Make a trap catch the enemy who walks onto it, and only once

Traps in a turn-based map need a few firm rules: who sets them off, where the walker ends up, and what happens to the rest of the move. Without them a trap is either harmless, hits friends, or fires again and again. Here are the rules in a short routine.

Why this works

A trap is a promise: step here and it costs you. For that to feel fair, it has to hit only the side it was set against, catch the walker where it stands, and be used up, so one mistake is not paid for twice.

When not to use it

Skip it when movement is free and real-time, or when hidden dangers would feel like cheap punishment for a player with no way to spot them. Give a visible hazard or a warning sign instead.
