Spiky Ball Trap

Spiky Ball Traps are a type of trap that can be found naturally in the Jungle Temple.

When activated, the traps dispense orange spiky balls that bounce several times, dealing around 90 damage to players (for which the damage is doubled) and around 40 for enemies. They have a cooldown of 5 /  4 seconds.

Spawn limits
Before the trap spawns a spiky ball, the game goes through every spiky ball in the world, and adds up their "effect" on the trap based on the pixel distance between the trap's center and the spiky ball's center (a tile is 16×16 pixels). A spiky ball's effect is:

Add the "effect" up and if the sum is less than 200 (not equal), the spiky ball can spawn.



Tips

 * Effective for home defense, especially while using enemy-triggered Pressure Plates.
 * While not as effective as Spear Traps, they are still very effective for farming enemies.
