Magnetic Hall Trap

Seems like I remember some sort of gravity trap but cannot find it. I am creating stats for the Citadel Magnetic Trap. It appears in TCW 318 "The Citadel" at 0:47.

Mechanically I would say it works like a tractor beam. There is a whining sound at the beginning which seems to momentarily incapacitate the clone troopers and Jedi. I think this is a temporary side effect of the trap being sprung as it goes away momentarily and is not used again.

Furthermore, when Anakin is electrocuted, I believe this is different weapon as the administrator pushes a different button an a panel with many other buttons. The electric field appears the same as the Electrical Hallway Trap from earlier in the same episode. Which I am also looking to model.

Any suggestions on both projects?

The gravity trap you are thinking of, came in the hand of thrawn duology iirc.. Where they made the entire corridor weightless, while luke was inside..

If my memory serves, it was a magnetic trap that pulled all their weapons up to the ceiling. Because Anakin’s hand was artificial, it got pulled up, too.

There is a gravity trap in GG10: Bounty Hunters, but it's a floor mount, not ceiling.

EDIT: It's called the Man Trap, on pg. 90 of GG10.

I was thinking of writing one into a module, where over a 3 round period of being in a hall, the gravity would start at 2x normal, then ramp up to 8x normal.

Here is the first draft of what I came up with.

What would that do, to those in metal armor?

Considering how the clone troopers in that clip weren’t affected, I’m moved to wonder exactly how much modern SWU armor is metal anyway.

Also, regarding the stat, I’d suggest changing the Damage to Strength, since the primary effect seems to be a contest of strength.

Clone/stormtrooper armor is not metal. It's plastoid, some kind of futuristic plastic-like product.
