Has anyone figure out how to make a custom reaction that uses (and has tested to see if it works) skulls as a REAGENT, or made a reaction that has seeds as its product?

[masakhan]

Here is the product end of my reactions involving seeds:

[PRODUCT:3:PLANT:NO_SUBTYPE:PLANT_MAT:MUSHROOM_HELMET_PLUMP:SEED]

[PRODUCT:100:3:PLANT:NO_SUBTYPE:PLANT_MAT:MUSHROOM_HELMET_PLUMP:SEED]

[PRODUCT:100:3:SEED:NO_SUBTYPE:PLANT_MAT:MUSHROOM_HELMET_PLUMP:SEED]

[PRODUCT:100:3:SEED:NO_SUBTYPE:SEED_MAT:MUSHROOM_HELMET_PLUMP:SEED]

[PRODUCT:100:3:PLANT:SEED:PLANT_MAT:MUSHROOM_HELMET_PLUMP:SEED]

Any ideas?

Ok, lets see. As item type we need a seed. Using plant would get us a plant made out of seed material, which would be weird.
Looking in the ever so useful string dump I found item type SEEDS. Item subtype shouldnt be needed.

As material we need to designate a plant type from the raws, so that would make it PLANT_MAT:MUSHROOM_HELMET_PLUMP
Then as material subtype we need the seed material defined in the plants raws. Found the following:
   [SEED:plump helmet spawn:plump helmet spawn:4:0:1:LOCAL_PLANT_MAT:SEED]
Clear enough, lets use SEED as material subtype.

So, the result: [PRODUCT:100:3:SEEDS:NO_SUBTYPE:PLANT_MAT:MUSHROOM_HELMET_PLUMP:SEED]

Well seems you had that one except for the item type being SEED instead of SEEDS.


Skulls seem like a tricker one, I made some attempt at it when I tried to make golden skulls, but failed.
I cant find it as an item type or a material type in material templates. I did however find this here:

[BODY:SKULL]
   [BP:SKULL:skull:STP]
      [CONTYPE:HEAD]
      [INTERNAL][SMALL]
      [CATEGORY:SKULL]
      [DEFAULT_RELSIZE:200]
      This lets you make a totem out of the part.  The relationship between the skull and the brain is established within body detail plans or the creature itself.
      [TOTEMABLE]

From what I can tell from the body part raws, the skull is much like all the prepared organs you get when butchering a creature. Those are meat with a specific name, skulls are bone with a specific name.

What confuses me even more is that there is no item type for bones either, just one for totems.

I have found ANY_BONE_MATERIAL. This could at least let you select any item made of bone, but how you could keep it from using +turtle bone bolts+ or regular bone instead of skulls, I wouldnt know.

At least not without reworking some basic raws, for example by adding a special REACTION_CLASS tag to the material that the skull uses. But im no expert on that; I dont know how to do that without having to change every single creature in the raws.

For now it might be easier to just use totems, [REAGENT:A:1:TOTEM:NONE:NONE:NONE] should do the trick.

Ill go test using SEEDS instead of SEED right now, and I have been using the ANY_BONE_MATERIAL in a reaction (works fine.) Great idea to use totems instead of skulls;Ill try that out too.

[PRODUCT:100:3:SEEDS:NO_SUBTYPE:PLANT_MAT:MUSHROOM_HELMET_PLUMP:SEED]

Just tested it, and it works perfectly!

I'm going to throw this information into my guide.
