Spike Traps
« on: April 17, 2009, 05:34:54 pm »
Ok, the wiki was rather unclear about this. Do spike traps do ANY damage to creatures that fall on them? I wasn't sure if "no (additional) damage" meant no damage in addition to what the trap normally does or in addition to the falling damage. If they don't do damage, then is there a way to actually have the spikes trigger when a critter falls on them?

So to make effective use of a spike pit, is that once they fall they must activate at the bottom of the pit?

Search on the forums for a repeating pressure plate system, those could make the spikes at the bottom go on and off at regular intervals, no need to pay too much attention to them after that.
