But the attack passes right through! - Help!
« on: May 13, 2012, 09:13:51 pm »
Modding in some custom creatures, and as I test them in combat, all the attacks directed at them list as "passes right through!" or "glances away!"
Another problem I have with them, is that while trying to view their description the game crashes. Using the Mac version here.
I assume it's a problem in the creature raw, any help?

Creature raw file: yeah, they're ponies, bite me.

NOTE: changed the HEAD_HORN body part with a [GRASP] token.
NOTE: It uses a custom organ, "GOOD_MAGIC" but as far as I can tell it has no effect.
GOOD_MAGIC raw in the body_default.txt file:

I'm having them fight each other ^q^

But seriously, they're stabbing each other in the eye, for example, and the attacks are "passing right through."

I thought this was only possible with creatures that had non solid body types?

I'm not a fan of ponies, but I will help.

Your issue is "Order of Events" you need to move these lines:

[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE:BONE:CARTILAGE]
   [BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:BODY_HAIR_TISSUE_LAYERS:HAIR]


under/after any [BODY:] calls

so below you castes at a SELECT_CASTE:ALL drop those in. and the body should get tissues

What is happening is your trying to put tissues on body parts that don't exsist yet. then you define the body but the tissues are not on it.
