I was wondering how you change weapon matglosses. I've made a chainsaw weapon, but I don't know how to make it say "Saw" instead of "Lash" when you attack someone. (I just copied the whip and replaced some values.)

[thvaz]

Well, a chainsaw isn't a kind of whip. Or even a chain. You would have more sucess modeling it after a sword.

[Sithlordz]

That doesn't help.

I'm trying to find out how to make my weapon say "You saw the goblin in the left upper arm!"
instead of "You lash the goblin, etc.".  There has to be a way, as the game can do it with whips, swords and spears.

You can't mod that easily, it's hardcoded.

[Sithlordz]

K. Thanks.

[Fenrir]

You should make it use the axe skill. "You hack the peasant in the upper right arm." doesn't sound too far off.

[Kagus]

And then you can even use it to cut down trees.

[Sithlordz]

I did make it use the axe skill. Dunno why it's making whip messages. Maybe because of the gore damage?

[Sean Mirrsen]

The message is dependant on the damage type, yes. SLASH yields slash, BLUDGEON yields bash, GORE yields lash, PIERCE yields pierce, BURN or HEAT yield burn, COLD yields chill. You can only make a custom message for a natural creature attack, a fact vastly exploited in my martial arts mod. So if you mod in an ogre with a chainsaw for an arm, you can make it have any message you like.

It would be nice to have the same message tags for normal weapons, however...

=O

COOL!

[Kagus]

Hell, I made a Goblin Mecha with four arms.  One axe, one Spear, one Mace, and one Claw that could latch on and also could be used to pick stuff up.

That bugger was tough.

Be sure to give it a grenade launcher, too.

Did you call it Killer Kan?

[Kagus]

Killa Kan, and no, it didn't occur to me to do so.  I just called it "Goblin Mecha"
