I'm working on an undead creature that can animate corpses.  I've got most of it to work, except the animated undead will attack the creature.

What do I do to make the creature considered undead by other undead?  NOT_LIVING isn't the tag for that, and I don't know what is.

EDIT  I just learned that it may have been an arena problem.  I'll have to experiment with it.

[OPPOSED_TO_LIFE] ?

Here's the creature and it's interaction.  I can't quite get it to work.  Though as I mentioned the above problem seems to simply be an arena problem.

The creature is much weaker than I want it to be.  It rarely lasts 100 years into worldgen.  It dies too easily in a fight.  Any ideas on how to fix it?

And the interaction doesn't apply the correct VERB for the correct targets.  I don't know if it's possible to though.

Split your interaction into two, 1 for sickening creatures, and 1 for animating.

AS for why the minions attack it, must be a arena issue. make the creature a playabe civ (replace DWARF with SKELETAL_DRAGON in the MOUNTIAN ENTITY) and then have them kill and raise something

[Drawde]

I split the interaction and it's working.  Thanks.

Minor bug though.  I have the first interaction, the uneasy aura, set to [IT_FORBIDDEN:NOT_LIVING] and [IT_FORBIDDEN:OPPOSED_TO_LIFE], and it still targets the undead.  At least in the arena.  Not that it effects them, but I still get the message that it hits them.

Yeah, arena creatures remain loyal to their team number, add the interaction to humans/dwarves/*shiver*elves and start an adventurer to test it.
