Recently i was making some were creatures (werewolves,werebears,werelizards).I added their traits,maked then have a bite that transforms the victim into one of them but run into a problem.I know that the [SPECIALATTACK_INTERACTION] tag is used to pass the curse to the attacked,but there is a way that i can add this token to the bite attack of the victim so that it can bite another one and transform them as well?
I did not find a answer so i decided to add a [CE_CAN_DO_INTERACTION] instead but it seems that once the creature with this interaction enters the map it turns everyone into a werebeast.Thus giving the "your strenght has been broken" message and ending the game.
Here's the interaction:

No, what you're doing won't work.

Also, everyone turning into a werebeast shouldn't give you the broken strength message AFAIK.

[Sergarr]

What should give you the broken message, then?

[Magnusen]

I think the message appeared because since the interaction add the [CRAZED] tag to the creature,and in this case everything on the map.I guess that the fortress need at least one sane dwarf to continue.

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

You need at least one sane, none hostile dwarf to survive fortress mode. CRAZED and OPPOSED_TO_LIFE add hostile intentions

and extreme tiredness causes instant insanity (berserk, melancholy, stark raving mad, etc.)

So just make sure your custom warebeast syndrome is not adding those things and you will have fort full of moon changing (or whenever you want the transformations to take place) people.

[Spiderking50]

So if the entire fort is composed of, for example, crazed werewolves, then on the full moon you will lose because every dwarf is crazed?


Also is there a way to create syndromes which cause berserk, melancholy, stark raving mad, etc. through interactions? I know crazed is basically the same as berserk, but what about the other ones?

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

Can't really choose which of the vanilla insane states happen but if a syndrome (or syndrome inducing interaction) gives a CE_DROWSINESS of a great number (I think someone said 15000 did it) a dwarf or creature will go insane (picking from the list that are are familiar with from moody dwarves (fey, and sad alike)

So it's quite possible to make a fruit or food or drink that causes insanity. and yes a fort of all werebeasts will end the fort if they all turn due to being a Hostile

So your first question: Yes

Second: Can cause insanity, just can't pick which one.

[Deon]

That's a nice find with the CE_DROWSINESS, is there an information on how high should it be for that? Also would eating such a fruit as an adventurer make you crazy?

[Quietust]

Dwarves go insane if they've been awake for 6 months; presumably, the DROWSINESS symptom just increases their drowsiness at an accelerated rate, and a sufficiently high value causes it to reach the insanity threshold in a matter of seconds.
