A few questions
« on: October 07, 2010, 10:07:39 pm »

So, I've been working on a siege engine creature based off the wagon raws, and it has some problems i need help with.

1: This creature has a breath attack set on TRAILING_VAPOR_FLOW that shoots a 'tar' material that ignites and causes a sydrome. however, the 'tar' gets all over the siege engine as well as the unfortunate target... how do I stop this?

2: The engine is also completely unkillable. you can hack all its wheels and its back off, but it will keep going, no matter how many times you smash or burn or drown of magma the front. it has the [SEVERONBREAKS] tag, so that's not it.

Help?

You can't, really.

Wagons are essentially indestructible. There are a couple of ways of destroying them but no conventional means.

You could try to mod in a brain type body part for them. Not sure what you would call it but having that destroyed or severed should "kill".

I just realized two things. 1. For the Win and F___ the World have the same initials. 2. They have the same meaning in Dwarf Fortress.
