What you can do is use the ToggleElement script to toggle the danger area on and off during the same script that makes them turn on and off. So whatever script you have (areatrigger?) that makes them turn on, have that same script point to "ToggleElement" and have ToggleElement point to the danger area. This will turn it on and off when the spikes turn on and off.

Cool. I think I understand. I'll give it a go. Thanks.

Hey, I'm trying to figure out how to get the trap_spikes.xml to do damage only when activated. I understand I can put it on top of a danger area, but it will still do damage even when it's de-active. Maybe I'm going about it the wrong way? Please help.

I just tried again, this time with the example folder and it worked fine. Will investigate further as to why the other folder won't pack.

Hmm, can you try using an absolute path and see if that works?

Like this?

dan@aria:~$ mono /home/dan/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Hammerwatch/editor/LevelPacker.exe /home/dan/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Hammerwatch/editor/custom_dan/

Awesome. I'll give it a try and report back.

Here's the output I got:

I've searched the entire internet for this 

I am running Ubuntu 12.04. I'm able to create and test my level from the Hammerwatch.exe located in the /editor folder. I've read somewhere that to pack your level, you need to drag and drop your level folder onto the LevelPacker.exe icon. This does not work for me.

If I simply try to open the LevelPacker.exe, I get a quit flash of terminal and nothing else. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
