BAM Trap

BAM Trap Concepts

This Myriad Compatible Trap script, when used in a prim, causes Myriad damage and does other things, if avatar touches or collides with it.

It is normally used by the Game Master builder to add the element of risk to players walking or flying around in a sim RP game environment.

BAM Trap Setup

1. Choose a location for the trap to exist within your sim/region game environment.
2. Edit a prim to the size and area desired for your trap.
3. In the prim contents, add a sound file you desire to be played when the trap interacts with a player.
4. In the prim contents, add the script: Myriad Compatible Trap.
5. Edit the script in the prim:
   1. Do not change the Myriad interaction settings unless you really know what you are doing.
   2. Change the SOUNDNAME: (default = "zap") to the exact name of the sound you added. Alternatively, you may rename the sound to "zap".
   3. Change the TRAPNAME: (default = "BIG TRAP") to your desired name for your new trap.
   4. Change the MYRIADTRAPNAME: (default = "TRAP1") to your desired Myriad RP Event name for your new trap
   5. Change the COLLISIONMESSAGE (default = "tried to trap you! ") message directly sent to the avatar at the time of interaction with the trap.
   6. Change the MYRIADMESSAGE (default = "tried to trap ") message sent via Myriad RP Event
   7. Change the HOVERTEXT: (default "TRAP") to your desired warning floating text above your new trap. (no text = " ")
   8. Change the HTEXTALPHA alpha of hovertext: (default = 0.5) (opaque = 1.0) (transparent = 0.0)
   9. Change the PUSHPOWER vector direction/power (default = <200,200,200>) to push the avi away at the time of interaction with the trap. <x,y,z> (Requires push-enabled region and parcel)
6. Place the trap in the position desired for interaction with avatars.
7. For full interaction with the trap, the avatar must wear a Myriad compatible HUD and Meter.

Note! The trap will not damage its owner, so please test the trap using an alt avatar, or a volunteer.

BAM Trap Tips

1. To turn any existing object into a trap: Make the trap prim a cylinder or sphere, place it at the same position as the existing object, but make the trap prim slightly larger diameter. Then make the trap prim 100% transparent.
2. The push power should be just enough push in a good direction to cause the avatar to be pushed away when they walk or fly into it. However, it can also orbit the avatar if too much Z axis power is set.
