Stationary Creatures...
« on: April 12, 2007, 02:18:00 pm »

Do you think that stationary creatures would be nice in DF?  Would it be better if they hid themselves so that you wouldn't be able to see them until you ventured next to them?


Is there a way to make a creature stationary, that is not being able to move, but will attack anyone who comes near them?

I want creatures that isn't like a flesh ball, but like a carnavorious plant or something.

could this be done by setting their movement speed to something ridiculously high?

I think the problem would be that it'll always be right on the very edge of the map (where it spawns), and because it can't move, it'll never be able to leave the map again. Get enough of these and you won't have any other creatures on your map until you go and kill them, which could be a problem if they're hiding and you don't know they're there!

Except, in the new version, they don't spawn at "the edge of the map", because there IS no edge of the map.  It's seamless.
