Talk:Trap

Regarding the noose trap - I crouch walked around the island and placed several down around cannibal effigies and the big knotted trees hoping to catch cannibals in the traps without them knowing I was there. I was curious if a cannibal caught in the trap would stay caught or if he/she would be freed (or perhaps, be eaten as punishment for being caught in a trap to begin with) by other cannibals. I never observed a cannibal getting caught by the trap who wasn't trying to kill me, nor did I observe a caught cannibal being freed by others, but I did observe several traps that had been tripped with nothing in them except that there was a glitchy rope that stuck out sort of horizontally from the loop and wildly moved left and right. In one case, eventually I saw that this glitchy rope was connected to a female cannibal, who would run for a few steps, then get teleported back to where she started. She seemed to be able to move (somewhat), but didn't react to my presence. With a later trap, I saw a caught cannibal simply disappear at dawn, and in her place, a glitchy rope exactly like the first cannibal appeared. I'm guessing the despawning at dawn is intended behavior since the cannibals are supposed to be nocturnal, but should a cannibal that I am looking directly at despawn like that?

Also, for the curious, it seems that animals can trip these noose traps and are killed by it. I found several tripped traps (with no glitchy ropes) with an animal corpse on the ground on the spot where the trap would be tripped.

Just want to say that traps seems to reset on restarting the game from a save.

Posible glitchs
I have had nooses with cannibals that will be tied to the rope but will run around like normal so I have a rope flying around with a cannibal attached lol. I have also had cannibals be trapped but they float away and end up like 30 feet away from the trap.

Would it be better to redirect all the individual trap pages to this page?
Going to leave this question up for awhile before I do it. The traps themselves are maybe not substantial enough to have their own page.Trublucaribou (talk) 21:00, 10 February 2017 (UTC)Trublucaribou
