I'm trying to make a creature that can cause multiple syndromes. Is there a way to do this, and if so, how? I don't care if each is bound to a single attack or if they are chosen randomly or what.

It's the same way as having it cause one syndrome, except... more.

You can do this several ways:
Create a bunch of interactions that cause one syndrome each, or make one mega interaction that will cause a ton of syndromes but with a PROB:50 on each one, making each use apply 0.5 - n^th amount of syndromes in a semi random fashion.

Now using a ton of interactions don't really make it random because they can all be used when ready so defeats the purpose of random.

Next step is to make a bunch of ENTERS_BLOOD SYN_INJECTED syndromes on a bunch of materials (can add it to the creature, or make a non existing creature to take it from or a plant, or inorganics, anything that holds a material really) and have a group of attacks that are all similar only they SPECIALATTACK_INJECT_EXTRACT different poisions

Code: [Select]

[ATTACK:POISON_1:...]
...
...
[SPECIALATTACK_INJECT_EXTRACT:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:POISION_1]

[ATTACK:POISON_2:...
Each attack will be chosen at random to be used by the AI inflicting a random poison each time.

If you're using multiple "inject poison" attacks, then you don't need interactions at all - that sort of thing could even be done back in 40d, before syndromes existed (though you could only get immediate/chronic stunning and paralysis).
