Yay! I have five rooms now! And one great trap! But I need ideas for TRAPS in a level set in a maya ruin, with only these weapons to use against Lara:

• Wolves
• Bats
• Chains
• Movable Blocks
• Collapsable Floor

I do not have:

• Spikes
• Boulders
• Ropes
• Fire

Please, any help would be appreciated! Ideas can be what ever, as long as they would go with the setting. Read the story below...

------------------
TOMB RAIDER: THE CHIHOLTOPEC IDOL

The year is 1997, and Lara is off on another adventure! This time, she is going deep into the jungles and foothills of Central America. Finding a cave entrence, she eagerly steps into the gloom. But the ground beneath her breaks apart, and she is sent tumbling down into the mountain side...

Unknown to her, she has stumbled upon the shrine of Chiholtopec, an ancient Maya god. The reclaiming of his idol from the buried temple will allow it's bearer to rule the gift of unhindered sight. That is, if they can't pass the three tests of this god...

But of course, Lara is not the only one who wants the idol...

Expect the first level to come out near February!

Ropes, Spikes, Smoke emitters and Flame emitters are standard in every wad. If you don't have those, you need to add them. You really don't save much by deleting them, since tomb4 has them built-in, so they are always there.
There should be a way to retexture the rope to be a vine, or maybe a chain. Has anyone done this? How about recoloring the flames, like making them blue or something?

I have a couple of ideas for great traps. I'm not sure whether to keep them for my own level, or give them away. Anyway, it looks like you couldn't use them. Sorry.

I got my WAD from King Spyders site. The City of Vilcabamba WAD does not have any ropes or flames, much less spikes. Any ideas as to traps with the objects I do have? Or traps that would involve water or something that i do not need objects for.
