*General Notes*

To use these scripts in your module you need to add this line to your
OnModuleLoad event in Module Properties.

--
ExecuteScript("trap_on_load");
--


To place a trap put down a copy of the placeable of the trap you want to use,
the huge boulder for the rolling rock trap, the rug for the rugpit trap etc.

You then have to put down a trapped object with the correct tag.  Triggers for
each trap type are already in the palette to make this easier.  But if you want
a trap to be triggered by a door or chest you'll have to modify the tag
yourself.  All you have to do is set the beginning of the traps tag to the
string given in each traps description.  For example, if you want a rolling
boulder attached to a chest the chest's tag must begin "RBFTrap".  The chest
will also need it's disarm script set to "trap_disarm", and it's triggered script
set to "trap_fire".

The traps set up in this mod should help you understand if you're having
problems.  Be careful though, a placeable will always link itself to the closest
trap with the correct tag.

Reset switches need their tag set to the tag of the trap they reset, with a
single digit on the end.  This digit tells the switch whether it should reset
the closest trap with that tag, or the second closest, or third, etc.

To reset the closest one the digit must be 1, so for a reset switch to reset
the closest standard rolling boulder trap it's tag should be "RBFTrap1".

Details on each trap follow.
