hi, i dont know how to add natural abilities to creatures could someone tell me how please?



thankyou in advance

[Gizogin]

What is it you want the creature to be able to do?  If you want it to shoot fireballs (always a good option), here are a couple options you can try:

Code: [Select]

[CAN_DO_INTERACTION:MATERIAL_EMISSION]
[CDI:ADV_NAME:Fireball]
[CDI:USAGE_HINT:ATTACK]
[CDI:BP_REQUIRED:BY_CATEGORY:HAND]
[CDI:FLOW:FIREBALL]
[CDI:TARGET:C:LINE_OF_SIGHT]
[CDI:TARGET_RANGE:C:15]
[CDI:VERB:summon a ball of flames:summons a ball of flames:NA]
[CDI:MAX_TARGET_NUMBER:C:1]
[CDI:WAIT_PERIOD:150]

[CAN_DO_INTERACTION:MATERIAL_EMISSION]
[CDI:ADV_NAME:Fire Barrage]
[CDI:USAGE_HINT:ATTACK]
[CDI:BP_REQUIRED:BY_CATEGORY:HAND]
[CDI:FLOW:FIREBALL]
[CDI:TARGET:C:LINE_OF_SIGHT]
[CDI:TARGET_RANGE:C:15]
[CDI:VERB:summon a ball of flames:summons a ball of flames:NA]
[CDI:MAX_TARGET_NUMBER:C:15]
[CDI:WAIT_PERIOD:300]


Just paste them somewhere near the top of the raw for the creature you want to be able to shoot fireballs.

[Drago55577]

well, shooting frostballs, but i dont know whats possible but what i would really love to do is shoot plasma or crystal shards tipped with something hot (like plasma or magma)


edit* where do i put that anyway?

[Gizogin]

Well, to do that, you'd need to define a new material (in this case, I used one called CRYO), then do something like these:

Code: [Select]

[CAN_DO_INTERACTION:MATERIAL_EMISSION]
[CDI:ADV_NAME:Ice Spike]
[CDI:USAGE_HINT:ATTACK]
[CDI:BP_REQUIRED:BY_CATEGORY:HAND]
[CDI:MATERIAL:INORGANIC:CRYO:LIQUID_GLOB]
[CDI:VERB:launch a spear of ice:launches a spear of ice:NA]
[CDI:TARGET:C:LINE_OF_SIGHT]
[CDI:TARGET_RANGE:C:15]
[CDI:MAX_TARGET_NUMBER:C:1]
[CDI:WAIT_PERIOD:30]
[CAN_DO_INTERACTION:MATERIAL_EMISSION]
[CDI:ADV_NAME:Ice Barrage]
[CDI:USAGE_HINT:ATTACK]
[CDI:BP_REQUIRED:BY_CATEGORY:HAND]
[CDI:MATERIAL:INORGANIC:CRYO:LIQUID_GLOB]
[CDI:VERB:launch a spear of ice:launches a spear of ice:NA]
[CDI:TARGET:C:LINE_OF_SIGHT]
[CDI:TARGET_RANGE:C:15]
[CDI:MAX_TARGET_NUMBER:C:15]
[CDI:WAIT_PERIOD:300]

Just change CRYO to the name of your custom material, then mess with the interaction name and verbage as you see fit.  Also, if you're just looking for premade abilities and stuff, there's a "spellbook" thread floating around you can check out.

thanks

In terms of skills, is it possible to make such "magic", reliant on a skill? An example would be, the higher your skill, the less cooldown period there is.
Just wondering if this is possible.

Just to ask, is it possible to make the spells shoot materials? Or things with temperatures cause I want to make people Explode. (fuelrod spell!)

You can make an attack use the skill and make it use the interaction too like
(SPECIALATTACK_INTERACTION:WEREBEAST_BITE) will use the bite skill if used in a bite attack, but you can also have a firebending, airbending, bloodbending... etc. martial arts attacks.  (Currently trying to select <a living creatures> blood in an interaction to animate it)

No!

If thats a public mod your working on, would be interesting to see what you could do in terms of bending in DF...
I think freezing the blood in their bodies would be pretty fun
So, what about custom skills? Would that be possible, as after reading a community game on powers ( Ill have to find the link to show what I'm trying to do, its a pretty good read as well) I have been thinking of how to do it, but being new to DF modding... don't know where to start :S

You could have the material for ice spears have a melting point somewhere at room temperature, so they could melt once they hit their victims (i think) and then have them carry a contact syndrome. (i think. not sure if the blobs would melt instantly)

http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=89626.0 I found the forum game I was talking about. Basically the Alchemy power that is explained in that thread is what I would like to implement in game (more for adventure mode), however I would like to tie it to a custom skill or something to enable for more powerful alchemy down the track.

  I have a problem with this simple reaction:

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:FREE_STEEL_ADV]
  [ADVENTURE_MODE_ENABLED]
  [NAME:gimme steel]
  [PRODUCT:100:1:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:STEEL][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]
  [SKILL:SMELT]

Instead of producing a Steel bar, it creates something called 'Steel Bars', like there is more then one, but it's a single item. This Bars work in other reaction where a Bar is needed to create an item, but Instead of one 'Tool' I get more then 100 of them ;/
