How to Make An Entity Make Bows?

(1/1)

LlamaLlord:
I made a new race, basically dwarves with some changes I made. I really want to make it so my new race will be able to make bows and arrows. Also it would be nice if they could start with bow skills.

Add the bow and arrow allowed item / allowed reaction tags under their wherever you put your race in entity_default.txt
Spoiler (click to show/hide)[WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_BOW]
[AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_ARROWS]
You'll also need a building where you can make them and a custom reaction for both of them. (and add those to entity_default.txt)
You won't need the building or reaction if they're an NPC-only race.

Nahere:
You don't need a custom building or reaction, adding bows as an allowed item will add them to the bowyer's workshop and the forge.

Huh. Didn't know that. Of course, I can't see the hardcoded stuff, so the more you know, I guess.

AceSV:
To give them inherent skills, it's the natural skill token.

will give them natural hunting ability.  Look up skill tokens on the wiki to find the right word for the bow using skill.
