Tired of trapping bears in pits?

Tels Thanks, will fix in the upcoming patch

Love the mod 🧡

The latest release is about 5x the size, since the modicon is suddenly a very very high-res 1 MB PNG. Maybe you could reduce its size again, as it won't be visible in the game, anyway :)

OMG thank you

The_Teller As of 1.0.4, the trap damage is just flat damage which increases based on metal type as you suggest.

As for trapping the player, I did try what you propose, but as far as I know it doesn't work. There are two walk speed parameters the player has, one is a modifier added by armors, etc to slow the player down, which is just a multiplier. The other is the player's raw walk speed. However, when I tried setting the first to zero (or a low value) it only made the player kinda slow, but nowhere slow enough. Meanwhile setting the raw speed to zero simply did not do anything at all. Maybe I am doing something wrong, and If so, I would appreciate if a more experienced modder could point it out. Otherwise, we're stuck like this for now -.-

Edit: I have figured out how to do so. Expect an update soon.

Update: This is now in the mod.

I'm no coder so take what I say with a grain of salt. 

In order to trap the player would it be possible to decrease the players movement speed all the way down to zero (0) once the bear trap clamps down? In order to release the player they would need to look down and right click the trap, and if I'm not mistaken a string of code would need to be added to prevent it from clamping down again instantly. For instance on that checks if an entity is already on top of the bear trap when it's reset.

As for damaging the player, it could be just an initial flat damage which increases based off of metal type.

Again idk how to code nor how it looks like. This is just a concept.

Verlia I have attempted to properly trap the players for a long time before giving up and removing it. I did initially want to keep it as config option. If I figure out (or somebody can tell me) how to properly keep a player from moving, I will add that.

Love this idea, will probably try it out later when I get a chance. As for players getting trapped, thought it was removed, would it be possible to re-add this effect for personal play? Such like a config file or something that says to turn it on or off?

@WickedSchnitzel fixed it. I rebalanced the trap damage and made it so that players don't get trapped inside, they only get hurt when it snaps. The trap is intended to be deadly. It is supposed to keep all trapped entities in place and damage them if they move. Unfortunately, I haven't yet managed to keep players from moving. I now changed it, but it used to only damage players if they moved, and by picking it back up or breaking it, they could break free. I left that behaviour there because I imagined it as the player losing an arm or a leg in the trap and then moving away, however I realise now that from a game design point of view it isn't optimal, so I changed it.

As for the tooltip, it's my bad. I hardcoded in the shift key while I should have checked for the player's sneak control.

Seems like the tool tip is always showing [ ]+ctrl+rmb, even if one has set the sneaking key to something else than ctrl. So we have to press ctrl+custom sneaking key+rmb
Is it intended, that a player is loosing HP while walking, after getting damaged by the trap, without a way to heal themselves? Is it deadly?

Let's freaking go! Thanks mate, this is amazing🤩

Seems nice, adding it to my ~80 mods pack, will keep you posted if I crash when I get to metal ages :P

Thank you for your work :D
