I'm trying to make a weapon that'll train hammering while the dwarves mine away the rock, is this possible?
and if so, how?

[Keilden]

Well you could set a hammer as the mining tool in the entity file, but I don't know if that will make them use the hammer skill for mining.

I tried it but I was wondering, do I need to set it to [SKILL:MINING], or not?

[mission0]

Skill Mining will cause them to train mining. The best way to check to see if it works is to start a fortress and try to mine.

can I add two skills to one weapon?

I don't think so. Nothing to stop you from trying.

I could be wrong, but isn't there a [DIGGER] tag on picks? If so you could add that to your hammer.

[Kagus]

Mining is done using a [DIGGER] tool.  Mining trains the "mining" skill.  Miners are highly proficient warriors with the pick, because the pick uses the "mining" skill as its class (and they tend to be busy mining, which trains that skill).

So although you can get a dwarf to mine using a pick, a hammer or even a blowgun, it will still train mining.  Regardless of what skill that item uses.  You can, however, change hammers to use the mining skill, but this means that your military will not pick them up when set to "use hammers".

Mining crossbow and mining bolts.

There is no [DIGGER] tag on the pick as of 40d. I would personally just try it, then see.

[jaked122]

well... it seems like mining will still only train mining, although a weapon that uses two skills trains both when using it to fight with

[Eagle0600]

I wonder if you could test how effectiveness is effected by two skills...

my chainsaw weapon had a damage of 11000 gore, and it trained AXE and HAMMER, so I think I went past the bound where the integer to hold the damage was overloaded damn short type

[i2amroy]

Wait, so if you have two [SKILL:xxx] tokens on a weapon it actually trains both? I thought that the second value would just overwrite the first.
