DANGER! noob question incoming.

How do i make bronze colossi a playable race in adventure mode?

Easy, just make a civ with them as a creature type and have them [Indiv_playable]
----

Who here thinks we should make a thread that is just pretty much a place to post interactions we created, like a spellbook?

I think it's the way towns develop now. In the beginning, people move into a town. Then they start producing tables, which results in more and more tables. Soon tables represent a significant portion of the population, they start lobbying for new laws and regulations, putting people to greater and greater disadvantage...

Awesome!

now a question, is there a way to make a spell require an item? like say a wand or...in my current project, a laser rifle.

Hello Gents, a few questions...

1. How do I make humans keep certain interactions secret like the vampire interaction?

2. How do I make interactions have a chance of happening? Saying this doesn't work
      [SPECIALATTACK_INTERACTION:PROB:#:name]

3. How do I make a creature weak to a certain kind of metal?

Any help is appreciated!

Any idea, why custom wizards never ever take aprentices or write books?
Despite those tags being present?

First 2 I don't know, but 3 is [MATERIAL_FORCE_MULTIPLIER:INORGANIC:GRASS_ENERGY:100:1]  Substitute the metal where GRASS_ENERGY is. That makes them (I think) 100x weaker- 10x weakness to Copper would be [MATERIAL_FORCE_MULTIPLIER:INORGANIC:COPPER:10:1] and 10x resistance to Copper would be [MATERIAL_FORCE_MULTIPLIER:INORGANIC:COPPER:1:10]

I arrived at that conclusion after making turtles resistant to adamantine, giving a human an adamantine warhammer and withdrawing into my shell- the human was completely unable to harm me. Making turtles weak to adamantine made the warhammer sever the shell in 2 blows.

Can't you define probability in the syndrome? Try that.

3. How do I make a creature weak to a certain kind of metal?

[MATERIAL_FORCE_MULTIPLIER:INORGANIC:SILVER:10:1]

I think this means silver is 10x more effective than any other material. Another handy token:

[GENERAL_MATERIAL_FORCE_MULTIPLIER:1:2]

This halves the force of all blows to the creature, unless it's using a weapon of the specified material.

Also, I got Quietust's script to work. Here's some sample stuff in a more readable form.

It seems that there are no differences between each vampire, werebeast or mummy curse created during world gen, by the way. I guess that will come later.

Can anyone think of a way to make a creature polymorph after a certain amount of time? Something like a caterpillar that can turn into a butterfly- maybe a syndrome that takes a hella long time to kick in? Ideally the butterfly would lay eggs that turn into caterpillars, but one step at a time.

Here's an example raw.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

but there are three syndromes attached, all of which should affect the creature if the interaction has taken place. Plus, they would still go berserk. I've turned bite (that's how the creature infects) to SECOND but that seems like a kludge way to do it and is still easy to detect in fortress mode.  :-\

I don't know for sure, but try to give the beast you're were-ing into the [GRASP] tag. (or hands)

The creature I'm trying to turn into is almost identical to the one I'm starting with, but with different body materials and new spells.  It has all the same body parts (plus wings), [EQUIPS], [INTELLIGENT], and all those tags.

Interesting, sounds like something that might be hardcoded. Check to see if you can pick up the items and re equip them. If you can it's probably hardcoded.

Yeah, I can pick them back up and re-equip them, but that sort of defeats the purpose of an emergency escape transformation.

Anyway, I have a new question, that's actually twofold:
1) In what form am I most likely to find milk in adventure mode?  In barrels?
2) How can I make a reaction require a specific creature's milk (cows' milk, for example) that's in a container (if a barrel is the most common milk container, then I'll use that)?

I'm working on a small mod, and I want to make what's basically a narcotic using a new creature's milk.  It'll require the milk, a new plant or two, and an empty flask, and it'll put the new substance (done as another new plant's drink form) in the flask.  Problem is, I don't really know how to do any of that.

EDIT: Okay, so I have this so far:

[REACTION:BREW_FLUFF_POTION]
   [NAME:brew fluff potion]
   [ADVENTURE_MODE_ENABLED]
   [REAGENT:container:1:FLASK:NONE:NONE:NONE]
      [EMPTY]
      [NOT_IMPROVED]
      [PRESERVE_REAGENT]
   [REAGENT:milk:1:
      [UNROTTEN]
   [REAGENT:milk container:1:NONE:NONE:NONE:NONE]
      [CONTAINS:milk]
      [PRESERVE_REAGENT]
      [DOES_NOT_DETERMINE_PRODUCT_AMOUNT]
   [REAGENT:A:1:PLANT:NONE:PLANT_MAT:HERB_VALLEY:PLANT]
   [PRODUCT:100:3:DRINK:NONE:PLANT_MAT:POTION_FLUFF:DRINK]
   [PRODUCT_TO_CONTAINER:container]
   [SKILL:BREWING]

I just need the tags to specify that the milk is coming from [CREATURE:FLUFFBALL].  Within the fluffball's info, the milk is just LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:MILK, but I don't know how to reference it outside of that for a reaction.

Ok, I add to the questions in this thread. I want to make a reaction that turns intelligent dwarves into mindless golems.

Here we go:
      [SYNDROME]
         [SYN_NAME:golem]
         [SYN_CONTACT]
         [SYN_INHALED]
         [SYN_CLASS:WERECURSE]
         [CE_BODY_TRANSFORMATION:START:0:END:999999999]
            [CE:CREATURE:GOLEM:MALE]

I would add the syndrome to a boiling stone produced in a reaction (any better ideas ?) that also requires a lot of metal and some custom reagents. I would make several ones for different metal types. Is the tranformation unlimited ? This would be the goal. (again, any better ideas then 999999999 ?)
How does the creature react, is it a tame pet ?  hostile/friendly ? so many questions, so little time ;)
