Attack interactions in dwarf mode
« on: August 09, 2017, 11:05:02 am »

When giving dwarves interactions with [USAGE_HINT:ATTACK]. I've found that they rarely ever use them in dwarf mode, especially as soldiers. Is there a way to increase the amount they use these attacks? The wait period is too low for that to be the culprit here.

If your animals aren't expendable, you could always station a dwarf or two out there?

only raw changes is adding
Code: [Select]
[CAN_DO_INTERACTION:MATERIAL_EMISSION]
[CDI:ADV_NAME:Hurl fireball]
[CDI:USAGE_HINT:ATTACK]
[CDI:BP_REQUIRED:BY_CATEGORY:HAND]
[CDI:FLOW:FIREBALL]
[CDI:TARGET:C:LINE_OF_SIGHT]
[CDI:TARGET_RANGE:C:25]
[CDI:MAX_TARGET_NUMBER:C:1]
[CDI:WAIT_PERIOD:100]
to the dwarf caste definitions

The only times I've seen them use it is when they're attacked and not military dwarves, so I suspect military orders stop creatures using interactions. could be wrong though
