Remote Detonation Trap

[Unmouseable]

I was wondering if a remote detonation trap/mine would be possible?

Traps are lots of fun but with high stealth can be tricky to get monsters to wake up and trigger my traps. Yelling works but can be too dangerous on lots of maps.

I really like the idea of setting up traps and remotely detonating one to wake them up. It would not even necessarily have to be a damaging trap just something to take the monsters out of their sleeping state.

Perhaps a different type of trap? maybe an alarm trap, you set it up and when you hit the detonate key it goes off.

Maybe it could even be an ability unlocked once you get to a certain point in the trapping skill.

A timed one might be cool too. Set up your trap and in 20 seconds it goes off.

Interesting topic. I could suggest a bit different appcoach:
make possible to direct /cough and /yell command to certain direction.. lets 'cough' works like "a ball" and 'yell' like a "storm" which influence only certain amount of area in certain side from character.

Ex:
1) you type: /yell
2) game asks you: Which direction to yell?
3) you choose direction and yell only to the west (for example)...
4) west side of dungeon wakes up.. and also monsters in your room (certain radius around char - cause yelling its loud thing).

its quite realistic approach...

sound is acoustic wave, and propagate in all direction in the materials. How your idea is realistic? I can easily hear that someone is coughing even if he don't cought in my direction… Yes it's not nice sphere around coughing person, but still it propagate in all direction.

sound has a direction in which it's volume is the most loud. especially if you yell... and especially if you would make your hands like this:


Try to check it in real life %)
