If I wanted to make it so that, say, babies born in an evil biome were transformed into ghouls, could I make it so that the biome only transformed babies or is that   not yet possible?

[Putnam]

Nope.

[kopout]

crud.

[i2amroy]

I think you could do this with a bit of a workaround, though it wouldn't have any effect in world generation and you might get a bit of weirdness with new migrants where they would be vulnerable to being transformed until they had been at your fortress for the set amount of "vulnerable" time (so if your interaction only effected dwarves for the first year of their life then migrants would be vulnerable for the first year). Also any traders or liasons would be vulnerable as well.

Basically what you do is give dwarves a dwarf targeting interaction with zero cooldown. This interaction does 2 things:
1)It instantly applies a harmless syndrome with a class called VULNERABLE.
2)After the period of time you want them to be vulnerable (say a year) the first syndrome wears off and a second harmless syndrome with a class called IMMUNE is applied permanently.
This interaction cannot target creatures that have either the VULNERABLE or IMMUNE syndromes, to stop dwarves from spamming the interaction.

Have your "ghoul conversion" reaction be unable to target creatures with the IMMUNE syndrome class. (You will want this interaction to either have a low chance of triggering, or to have a rare frequency so that all of your dwarves aren't turned into ghouls in their window of vulnerability.)

The original seven are also vulnerable

Make alcohol give the INMUNE syndrome. SInce babies don't drink, they will be vulnerable until they become childs. All adults will be
inmune since their first drink.

[Dunamisdeos]

Science has now concluded that rampant drunkenness prevents SIGS (Sudden Infant Ghoul Syndrome).

[kopout]

In a test of ghouls as a seprat entity (I put them in the dwarf cive insted of dwarves) I found that, as per their NOT_LIVING status, the undead leave them alone. however, much like how dwarves will run from groundhogs ghouls will run from zombie pecock skins.

Make alcohol give the INMUNE syndrome. SInce babies don't drink, they will be vulnerable until they become childs. All adults will be
inmune since their first drink.

but what about migrants and the starting 7? wont they be at risk until the first time they get thirsty?

i have a theroical workaround for that
First the syndrome only gives a ALMOST_VULNERABLE syndrome (not sure if this is needed) for a half year then it gives VULNERABLE , then if till then they have not drunk alcohol (wich would give IMMUNE syndrome) they will transform => so no male dwarfes will transform but babies dont drink 'till they become child (more then a half year)

[kopout]

Here are the ghouls as they are now. I still havent made the interaction to turn babies into them.

what do you guys think?

[Putnam]

Hairless

Also, you may want to rename it to something less... dupe-raw-y. Knight Otu has K_O_(letter representing mod)_CREATURENAME, for example; I just have CREATURENAME_MODID or CREATURENAME_PUTNAM. You can do whatever you feel like. It's not required, just good etiquette.

[kopout]

For compatibility with other mods? Hadn't thought of that.

[Dunamisdeos]

I have a suggestion: Take away their breeding ability. It seems strange to me to have a ghoul make babies.

Also, you misspelled corpse.
