Does any body know how make a acid spray attack for creatures?

[4maskwolf]

What, specifically, do you want this acid spray to do?

[danmanthedog]

Either to melt other creatures/dwarfs to nothing or just super fast instant rot the kills removes the area that was hit by said "acid".

Thank you everybody so I looked and I'm going to take the brown recluse spider venom, change it to a spraying liquid blog type of attack. To which I am hopping it will cause instant rot or at least "melting of the body."

Edit-Now I am having trouble trying to understand the breath attacks, I am trying to take said Acid poisen and turn it into a breathing attack but how do I turn it in to one.

Try looking at a few of the various creatures that use material emission attacks to get an idea of how it may look.

One example that I think may be close to what you want is the cave floater's juice-spraying attack. In the cave floater's raws, they have this:

Code: [Select]

[CAN_DO_INTERACTION:MATERIAL_EMISSION]
 [CDI:ADV_NAME:Spray juice]
 [CDI:USAGE_HINT:ATTACK]
 [CDI:BP_REQUIRED:BY_CATEGORY:BODY]
 [CDI:MATERIAL:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:POD_JUICE:TRAILING_GAS_FLOW]
 [CDI:VERB:spray a stream of steaming juice:sprays a stream of steaming juice:NA]
 [CDI:TARGET:C:LINE_OF_SIGHT]
 [CDI:TARGET_RANGE:C:5]
 [CDI:MAX_TARGET_NUMBER:C:1]
 [CDI:WAIT_PERIOD:30]
Just change LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:POD_JUICE to the material that you are using for your poison.

So It should look like this.

If you have the materials MAGGOT_ACID declared in your creature... then yes.

Two things I've noticed:

1. The interaction asks for ACID_MAGGOT_ACID, but the material's ID is ACID.

2. The acid's syndrome has a creature called ACID_MAGGOT marked as immune, but the creature's ID is CREATURE_1SFVOHNTL_RC

Okay have to fix that interaction but the creature is because I used the masterwork (Talvieno's) random creature creater thing and used it for a basic outline of some sort. So once I fixed everything and test it I am really hoping the acid causes dwarfs to turn in to rotten glob piles.

Edit-Sorry about that didn't mean anything serious, so I got to say thank you everybody for giving me tips and helping me create this dwarf melter.

[Putnam]

That's not Masterwork's random creature thing, it's Talvieno's. Try not to assume Masterwork includes anything original outside of raws or the GUI itself (and the raws have a lot of assimilated stuff, too).
