I stumble over a little problem. I'm testing a self-targetted suicide interaction atm, so that magma is deadly even without temperature on. Would help the accelerated mod to run without temperature, making it even faster, yet keeping deadly magma.

There is an interaction token http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/v0.34:Interaction_token saying IN_MAGMA, so the creature should only use it when it's in magma... but I can't get it to work.

Does anyone know what's wrong?

Do interactions with IN_WATER work (never had any reason to use it)? If not, it could be a bug.

If I remember correctly there was an issue with units using an interaction when swimming/in magma. Is the problem that the unit is using it all the time, or not at all? If you manually take control of the creature in arena mode can you force the interaction? Can you create just 1/7 magma and try using it there? I haven't tested the IE_LOCATION tag since 0.34 so it is entirely possible that it is a bug.

They use them, I tested it with IN_WATER, but only about once in 2 ingame weeks. Most units just stand around in 1-3 deep water, dont do anything. Some run the self-targetted interaction, but more than half never used it. :/

So it does work, but the AI doesnt like to run it... for whatever reason.

Maybe it needs a certain depth? What happens if you add NO_MAGMA or NO_WATER? Do they ignite instantaneously?

Hmm, very interesting. Sounds like someone needs to do some science about what causes the trigger.

I thought we already knew about this? It effects interactions which use the [x:GREETING] too, pretty sure I read that creatures no longer use interactions at every opportunity. They do a dice roll or something to determine if they use an interaction or not. I recall someone having a problem with a mod that added diseases, because carriers no longer passed their diseases on to others, as they rarely infect others with an interaction.
