Can i set the range for MATERIAL_EMISSION? I dont mean TARGET_RANGE
I've a problem with my throw_a_rock emission. The rock flies way further as intended, harming innocent bystanders, making them part of the fight. Can I somehow make the rock fly not further as 2 tiles?

Why CDI of this secret not work?

which part isnt working? there's a lot of CDI in here. maybe you can narrow it down a bit?

Thank you, for this great answer! It helped me very much.

As you mentioned, the GREETING-interaction is most suited for this situation. It's not very reliable, but it seems to work at least every 3 days: often enought.
I tried to increase their social personality traits, so they would greet eachother more often, but that doesn't seem to work. Maybe I can try the social skills, if this has any impact.
Anyway, the rate of greeting is good enought for me.

I did find a way to make them attack eachother: by using MATERIAL_EMISSION. The way they provoke, is to throw a rock. :-D Well, this definitly does makes them fighting eachother.

however, the fights are a little to violent, so I have to figure out to make it less lethal. Thats up next.

About castes: yes thats not a very handy tool to use in this case. The syndrome-system offers more functionality.

About these Tarkatans, is this a mod you've made? where can I find it?

yeah. wel.. thats a way to look at it. :-D
Anyway, got them tantrumming! thats a step
Now they're complaining, being to injured to fist fight. probably have to give them a attack they can use

Hi all,

Is there a way to make creatures attack a specific creature and caste, or somehow be more agressive towards them?

I want my gorilla creature having multiple male castes. the first is 'dominated', the second is 'pretenders' and the third is 'king'
I want Kings and pretenders to fight eachother, and becomine 'dominated' when defeated. I know I can do a lot with interactions and syndromes, but the targetted agression I cant figure out how to do it.

I'd like to create an animal with a pick as bodypart, so it wouln't need to use a pick. Also, I would like it to be a naturat miner. Is this doable?
I know I can make them intelligent, so later on they apply for citizenship and so on, but can I somehow let them be natural miners?
Some sort of rhino-mole. or 'bulette', if ya know wadda mean.

Hi,
In the occupations screen I can appoint a messenger for my own fortress. Also I can appoint a scholar, not to a library but to my fortress. What can I do with this?
