still need help with this

[jecowa]

I wonder if it's hardcoded to keep creatures named "wagon" out of the arena and from spawning in the real world. The actual Wagon creature doesn't seem to need a [ARENA_RESTRICTED] or [DOES_NOT_EXIST] tag to keep it out of the arena.

[Sorgklaan]

I'm making a mongolian death worm megabeast, however, It is way too squishy and its heart gets instantly fucked in combat. How would you guys deal with this issue? I want it to be a real force.

It's a bit shitty and in need of work, but it's the best I got so far. ; _ ;

It has no protective layers. A common problem for some insects.

Give it some tough tissue layer, such as thick chitin, to help prevent attacks from penetrating as easily.

I was thinking about that, suppose I'll try it, just wanted more ideas first. If it still ends up being a bit squishy, I'll just buff up its offences and turn it into an acid spewing glass cannon. that could be fun.

This didn't work, since both humans (male and female) became a female flayer. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

[BlackFlyme]

Did you give males and females the MALE and FEMALE creature classes?

You could also try using SYN_AFFECTED_CREATURE or SYN_IMMUNE_CREATURE to specify the creatures allowed or not allowed to transform.

[Grelka]

-snip-

Removed original post, I am pretty sure I have fixed the issue myself and test are showing it is now working substantially better now.

As expected, a lone Grel is able to literally tear a gobbo into fine red confetti when unarmed.

[Z49000]

I just made two dwarves drink the ichor, one male, one female. Both dwarves became female flayers.

And I added CREATURE_CLASS:FEMALE and CREATURE_CLASS:MALE to both castes on the dwarf creature, so clearly I'm doing something wrong.

[Eric Blank]

Try removing the [SYN_AFFECTED_CLASS:GENERAL_POISON] lines. I have a feeling that what's happening is the game interprets that as permitting all general_poison AND all male/female creatures. Remove that and the only ones allowed for either syndrome will be the ones that have the sex-appropriate class.

[Z49000]

Success! Now I just need to add CREATURE_CLASS:FEMALE and CREATURE_CLASS:MALE to every playable race... including animal people.
Thanks for the help!

[Z49000]

Well, that was a short-lived victory.

I can't get a syndrome transmitted through an interaction- as I type this comment the Gorgon I'm using to test this has probably used the stare power for the two-hundredth time, and the effects aren't activating.

Something tells me that I've screwed up the timing like I did with the draconet, but I'm not sure.

EDIT: Speaking of draconet, all gas-based syndromes don't seem to be working.

Hi, I made a mongolian death worm and I'm just looking for some critique on what I could have done better. What do you think? Anything I could improve?

[Eric Blank]

Well, the prone_to_rage token should probably have some value after it, like [PRONE_TO_RAGE:10] or something. And you can shorten and simplify the entire thing by combining the acid and acid blood and having it spray the blood as well as bleed. Otherwise it looks to be golden.

[overseer05-15]

Is it possible to have body parts defined in castes? (i.e. wings, or the lack thereof)
