Would it be possible to make an interaction that, say, threw a rock at an enemy, but also added a syndrome to the user?

[BlackFlyme]

Of course. You just have to define another target within the interaction, and make that extra target be the recipient of the effect.

The closest vanilla example I can think of is MATERIAL_EMISSION_WITH_HIDE_EFFECT. You could just copy that and alter part D from a hide effect to a debuff syndrome. An in-game example of a creature that uses this interaction would be a squid, though it uses both the material emission and the hide effect on itself.

[Chevaleresse]

Most material emissions can catch the emitter in them if they're not immune.

There are major problems here, I can't post the raws right now, but I have the interaction set to lob a fireball and have the caster shout a word, then it debuffs the caster. The way it's not working is that the caster only says "". That's it. Just quotations. Then, it debuffs all units inside the range of the targeter. Except of course for the caster. He somehow goes from SPEED:1.000 to SPEED:1.111. The worst part? It doesn't even shoot the fireball, it doesn't even let you choose a target. Of course it's a useful weapon, but it's not what I was going for by a long shot. I know you guys can't help me much without the raws though. Expect those by noon tomorrow. Or noon by tomorrow in Central Daylight Time at least.

Ok, so here is the defective interaction:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

[INTERACTION:MAGIC_USE]
[I_SOURCE:CREATURE_ACTION]
[I_TARGET:A:CREATURE]
[IT_MATERIAL:FLOW]
[IT_MANUAL_INPUT:Who do you want to burn?]
[I_TARGET:C:CREATURE]
[IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_CREATURE]
[I_EFFECT:MATERIAL_EMISSION]
[IE_TARGET:A]
[IE_IMMEDIATE]
[I_EFFECT:ADD_SYNDROME]
[SYNDROME]
[SYN_NAME:magic exhaustion]
[SYN_CLASS:MAGIC_USES]
[SYN_AFFECTED_CLASS:GENERAL_POISON]
[CE_SPEED_CHANGE:SPEED_ADD:-100:START:0:END:100]
[CE_PHYS_ATT_CHANGE:STRENGTH:0:-250:START:0:END:100]
[IE_TARGET:C]
[IE_IMMEDIATE]

And the one you use, just in case:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

[CE_CAN_DO_INTERACTION:START:0]
[CDI:INTERACTION:MAGIC_USE]
[CDI:ADV_NAME:Brisingr]
[CDI:USAGE_HINT:ATTACK]
[CDI:VERBAL]
[CDI:FLOW:FIREBALL]
[CDI:VERBAL_SPEECH:brisingr.txt]
[CDI:TARGET:A:LINE_OF_SIGHT]
[CDI:TARGET_RANGE:A:15]
[CDI:MAX_TARGET_NUMBER:A:1]
[CDI:TARGET:C:SELF_ONLY]
[CDI:TARGET_RANGE:C:0]
[CDI:MAX_TARGET_NUMBER:C:1]
[CDI:WAIT_PERIOD:20]

That's not how material emissions work. Look at the interactions in interaction_standard.txt

Code: [Select]

[INTERACTION:MATERIAL_EMISSION]
[I_SOURCE:CREATURE_ACTION]
[I_TARGET:A:MATERIAL]
[IT_MATERIAL:CONTEXT_MATERIAL]
[I_TARGET:B:LOCATION]
[IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_LOCATION] <-- this is always the emitter for now
[I_TARGET:C:LOCATION]
[IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_CREATURE_OR_LOCATION] <-- lets projectiles be aimed at specific creatures
[IT_MANUAL_INPUT:target]
[I_EFFECT:MATERIAL_EMISSION]
[IE_TARGET:A]
[IE_TARGET:B]
[IE_TARGET:C]
[IE_IMMEDIATE]

[deepspaceprobe9]

I will try to fix this up accordingly.

[deepspaceprobe9]

It is now working as planned, I just need to nerf the stat loss
