Here's another of the fun ones: let's put a trap in the cell. Traps are [[Activator]]s, so navigate to that section in your Object Window. <i>( Activators>Dungeons>Caves>Traps/Triggers)</i> | |||
Drag out the following items from the trap list, and the third from the Actors>Creatures list. (I'll explain why momentarily) | Drag out the following two items from the trap list, and the third from the Actors>Creatures list. (I'll explain why momentarily) | ||

Note that some players will run through a cell, and others will walk or sneak. Setting up a trap that will get the best of players takes some luck, skill, and a lot of testing.

One mace is good, but won't two be better? | One mace is good, but won't two be better? With your mace selected, use "Ctrl+D" to duplicate it, and position the second mace where you'd like it. Now's the time to set the trap up. First, double-click the maces and tripwire and check "Persistent Reference" in the box that pops up. Now, double click the tripwire again. Select the "Enable Parent" tab, and press the button labeled "Select Reference in Render Window". Notice the crosshair cursor that now appears in the [[Render Window]]? Move it over one of the maces and click. Click "OK", and now double click on the mace you just selected, and do the same thing again, this time selecting the second mace with your crosshair cursor. | ||
