Modding Attacks
« on: March 13, 2017, 12:51:12 pm »
So since my last question, I have successfully added the following body parts to this modded creature I'm making:

Code: [Select]
[BODY:TEN_NO_CLAW_TENTACLES_DERPYDEV]
[BP:TENT:first tentacle:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LIMB][GRASP][LEFT][CATEGORY:TENTACLE]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]
[BP:TENT:second tentacle:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LIMB][GRASP][LEFT][CATEGORY:TENTACLE]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]
[BP:TENT:third tentacle:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LIMB][GRASP][LEFT][CATEGORY:TENTACLE]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]
[BP:TENT:fourth tentacle:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LIMB][GRASP][LEFT][CATEGORY:TENTACLE]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]
[BP:TENT:fifth tentacle:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LIMB][GRASP][LEFT][CATEGORY:TENTACLE]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]
[BP:TENT:sixth tentacle:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LIMB][GRASP][RIGHT][CATEGORY:TENTACLE]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]
[BP:TENT:seventh tentacle:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LIMB][GRASP][RIGHT][CATEGORY:TENTACLE]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]
[BP:TENT:eighth tentacle:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LIMB][GRASP][RIGHT][CATEGORY:TENTACLE]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]
[BP:TENT:ninth tentacle:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LIMB][GRASP][RIGHT][CATEGORY:TENTACLE]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]
[BP:TENT:tenth tentacle:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LIMB][GRASP][RIGHT][CATEGORY:TENTACLE]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]
And it worked! The creature has all ten tentacles. Two problems though:
Problem one: All of the tentacles have the [GRASP] token, but it cannot pick up items or wrestle.
Problem two: I tried to give it the following attack that uses these tentacles:
Code: [Select]
[ATTACK:WHIP:BODYPART:BY_CATEGORY:TENTACLE]
[ATTACK_SKILL:WHIP]
[ATTACK_VERB:whip:whips]
[ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC:100]
[ATTACK_PENETRATION_PERC:1000]
[ATTACK_FLAG_WITH]
[ATTACK_FLAG_EDGE]
[ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:1:1]
[ATTACK_FLAG_INDEPENDENT_MULTIATTACK]
[ATTACK_PRIORITY:MAIN]And it flat out didn't work. I cannot select this attack and all it can do is push. Why can't it use it's tentacles?

I tested your bodypart and attack with a creature I made, and it worked fine.



I suspect the reason for your problem is that your bodyparts are misaligned or something. Want to talk in PM's so that you don't have to spoil anything to the forum?

Where can I learn to make attacks. I am currious where in the raws to do this, or if it is just a thing you can add to the creature.

Look for the ATTACK token.
