properties and test.

Also there is a three part series of youtube video's of It's a trap guide in case you haven't seen them. Might help you solve your issue as well. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fqv_U6gOzao" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fqv_U6gOzao</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-NRGP3MpWk" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-NRGP3MpWk</a> part 2 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzCXgVLoqKs" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzCXgVLoqKs</a> part 3

done... but it still doesn't reveal anything, only when the character passes and stays on top of the token trap, there if everything is revealed.&nbsp;

I resize the token trap to 10ft and it works, but for any reason, in 5ft doesn't work&nbsp; :S

Is the detection DC set to something reasonable?

Now the character spots in 15 ft aura.... but the activation message only jumps inside the token.... for any reason the 5 ft trap doesn't work, but resize to 10 ft. works partially.&nbsp;

Keeper of Secrets (KoS) said: Is the detection DC set to something reasonable? Yep.... i set to 10, 8, 7..... 0.... XD&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;and nothing (DC is not the problem, that was the first thing I checked)

You could also reach out to the API's creator Stephen L. He was quick to help me out when i ran into some issues.

just as a side note, you have it's a trap and it's a trap - D&amp;D 5E Generic API's installed? Also the Grid must be enabled on the map as well.

Yep....&nbsp;

It's already solved, I've done an API restart and it seems to work correctly now :P Thank you all for the help :)
