1) How would I go about making a syndrome affect an area around the caster? Basically I want to give a caste an ability to paralyse surrounding enemies for a short time.

2) Can you increase skills temporarily?

Once liquids are implemented properly, you could set up a mandatory test involving potential military dwarves swim through a sea of blood on their way through the testing.

I was actually thinking of how some syndromes were previously applied with SYN_INJECTED as the way to go, for a home-brew syndrome.

I know that second one can be done, and Deon's Witcher mod has several examples you can peek at/steal

FAKEDIT: @ Urist Da Vinci, do victims that died of drowning fare any better?

Good idea. I created two dwarves in the arena with the "True Resurrection" ability, only one of which could swim. I had the non-swimmer drown himself in the deep end, and then controlled the swimmer to retrieve the body and bring it to shore. I then used the ability to bring him back to life, and he was completely unharmed. I wonder how this works in dwarf mode with regard to happiness, relationships, and coffin designations - I doubt Toady anticipated Lazarus dwarves.

Doesn't shapeshifting fully repair the body? Could someone help me incorporate a very brief shape change into my "True Resurrection" ability to actually bring back people who would otherwise die quickly? This could be fun in adventure mode to bring back your own living henchmen.

Deon's mod only affects abilities :\

Material weaknesses are currently only used by the generated vampires and werebeasts I believe, so that's why there's no examples in the raws.  You'd want to dig into an uncompressed save to see if there's any tag showing on the generated raws for specific ones.

It's definitely not a syndrome thing; it's something new just for night creatures.

Here's the best I can fish out of a world.dat. I am most certainly doing something wrong, but I'm posting it here anyway because it's somewhat relevant.

Spoiler: It's a mess. (click to show/hide)

E: It seems Quietust has already made a script for this. I'm sure it will be useful to you all.

I am often bad at phrasing things - don't hesitate to ask for clarification if something I said doesn't make sense.

I tried the revival interaction but it didn't work via coding error. Could somebody help me code it in?

It rather looks like that is what I was looking for- I'll have to run more tests to make sure, but I think you've got it. Thanks!

EDIT: Sure, know that I know what I'm looking for I find it in the Vampire example.

Okay I made the Medusa's gaze work by creating a [CREATURE:MEDUSA_VICTIM] that is a rough copy of a gabbro man except with the [BENIGN] and [IMMOBILE] tags added and most combat-related tags removed. I then added [ITEMCORPSE] and changed the creature tile to that of a statue's. Not my favorite solution but until the mysteries of [CE:CREATURE:___:___] can be delved into, it'll do.

what do you mean mysteries?

[CE:CREATURE:DWARF:MALE] to make a male dwarf
[CE:CREATURE:DWARF:FEMALE] to make a female dwarf

etc

I think that's pretty straight forward: RACE:CASTE

Not much more you could do with that tag than you've already done.

Too bad it's not possible to extract the species from the victim though and make the statue have some related material

How do I make a creature that is female only species that does not require a male to make children?
That's not possible, you need a male on map for any females to get pregnant, and intelligent species females will only get pregnant if married.
well if you make them lay eggs then you could to hatch them into fully grown folks. though I could only do so with Dfusion

Any ideas how to create the NEW creature in Fort or Adv mode (reaction, syndrom, polymorph, animate and etc)?

It can be usefull for:
- Summon spell
- Frankenstein's workshop (create pets from different bodyparts)
- Reaction of making robots (butchered brain + armor set + gem)
and etc

Making a reaction that makes 3 random bodyparts start to rot quite badly.
Code: [Select]
[INTERACTION:NURGLEWRATH]
[I_TARGET:A:CREATURE]
[IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_CREATURE]
[I_EFFECT:ADD_SYNDROME]
[IE_TARGET:A]
[IE_IMMEDIATE]
[CE_NECROSIS:SEV:500:PROB:100:BP:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:BRAIN:START:0:PEAK:50:END:100000]
That's what I've got so far, but I'm not sure how to make it damage random bodyparts. Thanks for the help guys.

Is there anyway to alter the bonus modifiers for item quality or is it hard-coded?

I'd like there to be a performance difference between no-quality and exceptional quality weapons and armor, at least.

There is. Exceptional weapons are more likely to hit and, IIRC, exceptional shields and helmets are more likely to block. (Not sure about the helmets).
