Trap Bugs

I have a few spike traps and some poison arrow traps in my foundry. I got a review stating some of the spike traps showed out of line of site so they couldn't disarm them and the arrow traps, even after disarmed, still triggered.

I went in as a rouge to test this and they are correct. Spike traps when placed are not clickable and I can not move them in the 3d editor and the arrow traps will still work. Is this a known error in the foundry or an I doing something wrong?

    Spike traps are full of glitches, so you're honestly better off without them. Try increasing the Z by 1 in case they're getting stuck in the floor.

    Arrow traps have worked fine for me so far, but I've only used one so far.

    As stated, spike traps are notoriously bad.

    The next problem is that the traps in game are ridiculously weak right now. You're better off building your own trap using items and a bit of ingenuity.

    Just keep adjusting the Z value, any traps hidden have been fixed with a slight tweak (for me anyway)

    Although traps are really worthless currently, don't know why a rogue would bother to disarm (other than RP reasons).

    Slightly off topic; I was under the impression that the Y axis was the one that concerned up and down movement (ground to ceiling). Was I horrible wrong there?

    Answer from nwugc admin: "when you place your traps make sure that room level (whatever it's called) is selected... and not zero elevation."

    And put 0.25 in Y, then you can disarm the traps. :D

    Wrong, but no not horribly. 3D editors sometimes use Y axis for height and sometimes use Z.
    Neverwinter uses Z.

    Traps can be lowered out of sight making them impossible to remove. Its nice to put them down -1 to prevent the Trickster from disarming them. Everyone gets a hit from them increasing the damage level of the map. I like to make a mix of both. Only the Trickster will see the trap but will not be able to disarm some.

    Spike traps will perma-root players who step on them no matter what their Y values are set to. Be warned.
