Personal thoughts, if the player sets the trap and goes out of distance, a little animation above the player letting them know the trap has sprung would be cool.

I think it should affect anything except friendly players in group.  I don't thing there should be any marks or graphics left on the ground where the trap is, we don't want other players to see it until it's to late. >

Just my thoughts, do as you and others wish.

Well actually I do want it to hit players, just not those who are in the same group as the one who laid it.  I think I misunderstood how it works though, rereading it appears to stay around the player as they walk?

No, it's a trap which is placed. So it stays where you cast the prayer.

An aura prayer is something I haven't yet started working on.

Yeah I was thinking we need a spell effect for it.

Unfortunately it's not possible until we do a Y-update to add the trap sprung notification. I've added it to my list of things to add in the next Y-update.

I'm very excited to see a new spell added!  A few questions:

How powerful is this spell?

What lvl is this learned. I believe the highest skill learned by priests atm is lvl 18.

What town is this quest offered from, do we want to maybe go towards guildhall.  Doing so gives a chance a higher lvl player might run into a lower lvl player and chat/help.

Player community input and ideas are encouraged, feel free to share your ideas. 

IIRC this was finished in trunk several months ago (to include sparklies per smacky's request). I think it should work in the latest mapmaker release. To learn the prayer, enter SA mode and use the '/dm_dev' command to go to the testmaps. Tell the spellgiver ant "learn hallowed ground" and use /setskill to level your DP skill high enough to use it.

However, I still need a quest for prayer, or some other method of acquiring it (buying it, finding it in a prayerbook in a random corpse [requires testing, IDK if spellbooks work properly as we've never used them], etc.). If anyone has any suggestions or can write a quest outline, please speak up.

EDIT: To be clear, I can write the Lua for the quest but if someone wants to write the dialogue for the NPC's it would help a lot.

Sooooo...

I have a different update just about ready to go but I want to merge that one to a 'clean' trunk (ie, same as main). Currently there are several diffs (looks like some random bugfixes, whitespace  changes, and hg).

I propose:

• (I'll look at the code  more closely to understand the intentions, then) i'LL merge the bugfixes etc as an interim.
• I'll write aa hg quest and merge that code as a z update (and maybe _people_ can do a quick client update to bump its z and update face psck).
• Eventually do a further z to add my thing.
