I don't think that would be a good idea.

There are alot more than constant raycasts that work for that kind of stuff.
Idea:
1. It will send ONE ray cast when it is created.
2. When the ray cast hit a static object, it creates a 'zone' entity, and a laser emitter.
-If it hits a non-static object, it detonates on instant.
3. When a player enters the 'zone' it triggers an event.

Yes, triggers would probably be the way to go. The hardest part would be defining the trigger's size and shape properly I think.

Derroith:
When the bomb is planted can't it use a different .dts that had an invisible piece that when touched, explodes?

Perhaps, but the problem with that is this invisible piece can go through bricks.

Use triggers, yes.

For the laser you could use a DTS shape with no collision, scaled to the size of the laser. Since the emitter couldn't be told to go only a certain distance on a per-object basis, only as part of a datablock; you'd have to make a line of emitters to make that work.

When you plant it on the floor it should create a large, flat trigger so if you step within a radius of it it detonates.
