SUMMARY
Adds a trapping formula which lets the player add custom traps on the battlefield that will trigger once.
The formula cannot be properly processed by AI, so I recommend that you uncheck "Used by AI."
Adding a trap to a tile that already has a trap will replace it with the new one.
The Y value of the formula determines which Trap Type will be set at the targeted tile.
You can either have trap skills that target the same tile as the user, or target empty tiles.
You can assign the formula to whichever formula ID suits your needs best.

WARNING: The ability MUST include a unit (ideally the user) in its AoE when it resolves in order to call the formula, which is why I have the following recommendations below.

EMPTY TILES TARGETING
Ability will fail if a unit is on the same tile as the targeted tile when the ability resolves.
"Auto Target" must be OFF
Recommended Settings:
Range: 1
AoE: 1
Linear Range ON
Vertical Threshold ON
Top-Down Target ON
Hit Caster ON
Can Select Unit OFF

SELF TARGETING
Ability will fail if the user is not on the same tile as the targeted tile when the ability resolves.
Auto Target must be ON
Recommended Settings:
Range: 0
AoE: 0
Hit Caster ON

CREATING NEW TRAPS
Unfortunately, removing status effects through traps is not possible at this time.
You can either hardcode your own traps at @custom_traps, or set a Formula + X + Y value at trap_types.

Tutorial

First Things First

• Make sure you change the Trapper formula to the ID that you want
• Use the Add-Ins Load FFTText function (unless you use vanilla text)

Hack Columns

Name
For your own reference

Description
For your own reference

Particle Effect
Effect animation that plays when a trap is triggered.
https://ffhacktics.com/wiki/Extra_Particle_Effects

Ability Name
Ability Name to be displayed with a Check box when a unit steps on the trap.

Formula
Formula to use to apply effects on the target.
Attacker's stats will be set to the Trapper's stats.
If set to 0xFF, The sheet's hardcoding will be used instead. (See @custom_traps)
WARNING: Status effects are currently not supported with formulas, but they can be applied (but not removed) with hardcoding

X
X value to use with the Formula

Y
Y value to use with the Formula

Ignore
If true, this trap can be ignored by the Ignore RSM (equipped),
or deactivated by the Deactivate RSM (equipped).
If false, the trap will always trigger.

Text Row
Just set it to FF for custom abilities. Don't concern yourself with this.
It actually affects the text offset loaded from "Battle - Action Effects"
Overriden if Ability Name !== 0xFFFF

Adding Traps to battles with the Event Instruction Upgrade Hack

The Traps Format is as follows:

Code Select Expand

XX YY UU TT

X: X Coordinate
Y: Y Coordinate
U: 0x80 Elevation
0x40 Trap is active (this should always be set to true)
0x00-0x1F ENTD Unit ID (0x00 to 0x0F for ENTD units, 0x10 to 0x14 for the Player's roster units)
T: Trap Type ID

Of course those bytes would be reversed in event code when using LUI/OR

Code Select Expand

LUI(xVARI,xTTUU)
OR(xVARI,xYYXX)
Script Example:

Code Select Expand

//Load the Traps Table Address into Variable 0x0001
LUI(x0001,x8015)
LoadAddress(x01,x02B8,x01,004)

//Set Sleeping Gas (0x02) Trap at coordinates (8,3,0) laid by ENTD Unit 0x03
LUI(x0000,x0243)
OR(x0000,x0308)
SaveAddress(x00,x0000,x01,004)

//Set Manafont (0x0D) Trap at coordinates (4,5,1) laid by ENTD Unit 0x01
LUI(x0000,x0DC1)
OR(x0000,x0504)
SaveAddress(x00,x0000,x01,004)
