How to set traps?

I might just be horribly daft right now but I can't figure out how to actually set traps?
Disarm and craft no problem but how do I set them? Just putting them on the floor didn't seem to work.

 

You can only set the traps that you 'pick up'. Disarming a trap makes it go away. Either way, you simply click on the trap and click on the floor tile to set it there.

 

Huh. Thanks. I thought I tried that and it didn't work. Gonna try again I guess.

 

I personally havnt used traps yet, but, if it had to be my guess, it would function much like using a wand.

Right click to assign it to the box, then right click the floor tile to set it.

Again, if the previous advice didnt work, thats what i would try

 

You can only place it in the floor tiles next to you, there is no distance placing.

 

No you can't use traps like a wand or ranged attack. You have to click on it and place it on an adjacent tile as Ian said.
