You may ignore a Trap's alternative cost condition and simply cast it for its normal mana cost. This is true even if its alternative cost condition has been met.

2009-10-01wotc

You may target any creature, not just one that dealt damage to you this turn.

2009-10-01wotc

Inferno Trap's alternative cost condition checks for any damage, not just combat damage.
