Apologies for the simple question; I wasn't able to find an answer with the forum search function.

Is it possible to create plants through reactions? [PRODUCT:100:5:PLANT:NONE:PLANT_MAT:MUSHROOM_HELMET_PLUMP:STRUCTURAL] only creates generic 'plants,' but did I simply use the wrong syntax or is it impossible to do?

I just tried a quick reaction in arena mode and it worked fine for me, using your PRODUCT, what's the issue?

Code: [Select]
[REACTION:MAKE TEST_PLANT]
[NAME:make plant]
[ADVENTURE_MODE_ENABLED]
[PRODUCT:100:5:PLANT:NONE:PLANT_MAT:MUSHROOM_HELMET_PLUMP:STRUCTURAL]

Could eat it too, and eating it made spawn (SEED)

I am currently trying to make a reaction that can take a boulder and make it into 6 blocks. Would anyone know how to get that to work?

Is there anyway to control the variance of civilization values for individuals? In other words, can I edit dwarves so they'll personally almost always "fall in line" with certain values rather than disagreeing with them?

I'm trying to make my dwarves a little more homogeneous so they'll become friends easier, but I can only find ways to edit their personality variance - which seems to only agree or totally conflict with their held values rather than influencing them.

I understand that it is disappointing when a dwarf makes a spiked loincloth instead of an axe.

[REACTION:BOULDER_TO_BLOCKS]
   [NAME:cut boulder into six blocks]
   [BUILDING:STONECUTTER:NONE]
   [REAGENT:A:1:BOULDER:NONE:NONE:NONE]   
        [PRODUCT:100:6:BLOCKS:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:NONE]
   [SKILL:STONECRAFT]

Is this gonna work?
(Note: STONECUTTER is a custom building I'm putting this thing in)

Added in the building as well to be sure I didn't screw that up either

try setting this on the entity files.
[VALUE:FRIENDSHIP:50]
[VALUE:HARMONY:50]

then set this on the creature files.
[PERSONALITY:FRIENDLINESS:100:100:100]

this maxes out the chance for friendliness.

So I'm making a modded race of fire casting humanoids. How do I prevent them from melting themselves? [FIREIMMUNE] seemed like it helped a little (with the firejet and fireball, attacks I'm guessing) but most of my arena tests still result in self-immolation. [HOMEOTHERM:12000] was an instant melt for my poor subjects. Do I have to give them modded tissues?

Also: the range values in the material emission interaction, do those correspond to tiles? Does this: [CDI:TARGET_RANGE:C:15] represent a range of 15 tiles?

One more question: my creature is only appearing as a blank tile in the arena, how u fix?

I've got them just using the basic human tags right now: [CREATURE_TILE:’U’][COLOR:3:0:0]
No matter what values I put, the creature shows up as a blank/black tile, almost a deep blue. Distinguishable from the other tiles.

the FIREIMMUNE tags are for the creature to believe it's fire proof (not be scared of hot tiles, fire, magma)
it's the MATERIALs the creature is made from that makes it fireproof or not. Look at how the IMP_FIRE creature sets it's materials to be fire-proof

Copied the stuff from the fire imp, works great. Thank you.

[CASTE_TILE] doesn't seem to work.

Here's what I've got:
Quote
[CREATURE:WITCH]
   [DESCRIPTION:A medium-sized creature with the ability to manipulate flame.]
   [NAME:witch:witches:witch]
   [CASTE_NAME:chaos witch:chaos witches:witch]
      [CASTE_TILE:’U’][COLOR:3:0:0]
   [OUTSIDER_CONTROLLABLE]
   [CREATURE_TILE:’U’][COLOR:3:0:0]
   [CREATURE_SOLDIER_TILE:154]
   [CREATURE_CLASS:MAMMAL]
   [INTELLIGENT]
   [CANOPENDOORS]
   [BENIGN]
   [FIREIMMUNE]
I'll move caste tile below creature tile... not sure if that's the problem.

Figured it out. I was using apostrophes instead of single quotes.

I think I had the same problem a few years ago. Wrote notes to my rock-boulder-into-edible-salt reaction:

so I used PLANT or LEAF or SEED instead of STRUCTURAL.

Here's an example reaction for you.
   [PRODUCT:2:1:BLOCKS:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:NONE] means 2% chance of 1 blocks-subtype-none

Is it possible to make a creature list it's [CASTE_NAME] instead of the [CREATURE][NAME] when 'v'iewed on the map  or 'u'nit screen?

Terribly sorry; it was just a stupid typo that was ruining the reaction. Sorry to bother you.
