There is nothing special to do.
1.Place trap.
2.Activate.
3.Step In a bear trap.
I believe bear traps doesn't work as intended. In previous stable patch they break a leg. I hope you understand me.
Sorry for my english.

I'm trying to say, what it should work like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzKVHCAKv9c (random video from youtube). But in current state it doesn't work.

Hello bonaqva.
As i have mentioned above, we have tried to set up several traps on the experimental (0.61) servers and the character always got damaged / killed when stepping into them. In case you come across any information, which could lead us towards reproducing the issue, please post it in here.

Geez my above post i was setting the trap, but got leg sprained close to it. I set it in a house, but as i was about to use the scroll wheel to set it, i got a sprain ankle. This then lead to the pain in my leg, and the sounds did not disappear.

I thought it was rather odd with the bear trap.

I got damaged from the trap

Do it 10 times in a row. No damage to ''Blood'' or ''Health''. No damage to items.

character always got damaged / killed

damaged - blood, health ? What aboat ''fracture'' ? No ''fracture'' - bug.
killed - bear traps can kill if stepp into them 2-3 times without using splint/moprhine after each try.
Bear traps it's really fun, but in current state they are useless against players.

Thank you for the video bonaqva.
When the issue occurred, were your other character statuses such as temperature / health / hunger updating correctly? (The temperature value in the debug window was decreasing / increasing, hunger statuses were changing etc.). And were you able to start up any actions or was there "receiving" in their place?

All was perfect.
Tested it on different characters, different players, different servers, different bear traps - same result.

I had tested the bear trap 3/3 times you sprain your ankle when setting it. Never have i seen broken even while setting it.

I was regenning my health from 3000ish blood, and 4900 heath. Food and water bright green @ 3 ticks healing to blood only.

Then, the same thing happens...

You scream for minutes after a split is made.... i have it on video geez.

3/3 times screams some different some more health, to max.

Hello again.
We have confirmed the issue with trap not adding damage to the character, however the trap still can kill the character. We also have confirmed the issue with the sound of hurt characters playing even when there is no sprained ankle status present. As for the damage received when setting up the trap, can you try to aim forward with your mouse, rather than below the character (as that will set the trap further from the character) when setting up the trap and then activate it when character is in safe distance and let us know if the character has received any damage?

@Geez hi :)

Maybe close this ticket cause it is obsolete?
