I there any way to make a creature pick up items?
« on: September 21, 2008, 05:45:52 pm »

Hi.
So, I just modded dragons to be playable in Adventure mode and been having great fun. But the onl thing I can currently do is kill, kill and kill some more (gets boring after a while). And I can't pick up any leftovers either. So, is it possible to make it so I can pick up body parts and whatsnot? And is it possible to make it so I can EAT them? That would be so cool.
Thanks in advance.

I'm not completely sure, but you'd have to make a custom body for your dragon. However, it's not too hard.
Code: [Select]
[BODY:DRACONIC]
[BP:UB:upper body][UPPERBODY]
[BP:LB:lower body][CON:UB][LOWERBODY]
[BP:HD:head][CON:UB][HEAD]
[BP:RA:right front leg][CON:UB][LIMB][RIGHT]
[BP:LA:left front leg][CON:UB][LIMB][LEFT]
[BP:RH:right front foot][CON:RA][STANCE][RIGHT][GRASP]
[BP:LH:left front foot][CON:LA][STANCE][LEFT][GRASP]
[BP:RL:right rear leg][CON:LB][LIMB][RIGHT]
[BP:LL:left rear leg][CON:LB][LIMB][LEFT]
[BP:RF:right rear foot][CON:RL][STANCE][RIGHT]
[BP:LF:left rear foot][CON:LL][STANCE][LEFT]
Add this to the "body_default.txt" in raw/objects. The [GRASP]-addition to the front foot should allow the dragon to grab stuff. And replace [QUADRUPED] at the dragon in creature_standard.txt with [DRACONIC].
I'm pretty sure it's not possible to eat the flesh of your enemies. You'd have to butcher them first. ;D

"Cleaning" your kills in adventure mode isn't implemented, yet (and you can't eat them raw, either). However, that sort of thing is in the devlist, so it'll be implemented eventually.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.
