about multible tokens
« on: March 04, 2015, 04:01:44 pm »
I am attempting to make a mod with ninjas and monks in it and I have a few questions. First what happens if you have two translation tokens?
Second can you make a ranged weapon use two types of ammo, and if so how?

(1) Probably the second one overwrites the first one

Thanks, for the quick response. It's unfortunate that you can't have a civ that speaks tons of languages :-[

If there's a creature level language token, you could have different castes speak different languages

If you are talking about SPEECH, that is about boasting when having killed a creature, not about language. For example, some bandit shouting "It was I who slain Urist McTrader, who was too short to live".

It's also a creature-level tag, not a caste-level tag. Though there is a CASTE_SPEECH which can be used for specific castes, as well as SPEECH_FEMALE and SPEECH_MALE.

That's not a bad idea about castes speaking different language, I may use that later. But for right now it won't work for what I wanted. What I was trying to do is have each individual speak multiple languages, thus the caste won't work, unless you can have multiple tas that don't overwrite each other.

...but you can make two types of ammo have one ammo class, which is about the same thing.

Right, good point.  So these can both be fired by any weapon set to fire ammo class ARROW, including the default bow.

Code: [Select]
[ITEM_AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_ARROWS_ONE]
[NAME:broadhead arrow:broadhead arrows]
[CLASS:ARROW]
[SIZE:120]
[ATTACK:EDGE:10000:10000:strike:strikes:NO_SUB:1500]

[ITEM_AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_ARROWS_TWO]
[NAME:piercing arrow:piercing arrows]
[CLASS:ARROW]
[SIZE:120]
[ATTACK:EDGE:10:8000:strike:strikes:NO_SUB:1500]

But (afaik) you can't have a weapon able to fire multiple classes, like both BOLT and ARROW.  You can make your own ammo class, too, for whatever it's worth.
