Introduction

The true nature of traps in GMod is that they must be sprung without you or someone else to activate it on the person who is going to be trapped. The most fun traps are the ones that are activated by the victim, such as pressing a button when it tells you not to, then you die by trap. Remember use the color tool to use make most of the important part of these traps invisible.

{{Contraption| name = Blade Gun | author = GuyThirteen | date = 29 March 2011 | description = This trap makes it so that you create a spinning blade wherever you click.)}

Construction

1. Spawn a prop about as high as a barrel. Or you can just use a barrel.
2. Spawn anything that resembles a long pole or beam.
3. Axis the center of your long pole/beam to the center of your barrel/high-as-a-barrel-prop.
4. Attach a thruster with a force of 10,000 to the edge of the long pole/beam. Make sure the toggle is ON.
5. Now activate the thruster.
6. Make everything invisible.
7. Duplicate your invisible spinner (might take some work)

And now, wherever you click, there'll be a spinning blade thing. Laugh as people cluelessly run into it.

Smasher Trap

Traps: Smasher Trap

Description:	This will show you how to make what I call a smasher trap. Smasher traps can kill you in 2 ways: launching you into the air and you dying from the fall or the initial blow from the trap. This one we shall call the head cracker.
Original Author:	Ybbat
Created:	2 December 2006
Notes:	-

Construction

1. Spawn a flat prop that is not too heavy.
2. Use the PhysGun to move the prop into the air and freeze it a little bit past the wall.
3. You can now place a hydraulic constraint with 0 width (makes it invisible) from the prop to the almost never ending sky that is bound to key "0". (I used about 100 extra length for this trap). If you look all the way down place one end then look straight up it will be perfectly straight.
4. Now put a button with the same number ("0") underneath the the prop, and put something like "Please don't press this". Someone will try to be a jerk and get their butt kicked.
5. Try it out! Or get someone else to...

Dropped container trap

Traps: Dropped container trap

Description:	This trap drops a dumpster on top of the victim and traps them. When a mingebag decides to destroy your stuff.
Original Author:	Ybbat
Created:	2 December 2006
Notes:	-

Construction

1. Spawn a prop that will hold up the dumpster.
2. Easyweld it to the wall above the doorway.

4. Board up the door so that you cant get through and there is one main board that can block the whole thing using the easy weld tool.
5. Spawn a dumpster, place it near the prop that will hold it up and create a pulley from the dumpster to the prop holding it then to the main plank of wood.
6. Wait for a minge to decide to destroy your wooden planks! And TRAP!

Flipper

Traps: Flipper

Description:	this is filed under traps because the majority of things you can do with it is make one.
Original Author:	Macaco
Created:	December 10 2006
Notes:	-

Construction

First, make two long blast doors. Place one with it's tip against a wall, and then place the tip of the second so it is touching the free tip of the first door, so it is square-ish then weld it together, unfreeze it and place it against a wall, then duplicate it on top of each other (as needed) just right to quickly complete the bulk of the contraption (see Picture 1 for what it should look like), then spawn another and let it fall flat, push it against a wall to get it straight and angled right - the long end should be flat against the wall. Now pick it up, noclip up to the top and freeze it on the way it is shown in Picture 2. Create an Adv Ballsocket between them with the default settings. Spawn a razor blade, and flatten it against the bottom of the door you just placed, freeze it, use Keep Upright on the flipper part with the blade under, place five maximum power thrusters on the tip (Picture 3) and you're done!

Bad vending machine

Traps: Bad vending machine

Description:	A vending machine trap.
Original Author:	Mr. G
Created:	Unknown
Notes:	-

This trap is easily constructed and has multiple variants, both with and without the Turret tool-mode.

Construction

1. Spawn a Vending machine
2. Add an instance of a button keyed to whichever key you intend to use to trigger the trap. Its title can be anything you like.
3. To create a crushing trap, add max-power thrusters to the top of the back, keyed to the same key as your button on the front is. Ideally, it will tip over and crush the user when triggered.
4. For a turret trap, noclip a turret into the vending machine aiming toward where the user will be when it is triggered. Set the delay low and the damage high.

One nasty Trick

Traps: One nasty Trick

Description:	A player-only killer
Original Author:	TommyGun
Created:	7/1/07
Notes:	-

This trap is intended to be used outside any fort doors.

Construction

1. Create a button with a message related to opening the door. Bind it to an unused key.
2. Create some turrets pointing towards where the button-pusher will be. Bind them to the unused key.
3. Finally, make the turrets invisible.

Blades Of Death

Traps: Blades Of Death

Description:	A spawn killer
Original Author:	Tehelee
Created:	Whenever
Notes:	-

Construction

Create a long object and leave it there. Then spawn a wheel (tractor wheel) and easy weld the object to it. Place this at a spawn area. (duplicate to cover entire area. Turn them on. watch as people constantly die and respawn. Jump in and join the fun! ^^

(Note: This is an incredibly "mingebag" trick. Only use this if others know about it or you will probably get kicked or banned.)

Barrel Mine

Traps: Barrel Mine

Description:	An invisible mine that is a sure kill.
Original Author:	Qwerty091
Created:	February 4, 2007
Notes:	-

Construction

1. First spawn a explosive barrel from the spawn menu.
2. Grab it with the gravity gun, and chuck it straight up.
3. Before it hits the ground, switch to the Physgun and catch it.
4. Bring it down and freeze it a few feet in the air.
5. Easy weld the barrel to the ground in an area that you think is a nice choke point.
6. Paint the barrel invisible, make sure you remember where it is so you don't set it off yourself!
7. Sooner or later someone will walk into the barrel and, Boom!, instant death.

• After you shoot the barrel with the gravity gun its properties are changed. After being thrown, as soon as the barrel touches anything it will explode. However this doesn't seem to happen when you easy weld the barrel to the ground. This means that you can fix a barrel in this volatile state to anything to create a powerful trap.

Watermelon Trap

Traps: Watermelon Trap

Description:	A trap based on the ones from cartoons for catching dumbasses.
Original Author:	B3N
Created:	February 25th, 2007
Notes:	-

Construction

This is what you will be building.

To build this trap, you'll need a pile of melons, a dumpster and a black canister.

Place the canister where you would like to set up the trap, then freeze it. You have two choices now. You can either use a winch or a thruster. I'm gonna do it the classic way and use a winch. You want the canister to fly out from underneath the dumpster quickly, so if you're using a winch, make sure the decrease length speed is turned up, and if you're using a thruster, turn the power up.

Make sure the canister is froze, then get your dumpster and turn it upside down.

Slowly lower one of the edges of the dumpster onto the canister. The back end of the dumpster should start to drop to the floor. When it's balanced, freeze it.

Now place your watermelons under the trap and unfreeze the dumpster and canister. They should move a little but shouldn't fall over.

Now set up an RT camera, place the display on your HUD, find somewhere secluded and wait for your first dumbass. When one comes, all you need to do is activate your thruster or decrease the length of the winch and you've caught your first n00b.

You could also go to materials on the menu, select volume light and shoot the dumpster to see your n00b either saying lol in chat, putting thrusters on the dumpster to get out or shooting your melons. Sometimes using volume light will trick him/her into thinking you've moved the dumpster.

Finally, as an idea for the next time you make this trap, you could use volume light on everything except the watermelons.

Zombie Trap

Traps: Zombie Trap

Description:	A simple trap which will overwhelm your unwitting victim.
Original Author:	Twisted
Created:	March 29th, 2007
Notes:	-

Construction

1. First you need to have a base with at LEAST two floors. This trap is only for specific types of bases, ones with editable floors and some space to spare.
2. Create a hole in your floor and make sure a CLOSED room is below it. NOTE IT HAS TO BE CLOSED
3. Create a small sliding opening using a winch or a muscle, and assign the movement to a key
4. Create a button so that when you press the button you are standing on the trapdoor. Make a meaningful message such as "Press this to enable god mode"
5. Populate the room below with zombies. Normal ones are fine but remember Poison ones combined with fast ones will make for a quicker and more likely kill.

Invisible Box

Traps: Invisible Box

Description:	Traps the gullible victim... Then blows them up!
Original Author:	israel5000
Created:	29 June 2007
Notes:	-

Requirements

• 1 dumpster or 4 blast doors
• 1 blast door
• 1 explosive barrel
• 1 blade
• Wheel tool
• Weld tool
• Hydraulics tool
• Buttons
• Knowledge of making things invisible

Construction

1. Place the dumpster or 4 blast doors to form a box, with the opening at the bottom, low enough for someone to walk under. Weld them together if they are the doors, then to the ground.

1. Place the blast door on the ground directly under the box, kind of like a lid, use hydraulics to attach it to the ground. (optional: attach a camera on this piece, facing upward to watch the explosion.)

1. Place two buttons on the trap, one on the bottom, saying something that gullible noobs would fall for, assigned to a key that would send it upward enough to hit the rest of the trap. (optional: make it no collision with the rest of the trap, and make the other part attached to ground with hydraulics, assigned to the same key to bring it down, crushing the victim [also known as "The Jaw"]) (more options: make the button say something like press to fire turrets, and add turrets in a ring around the door, but not assigned to a button, don't make these invisible later on.)

1. Place a wheel at the top of the trap, inside the box, attach the blade to it and assign the spinning of the wheel to a random unassigned key, place a barrel within range of the spinning blade, (optional: place more barrels for more explosive fun) now place a button on the wall of the trap, inside the box, assigned to the same key as the spinning blade, saying something like press to escape (it would be true because they die).

1. Make everything except the buttons and optional turrets invisible, and watch as the stupid victim is blown straight to hell.

Mouse Trap

Traps: Mouse Trap

Description:	Well, it's a mouse trap, what else ?. Ok, this is a proximity triggered trap, it means that your victim doesn't need to push a button or destroy something to trigger the trap, just come near it. It's a bit tricky, and has to be "reloaded" each time it's triggered, but it's very effective and fun anyway. You only need PHX models.
Original Author:	_Kilburn
Created:	1 September 2007
Notes:	-

Requirements

• 2x4 PHX wooden panel
• 2x2 PHX metal wire
• Any small unbreakable prop (jar, cola can...)
• Easy Ball Socket tool
• Elastic
• Pulley
• Console + "kill" or Dynamite (or whatever you want that can kill you, but Console is the best way to do it)

Construction

1. Spawn a 2x4 PHX wooden panel, and a 2x2 PHX metal wire. Freeze the wooden panel
2. Use the Easy Ball socket to constraint the 2 points shown on the "Step 2" image. Do the same for the other side.
3. Now, put the metal frame in the position show on the "Step 3" image, spawn a jar (or any prop that is about the same size, it's not important), and easy weld it on the wooden panel, as shown on the image.
4. Take the elastic tool, set the Constant to 10000, and put the elastic between the metal frame and the wooden part (look at "Step 4").
5. Now that the trap is ready, let's load it! Grab the metal frame, and stretch the elastic, then freeze the metal frame.
6. Take the physgun and kill yourself (type "kill" in the console, or spawn a dynamite, take the physgun, and trigger the dynamite). You'll drop your physgun. You can use the Duplicator so you don't have to kill yourself again when reloading the trap.
7. Easy weld the physgun to the center of the trap. (Stay away from the physgun, or you will collect it, and it will disappear)
8. Take the Pulley constraint, shoot the physgun, then shoot the jar twice, and finally, shoot the metal frame.
9. Unfreeze the metal frame, and wait ! :D
10. Return to Step 5 to reload.

How it works ? Very simple. The physgun you have welded on the trap is a collectable item (since you have dropped it while dying), and prevents the trap from activating. As soon as someone comes near it, it will be automatically collected and deleted, and then...

Blinding Trap

Traps: Blinding Trap

Description:	A really cruel trap that makes anyone that pushes the button completely blind. Doesn't require any addon =)
Original Author:	_Kilburn
Created:	3 September 2007
Notes:	-

Requirements

• Camera
• Any flat, large prop, Material and Colour Tools
• Button
• Dynamite
• Any large breakable prop

Construction

1. Spawn some large and flat prop (a fence will do nicely), apply the flat white material to it, and make it completely black. Put it somewhere far away from the place where you want to set up the trap, so it doesn't look suspicious.
2. Face the prop, come close to it, spawn a camera, and bind it to the * key, for example. Make sure that you see only blackness when you switch to the camera view.
3. Spawn a breakable prop (a wooden crate, for example).
4. Attach a button (using the same key as the camera) to the crate.
5. Spawn a dynamite (still using the same key as the camera and the button), no-collide it with the crate, and hide it inside of the crate, then weld it to the crate. (you can make the dynamite invisible if you want)
6. Attach some attractive decoration the the crate, lights, wheels, thrusters and stuff. It doesn't matter.
7. And wait. :P

Well, why is it so cruel ? It's quite simple. This trap has two effects:

• Classic dynamite trap : the victim will probably be killed by the dynamite.
• Blinding trap : the victim's view will be changed to the camera view. Thus, he will see nothing but a black screen. Moreover, the crate will be destroyed by the dynamite, and the button will be gone. He can kill himself, do whatever he wants... no way to get back to the normal view.

(There IS actually a way to do it, but minges are too stupid to think of it ;P )

Customization

• You can also place the camera in the black room, in gm_construct, for example, or put a Wired Text Screen (with some text such as "LOL YOU GOT PWNED", or "YOU MINGEBAG !") in front of it.
• You can replace the dynamite by a turret with high damage, and place it so it shoots directly at the crate. Don't forget to make it invisible.
• You can use a non-breakable prop instead of the crate, and just use a slider/elastic/thruster or hydraulic/thruster combo on a prop so it pushes the victim away when he presses the button. This also makes the trap re-usable.

Turret Trap

Traps: Turret Trap

Airstrike

Traps: Airstrike

Description:	Call an airstrike on demand.
Original Author:	dunkdude3
Created:	22 November 2007
Notes:	-

Requirements

• Some type of explosive prop that explodes on contact with the ground.
• A breakable prop, one that makes players want to destroy it.

Construction

1. Put the breakable prop somewhere on the map, preferably in an open field.
2. Weld the breakable prop there.
3. Get the explosive props and put them high above the prop. Freeze them there.
4. Weld them to the breakable prop.
5. Unfreeze everything.

If done right, breaking the breakable prop will cause the explosives to drop to the ground and explode on contact. You may want to paint these invisible, or else the players probably will think twice about breaking it.

Land Mine

Traps: Land Mine

Description:	Explodes when someone walks on it

Construction

1. Wield the physgun. Then press your key for changing to gravity gun (mine is g).

4. Press g to change to physgun and grab the barrel before it hits the ground.
5. Freeze the barrel in the air and open Advanced ball socket.
6. Check "No-collide" and "Free movement". Click the barrel, then the ground.
7. Grab the barrel, then put it in the ground with the top sticking out just a little bit. If it's completely underground, they won't hit it, and it won't explode.
8. Go to color, and turn all the numbers on the right to zero, and the configuration to alpha. Apply to the barrel.
9. Weld the barrel to the ground and you're done! Now all you have to do is wait for someone to step on it and die.

Zombie Trap Floor

Traps: Zombie Trap Floor

Description:	One door, one button, second floor door?
Original Author:	MarcFirewing
Created:	September 7 2008
Notes:	Some noclipping required. Updated with new style.

Construction

1. Build a two floor fort. (I used yellow blocks from a builder's pack )
2. Make the first floor inaccessible, this is where noclip comes in handy.
3. Go inside and open your NPC tab and Disable AI, spawn zombies on the first floor.
4. Now, make a small clearing wide enough for a person to fall from.
5. Make a small platform that will reach up to the second floor of your fort, from the clearing.
6. Make a door right there that would lead into your second floor.
7. Put a button or a keypad next to it.
8. This part's tricky, you should be over the small opening that you made on the ground floor, but on the platform. you want to make it so you can fall off the platform, on the inside, leading to the zombie floor. You're making a kind of U shape. Look down in the video if you're confused.
9. Spawn a part to cover the empty space, and use the Axis tool on the corner and attach it so that it can fall down like a trap door.
10. Spawn a cardboard box, not wooden, and stack it up without freezing or welding, right under the trap door.
11. Now spawn a turret next to the cardboard boxes, and make that fire when Keypad 1 is pressed.
12. Make sure the platform covering the trap isn't frozen and is resting on the cardboard boxes.
13. Spawn a button right on, or above, the door on the platform, keypad 1. Any description you want.
14. Make a walkway up to the second floor platform where the trap is, and that's it!

Temporary Freeze

Traps: Temporary Freeze

Description:	Not a contraption, but a very simple method for creating frozen props that unfreeze as soon as something touches them. Absolutely no addon required!
Original Author:	_Kilburn
Created:	March 12 2009
Notes:

Construction

1. Spawn any prop (a melon for instance), and freeze it wherever you want.
2. Spawn a glass bottle (actually, any breakable prop should work), and freeze it as well.
3. Weld your melon to the glass bottle.
4. Unfreeze the melon.
5. Break the bottle with the crowbar.

It's as simple as that. The melon should still stay frozen in the air, but as soon as you touch it, it should unfreeze and fall down. If you want to know how it works, it's pretty simple. Whenever a physics object isn't moving anymore, the Source engine puts it in an hibernation state, so it isn't computed anymore until it receives another external physics input (aka, it doesn't move until something touches it). Here, we are simply breaking the weld constraint in an unusual way, tricking the engine into thinking the melon should still stay in its hibernation state.

This opens a whole lot of possibilities for traps that are triggered without the need of buttons, use your imagination!

5. Make a button that mingebags will love, and make it match the hydraulic key.
6. Stand back and make yourself a mingebag sandwich.

Capture & destroy

Traps: Capture & destroy

Description:	The enemy walks into the container, to be trapped, and they will notice smoke, then flames burn the enemy.
Original Author:	Eggmaster2000
Created:	April 17 2010
Notes:	I'm not going to specify EXACT props, but just the properties said props require.

Construction

1. Spawn a large container, and another large container.
2. Place them on top of eachother, facing the same direction.
3. Use the ballsocket to weld the front corners of the containers together, so they open and close.
4. Lift the container above the ground, and create a prop to act as a ramp, a metal plate will suffice.
5. Weld said ramp to the bottem container, and no collide the ramp and BOTH containers.
6. Test it, if the container successfully closes, you're doing it right.
7. Spawn a breakable wooden box and some dynamite next to it with max power, set it to 0.
8. Make sure the Container is "open", then freeze it and weld it to the wooden box, unfreeze it.
9. Create a button in the container set to 0.
10. Spawn several barrels (not explosive) and place them under the container, don't freeze them, but no collide them with the container.
11. Add hoverballs to each barrel with very low power, that so the barrels rise SLOWLY, set them to 0.
12. Use the ignite tool on each barrel.

THE RESULT

- The victim walks up the ramp, into the container, and presses the button. The dynamite explodes and destroys the crate. The weld brakes and the container closes, trapping the victim. The victim sees flaming barrels rise into the container, and he burns.

This MAY not work, you may need to tweak it a little. I may update this after proper testing and add in some pics... if I can be bothered ^^.

Original Author:	marioguy2600
Created:	December 13, 2010
Notes:	You may need admin privileges for some tools, and I am not responsible for any kicks or bans.

The Dynamite Protection (MAY NEED ADMIN PRIVILEGES) If your Jeep gets stolen or taken by somebody, and freezing your car doesn't work, try placing dynamite around your car, and making the dynamite invisible, then hide someplace where the burglar can't see you, but you can see the burglar. When the burglar comes around, deploy the dynamite. Killing him instantly, that darn burglar should never come around your stuff again.

WireMod Security Panel (NEEDS WIREMOD) (MAY NEED ADMIN PRIVILEGES) If that burglar steals stuff in your house in DarkRP, WireMod a security panel, connecting to your door, making it lock or unlock. If that burglar puts in the wrong code, you can set up a Law Penalty, including taking his Phys Gun away.

Death Trap If dat burglar tries to steal your car again, try welding a platform using doors from the HL2 Eli's Lab chapter, placing hoverballs on the corners, hiding the hoverballs and then placing the platform on the ground, then placing the car on the platform. When the burglar comes on the platform, hoverball the platform up, then release the hoverball button, making him fall and get big fall damage, telling him to never touch your stuff again.

That Damn Turret Trap (MAY NEED ADMIN PRIVILEGES) Spawn 2 NPC Turrets, freeze them at the entrance of your house, and then make them invisible using the Fade Fast effect.

1. TO TURN THE TURRETS ON AND OFF - Use the "Ignore Players" checkbox in the NPC Menu to turn the Turrets on and off.

HAXXXXXXXX When that burglar comes along, gravity gun a computer monitor at their head. (NOTE - This also works with a Sawblade)
