More than one brown button can activate the same trap, but only one trap is released by one brown button; only the first trap a brown button is connected to will be released. To change trap connections, either disconnect or reconnect them (in [[ChipEdit]]), or go to the "Trap Connections" menu and disconnect the tiles (in [[CCEdit]] or [[CCLD]]). In the [[DAT]] file of the [[ruleset#Microsoft_ruleset|Microsoft]] port of the game, the number of connections is limited to a maximum of 25 per level. | More than one brown button can activate the same trap, but only one trap is released by one brown button; only the first trap a brown button is connected to will be released.

When the appropriate brown button is read as pressed (see [[Button Smash Glitch]]), or if it starts on the lower layer, the appropriate trap will allow any object on it to move, although MS rules allow objects to remain on an open trap. An open trap functions as [[acting floor]] for as long as it is open. An object that falls into an unconnected trap remains there for the duration of the level, since there is no way to open it. | When the appropriate brown button is read as pressed (see [[Button Smash Glitch]]), or if it starts on the lower layer, the appropriate trap will allow any object on it to move, although MS rules allow objects to remain on an open trap.

If an ''unconnected'' trap is on the ''lower layer'', it will still trap Chip and [[block]]s that run onto it and be erased by [[monster]]s. In the case when there is a connection, the trap will ''not'' work on Chip when revealed, and will allow Chip to move onto the square after a [[block]] in exchange for being trapped himself. Normally, this is not permitted, as covered in the next section. | If an ''unconnected'' trap is on the ''lower layer'', it will still trap Chip and [[block]]s that run onto it and be erased by [[monster]]s.

Although blocks can also be trapped in traps and released, they become [[acting wall]]s until the trap is opened. If a block ''slides'' into a trap, the block will slide an additional space in the direction it was sent in when it is released, because it is still on the [[slide delay|sliplist]] for one further move. This can be seen in [[Torturechamber]]. | Although blocks can also be trapped in traps and released, they become [[acting wall]]s until the trap is opened.

Even though they may not be connected to anything, traps can often be used to ensure specific monsters that fix the [[Controller and Boss Glitch]] stay facing a certain direction, and can even appear as special types of "[[wall]]s" in levels such as [[Strange Maze]]. | Even though they may not be connected to anything, traps can often be used to ensure specific monsters that fix the [[Controller and Boss Glitch]] stay facing a certain direction, and can even appear as special types of "[[wall]]s" in levels such as [[Strange Maze]]. | ||

In Lynx, an open trap forces an object that touches it, whether it stepped into the trap while it was open or closed, to slide across it as if it were an [[ice]] tile. Although there is no sliplist in Lynx, Torturechamber can still be solved there because of this mechanic: the block, when released, will move L a second time and elicit the same result as in MS. | In Lynx, an open trap forces an object that touches it, whether it stepped into the trap while it was open or closed, to slide across it as if it were an [[ice]] tile.
