# Placing Traps

Open `/speedtraps`, press **New**, and pick a speed limit. Then set the location in one of these ways:

* **My position:** uses where you're standing or parked, including your heading.
* **Place in world:** the panel hides and an orange ring follows you. A guide at the bottom of the screen shows the street and your heading. Press **E** to set the trap, or **Backspace** to cancel.
* **Pick on map:** click the map. The trap goes exactly where you click, and takes the height and street name of that spot. This works anywhere on the map.
* **Drag:** while a trap is open in the editor, drag its pin to move it, then press **Save**. Click another pin to open it first. The map can be a few metres off, so check the trap in game, or use **My position** or **Place in world** for an exact spot.

### Names

The name fills in from the street when you set the location. If another trap already has that street name, the new one gets `#2`, then `#3`, and so on. You can type your own name.

### Trigger zone

Every trap uses `Config.Detection.Radius` (20 m) around its blip. Put the blip in the middle of the road. Anything driving through that spot over the limit gets a ticket.

Turn on **One direction only** to ticket one side of the road. An arrow on the map pin shows the direction being caught. Click a tier in the map legend to hide or show its traps.

### Blips on the pause map

Trap blips show on the minimap only by default (`Config.Blips.PauseMap = false`). The pause map is left as it is without this script, so other blips can be selected and waypoints go where you click. Set `PauseMap = true` to show trap blips on the pause map too. GTA's map cursor can then lock onto a trap when you set a waypoint on a road that has one.
