Feel like doing something different.
« on: December 07, 2009, 01:13:01 pm »

I'm rather bored of being beaten to death by hordes of children or getting one shotted by bowmen so I decided to make !!!clowns!!! a playable race.
What confuses me is I can't throw fireballs at people like in fortress mode.
Any idea how to fix?

You can't control the firebreath. At all. I can't remember whether or not it randomly kicks in when you punch someone or something or not, but you can't use it manually. Yet.

Well that's a bit of a downer  :(.
Ah well I'm fairly sure I'll be able to ignite people just by standing next to them anyway.
If I was more competent with modding I suppose I could make the fireballs an ammo type but I'd still need a launcher that doesn't melt in my hands.

A custom metal with a high melting point.
Of course, you'd have to have some way to produce said weapon...
A common idea is to make a fortress for the sole purpose of producing items for your adventurer, then weighing them down in a bin that will keep its position when you go there as an adventurer (I suggest a lead bin) and grabbing them.

I wanted to mod in a class that would vomit on enemies to do acid damage, but I long ago found that it is not possible. I will have to test ideas about how to make fireballs work in adventure mode, though!
