What you did there is what you do for a plant, not for an inorganic. You probably want to use material reaction products.

Yeah, I looked at a plump helmet for hints :-[ So I should just create another inorganic that is permanently in liquid form, and let this be the product of the reaction? And how do I make it only accept water? :)

I'm currently trying to create a reaction for magical potions/elixirs. I've got an inorganic material that looks like this:

How would I go about accessing the drink? Would the following work?

Does that look right? How would I go about making it require water instead of "any liquid"? Is WATER a material?

ITEM_TOOL_KNIFE_CARVING and ITEM_WEAPON_DAGGER are both subtypes, you're missing the actual item tokens. Put "TOOL:" and "WEAPON:" in front of them, respectively.

Try this:
Code: [Select]
[REACTION:MAKE_DAGGER_FROM_HORN]
[NAME:craft a unicorn horn dagger]
[ADVENTURE_MODE_ENABLED]
[REAGENT:unicorn horn:1:CORPSEPIECE:CREATURE_MAT:UNICORN:HORN]
[REAGENT:knife:1:TOOL:ITEM_TOOL_KNIFE_CARVING:NONE:NONE][PRESERVE_REAGENT]
[PRODUCT:100:1:WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_DAGGER_LARGE:INORGANIC:STEEL]
[SKILL:BONECARVE][/spoiler]

Thank you, works like a charm. :D

You can also just use EBO tags (extra butcher objects) to drop whatever you feel like as an extra item upon butchering. An animal can drop a stone ladle if you want, without any connection to tissues.

Thanks, didn't know about this. :o This will be really useful, seeing as I'm working on a rather "gamey" mod :D

Honestly, not entirely sure. I'm thinking it'll always still have the name attached though, since it came from that creature.

Alright :o Would it be possible to make the unicorn not drop the horn, but still keep it? Then I could add a drop with the EBO tags.
I'm pretty sure [SMALL] on a BP means it won't be dropped.

Thank you :D So I could just create a new bodypart for unicorn horns, add [SMALL] to it and then add my custom drop?

I think I found a work-around though... Just started learning to do reactions, apparently I can use one material (unicorn horn, for example) and then use it to create an object of another material. Sorry about that :p

I'm not quite understanding reactions either. I get the concept, but I get confused with all the NONE's. The following works until I select the knife, so it's either the knife reagent or the product that crashes the game for me. Any hints as to which part is wrong would be greatly appreciated. :)

I'd vote for the "Trees of Death" one. I've had quite a few laughs reading about dwarves randomly falling from trees, or getting crushed underneath felled trees. :D

Uhh... How do I go about creating a unicorn with a steel horn?

Looking at the tissue_template_default, I think that I'll just have to somewhere in the unicorn file specify that the material of the horn is to be steel, and then the tissue_template will grab that value and use it for the tissue?

How would I go about specifying that the horn should be steel?

What I tried so far is to simply change
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:HORN:HORN_TEMPLATE]
to
[USE_MATERIAL:HORN:INORGANIC:HORN_UNICORN]

But when I killed and butchered the unicorn in the arena, it had no horn. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :D

[TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:HORN:<a tissue made of steel you define>]
Here's an example tissue:
   [TISSUE:BLADE]
      [TISSUE_NAME:metal:NP]
      [TISSUE_MATERIAL:INORGANIC:STEEL]
      [RELATIVE_THICKNESS:1]
      [HEALING_RATE:200]
      [CONNECTS]
      [TISSUE_SHAPE:LAYER]

Thank you, now it drops (Insert unicorn's name)'s horn steel, which is definitely progress. Is there any way for me to make it drop just "steel"?

How do I go about spreading rumours about my deeds? Do I have to discuss them through the rumour conversation option for every single kill? Do I have to leave witnesses to the events?

DF Modding / Advice requested: Varied weapons
« on: July 09, 2014, 01:56:38 pm »
I was just wondering if anyone had been playing around with the weapons, considering the new [ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:A:B] token? I think it would be neat to have a mod with more specialised weapons, where they have different attack speeds, and therefore different advantages. I'm not used to balancing and using the arena etc. yet, so I thought I'd look for some advice.

Edit: Changed title & OP. Old title was "Request: Varied weapons"

Mail armour seems to protect the neck to some extent. I've had some bad luck cutting throats through mail armour.

Thank you! Seeing as I'm not used to playing without a graphics pack, this is greatly appreciated. Now those of us who demand awesome graphics can enjoy the new version too. :D
