Caste adjective tag for creatures?
« on: August 22, 2014, 09:27:08 pm »

like here for plants:

Quote from: plant_standard.txt/[PLANT_HELMET_PLUMP]
   [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:DRINK:PLANT_ALCOHOL_TEMPLATE]
      The material template is just called "alcohol" so we need to give it a proper name.
      [STATE_NAME_ADJ:ALL_SOLID:frozen dwarven wine]
      [STATE_NAME_ADJ:LIQUID:dwarven wine]
      [STATE_NAME_ADJ:GAS:boiling dwarven wine]

This would help people with this problem

As we could do a find and replace on the RAWS to preform a hotfix 8)

I don't quite get what you mean. We can already rename creatures on a caste-basis.

The tag you are pointing out is a materials tag, not a plant tag.

I had thought it was a replacement name for the material, but I understand you I think now. This is just added to the name of the ITEM?

i.e. BOULDER would be (frozen dwarven wine boulder) or similar in game

Being a material it seems less likely that there is a tag that is an analog to this tag that can be used in the creature raws like caste names.

I was hoping there would be an adjective string that we could put into/onto creatures names like that tag seemed to suggest to me it was doing with the drinks.

 :-[ I kinda just assumed that there would be because there was one for this.

like BlackFlyme alluded to, you can use CASTE_NAME to tell females from males

[CASTE:FEMALE]
      [FEMALE]
      [CASTE_NAME:arctic condor hen:arctic condor hens:condor]
      [LAYS_EGGS]
         [EGG_MATERIAL:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:EGGSHELL:SOLID]
         [EGG_MATERIAL:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:EGG_WHITE:LIQUID]
         [EGG_MATERIAL:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:EGG_YOLK:LIQUID]
         [EGG_SIZE:210]
         [CLUTCH_SIZE:1:3]
   [CASTE:MALE]
      [CASTE_NAME:arctic condor:arctic condors:condor]
      [MALE]

edit:  the third token (green in my example) is the adjective.  single, plural, adjective.  so an egg laid by an "arctic condor hen" will be a "condor" egg.
