That means you got the species wrong in the code. Ill look a little more and see if I can help, haven't seen your codes yet.

Well there is your problem: you have that syndrome formed wrong. For a comparison, here is one that turns things into a dwarf:

You don't even have the target CE:CREATURE, so it just goes to the default toad.

So if you want it to work the way I think you want it to work, you would have to do something like:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

That will temporarily turn the dwarf of the proper gender into a borg. If you JUST want it to work on dwarves/humanoids, you will have to change it a little bit, same thing if you want it to be permanent. At the moment, it would turn anything from cats to alligators into borg...which means you should probably do:


Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Which will only affect dwarves of the correct gender.

I tried using this

But it still turned the human into a toad.

Which one did you try?

Either way, that must mean the creature is off... It is probably something to do with the way you did you castes.

You have two castes both called HUMAN instead of MALE and FEMALE.

Also, you don't need an END and you can START at 0.

With my goofing around while modding, I eventually came across a few questions,

1. How would I spawn a creature from a custom workshop? The workshop is called a Golem forge, and that pretty much explains what it makes.

2. What would be the specific tag to enter in the workshop for needing a large gem (any kind) in order to build it?

3. Is there any way to get a creature to drop a specific item upon death without their bodies transforming into it, and without needing to butcher them?

4. How would I create a creature that runs around dropping a "bag" item, that you could "open" in a custom workshop? I have a general idea of using custom reactions, but that's about it. I think I might be able to have the bag item be considered a mineral and have a custom smelter-like workshop, with a reaction that doesn't require fuel and such, but I need some help with the idea, as I'm not a very skilled modder.

1.  There's not a good way, you have to use a complicated and imperfect work around, see Legends of Forlorn Realms constructs or Masterwork spawn points for a couple examples.  Also since it sounds like  you're a beginning modder, then I'd be doing you more of a favor to just say no it's not possible ^^

2.  [BUILD_ITEM:1:GEM:NONE:NONE:NONE][CAN_USE_ARTIFACT]

GEM is large gems

3.  http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Creature_tokens#I
See ITEMCORPSE

edit:  Oh, sorry, i missed what you meant by "without transforming into it."  As far as I know the options are ITEMCORPSE or EBO (what Deon described below).

4.  Make the ITEMCORPSE a tool, learn how to do custom reactions*, make a custom reaction that converts the tool into stuff, you can do the product list with or without randomness

* Download a mod that you like, play a couple games, then open their raws and see how it works.  Use the wiki or Hugo's Modding Wiki as guide.  Post here when you have specific questions

4. If you want the creature to still leave a corpse, you can use EXTRA_BUTCHER_OBJECT tag to make it drop the item when butchered. Look at gizzard stones in alligators for example.

Where can i find the raw's for crafts and mugs, i want to lower their value so you cant just use stone because it would be to low value to trade.
and where do i find the craftsman workshop  raw's i also want to make the progress to make these items longer.

Both of these are hardcoded right now, so no can do sadly. The best you can do is to make it so that the various stones as a whole are worth less, therefore lowering the value of all stone products.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

You could make a new craft workshop, but you can't remove any of the hardcoded ones (including the old workshop). Currently the only non-hardcoded workshops in vanilla that could potentially be remove are the soap maker's workshop and the screw press.
