Trap duration - can it be set?

[SparrowJacek]

Hello, this is my first post on these forums.

 

I'm thinking of modifying traps, to make them more balanced and one idea I got is to make duration of traps be set to let's say 5 rounds, so that players can't set -> sleep -> set more ->... and so on for traps disappear.

 

I tried playing with NI and set both effects(set trap 252 and play visual effect 215) to have duration 2 with timing mode instant/limited, but traps are still there even after 16h of sleep...

 

Is there a way to make them disappear after set amount of time? (Just like cloud spells) Thank you in advance for your help

I have never dealt to much with traps, but maybe you could make them summon an invisible creature which is hostile so they fire at him after 5 rounds or whatever. Stupid, but might work.

From my limited dealings with traps, which involved creating 3 new ones and mangling a lesser version of Spike Trap, I found that list of the edits need to be made to the projectile, not to the spell file.

 

I have no idea if projectiles can have durations. But that is what I would look at.
