Creating a Basic Spike Trap with Sequencer for Animations

Prerequisites

Monks Active Tile Triggers

Monks Token Sidebar

Sequencer

Tagger

Credits:

Wasp - for whom these animations wouldnt be possible without Tagger and Sequencer and for the examples he did using MidiQOL and Traps on the Sequencer Wiki.

Create or Reuse the same Trap Actor

Create a Tile for the Animation and tag it using Tagger

Create the steps as per the basic trap for requesting the rolls

Add an additional action for running a macro that triggers the animation

Here is the macro I am using

const [spike] = await Tagger.getByTag('spike-trap'); // this gets the tile tagged as spike-trap in order to use as a location
new Sequence()
  .effect()
    .atLocation(spike)
    .file("modules/jaamod/AnimatedArt/Traps/SpikesTrapD.webm")
    .scaleToObject()
  .play();

(The spike trap animation is from Jinkers Art Pack)

Creating Ranged Traps with Sequencer for Animations

The following animations are by JB2A - Jules & Ben's Animated Assets (patreon version available))

Create a new Tile for the source of the attack

Create the tagged macro for the location and the ranged attack

const [lightning] = await Tagger.getByTag('lightning');

new Sequence()
    .effect()
        .atLocation(lightning)
        .stretchTo(canvas.tokens.controlled[0])
        .file("jb2a.chain_lightning.primary.red")
    .play();

Create your Tile Trigger Zone (or single tile) with the triggers as per the previous sections for your needs. ensure you select the macro correctly to your ranged attack

Press save and done.

But what about more ranged zones?

Create a separate tile for the new location the trap fires from and give it a second tag

Modify the macro to have a new Sequencer effect block.

const [lightning] = await Tagger.getByTag('lightning');
const [lightning1] = await Tagger.getByTag('lightning-1');

new Sequence()
    .effect()
        .atLocation(lightning)
        .stretchTo(canvas.tokens.controlled[0])
        .file("jb2a.chain_lightning.primary.red")
 .effect()
        .atLocation(lightning1)
        .stretchTo(canvas.tokens.controlled[0])
        .file("jb2a.chain_lightning.primary.red")
    .play();
