We already have floor spikes, but I feel there is something amiss. I believe we need wall spikes. Wall Spikes are similar to floor spikes, but pop out of walls instead. Since they pop out of walls, they can penetrate flying monsters, such as Wraithwings.

Whoa. Ten points to the first person who scripts this up!

I'd expect it's too late to implement new things for TSS, since it already has been released... So I guess I'll wait until 2016 for the new chronicle.

Here's a quick (kinda noobish) way to script it. Since I have absolutely no experience with the full extent of the TSS scripting systems, I just created two custom characters (one sworded, one unsworded) and set it to change appearance whenever an entity steps in front of it.

(should be polished, and with better custom character tiles, but I'd say this'll work pretty decent)

EDIT: file removed, better version in post below

Thanks to the help of Nuntar, who has enlightened me on how to script in relative positions of monsters, I've made a new script. There are four different scripts, for all cardinal directions.

Main advantage is that you can now simply copypaste wall spikes witgout having to modify their scripts every time.

Thanks! That's the type of thing we were looking for!

Implemented!

For those who prefer to do it without scripting, here's a widget that will activate firetraps every tenth turn.

Thank you for the non-scripting version. It will be much easier to use than complicated scripts.

Hey, what version is this implemented for? It's not on 5.1.

You can use it in 5.0. If you mean 5.0.1 -- no, it won't be featured as a stock game element in 5.x.
