#Adding a Stage Hazard

Rising traps, vanishing platforms, and closing walls are plain Scripts living directly on (or next to) the geometry they animate in Workspace — not services, no Bootstrap registration needed. The fastest way to add a new one is to copy the pattern of an existing hazard closest to what you want:

• Rises from the floor and retracts → copy Workspace["New Map"].Stage9_Filler.RisingTrap's pattern
• Fades in/out on a timer → copy Workspace["New Map"].Stage7Bridge.VanishingBridge's pattern
• Two parts sliding toward/away from each other → copy Workspace["New Map"].Stage10WallCrusher's pattern

All three share the same defensive habit worth keeping if you write a new one: wait for the part's CFrame to stop changing for a handful of frames before capturing its resting position, since a bare Script in Workspace can start running before the map-building service finishes positioning things.

See Stage Hazards for how the shipped hazards behave, and Tuning Difficulty if you want your new hazard to scale with a stage's recommended level the way the Stage 10 walls do.
