Example

// On Disarm: If the trap creator is a valid PC, we give 10 XP because it is hard to disarm, as long as they didn't place it!
void main()
{
    // Trap is us
    object oTrap = OBJECT_SELF;
    // Get creator
    object oCreator = GetTrapCreator(oTrap);
    object oDisarmer = GetLastDisarmed();
 
    // Check if the creator is a PC, and not the disarmer
    if(GetIsObjectValid(oCreator) &&
       GetIsPC(oCreator) &&
       oCreator != oDisarmer)
    {
        // Award 10XP
        GiveXPToCreature(oDisarmer, 10);
    }
}
