I was asked to provide the raws for a magic missile reaction for Adventure mode, so I thought I'd post them here where they belong.  To use, download the zip here or add the following text files to your raw folder:

Code: (material_template_magic.txt) [Select]

[MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:MAGIC_TEMPLATE]
[STATE_NAME:ALL:magic]
[STATE_ADJ:ALL:magic]
[DISPLAY_COLOR:3:0:0]
[MATERIAL_VALUE:1]
[SPEC_HEAT:1] temperature related tokens taken from vanilla fire material template
[IGNITE_POINT:NONE]
[MELTING_POINT:NONE]
[BOILING_POINT:NONE]
[HEATDAM_POINT:NONE]
[COLDDAM_POINT:NONE]
[SOLID_DENSITY:150000] for that extra oomph
[LIQUID_DENSITY:200000] thicker when wet
[MOLAR_MASS:0] a massless yet dense particle
[IMPACT_YIELD:4000000] combat attributes lifted from slade
[IMPACT_FRACTURE:5000000]
[IMPACT_STRAIN_AT_YIELD:100]
[COMPRESSIVE_YIELD:4000000]
[COMPRESSIVE_FRACTURE:5000000]
[COMPRESSIVE_STRAIN_AT_YIELD:100]
[TENSILE_YIELD:4000000]
[TENSILE_FRACTURE:5000000]
[TENSILE_STRAIN_AT_YIELD:100]
[TORSION_YIELD:4000000]
[TORSION_FRACTURE:5000000]
[TORSION_STRAIN_AT_YIELD:100]
[SHEAR_YIELD:400000]
[SHEAR_FRACTURE:500000]
[SHEAR_ELASTICITY:100]
[BENDING_YIELD:4000000]
[BENDING_FRACTURE:5000000]
[BENDING_ELASTICITY:260000] except for this one
[BENDING_STRAIN_AT_YIELD:100]
[MAX_EDGE:100000]

Code: (inorganic_other_magic.txt) [Select]

[INORGANIC:MAGIC_MAT]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:MAGIC_TEMPLATE]
[STATE_NAME:ALL:magic missile]
[STATE_ADJ:ALL:magic missile]
[SPEC_HEAT:4]
[MAT_FIXED_TEMP:11060] takes one frame to lose cohesion
[BOILING_POINT:11050] throw it right after conjuring it or it disappears

Code: (reaction_adventure_magic.txt) [Select]

[REACTION:ADV_CONJURE_MAGIC]
[NAME:conjure magic missile] unfortunately there is no limit to the number of missiles one can conjure
[ADVENTURE_MODE_ENABLED]
[PRODUCT:100:1:GLOB:NONE:INORGANIC:MAGIC_MAT] globs seem to work best and provide the best special effects
[SKILL:CONCENTRATION]
Due to general weirdness and the limitations of the game engine, there are a few considerations.  The missile is meant to be thrown immediately after being conjured.  If you hesitate even a single turn, it will evaporate around you, covering you in "a burst of magic missile."  They cannot be stockpiled.

Furthermore, there's no "MP" in Dwarf Fortress.  You can conjure and throw the missiles all day, at least till you get tired from the motion of throwing.  Since they are quite dangerous in the hands of a skilled thrower, the skill is somewhat overpowered (but in this mod's defense, the infinite rocks you may pick up and carry are rather deadly themselves when thrown by such hands).

Spoiler: I also have raws for fireballs too, but they're buggy and unsung. (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

[INORGANIC:MAGIC_FIRE]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:MAGIC_TEMPLATE]
[STATE_NAME:ALL:fireball]
[STATE_ADJ:ALL:fireball]
[SPEC_HEAT:4]
[MAT_FIXED_TEMP:12060] THEY NEVER DISAPPEAR
[IGNITE_POINT:11040]and when you give them a boiling point proper, they don't burn anything

if you want to make a fire ball that goes away try this

Code: [Select]

[INORGANIC:FIREBALL]
   [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:STONE_TEMPLATE]
   [STATE_NAME_ADJ:ALL_SOLID:fireball][DISPLAY_COLOR:0:2:3][TILE:11]
   [ITEM_SYMBOL:11]
   [IGNITE_POINT:11000]
   [MELTING_POINT:1100]
   [MAT_FIXED_TEMP:12000]
   [SPEC_HEAT:10000]
   [BOILING_POINT:NONE]
   [SOLID_DENSITY:10000]
   [IS_STONE]   I hope this helps in your fireball attacks. still as it will lead a AoE burn it won't splatter and ignite on clothes.

oh wait I see your problem your fireball magic has no melting point so that it could evaporate.

[Dagoth Urist]

Being the ignorant noob that I am, I'm stumped. Where should I add the code? To the raws? In what file? Should I create a file? After implementing it, how do I actually create the missiles?

Thanks in advance :^D

The screenshot of the "spinning magic missile laced with human blood" got me wondering: Is blood a valid adventure-mode reaction component? Imagine if you will, a "blood magic" system, with spilt blood as MP: magic missiles of blood, poisonous clouds of boiling blood, wizard's robes woven entirely from veins and arteries pulsing with BLOOD!

[SethCreiyd]

@Dagoth, I put up a zipped version at DFFD here here.  To use the reactions after you install them, you press 'x' then pick the one you want.

I'll be coming back to this soon, hopefully with some improvements, after my term at Battlefailed runs up.

I don't know how to call blood as a reagent, but those are some damn cool ideas.

It's real easy to give creatures outside Adventure mode the ability to throw globs of blood, with the following line placed anywhere after the blood is defined:

[MATERIAL_BREATH_ATTACK:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:BLOOD:LIQUID_GLOB]

[Dagoth Urist]

Ah thanks, that will make things a lot easier!

For the record, I can confirm that the explosion of boiling substance will occur when a object with a very low vaporization point (and no fixed temperature, though this might be possible) is thrown. This means, practically, that you can also use this system to inflict syndromes on targets.

I am not yet sure what determines cloud size, perhaps density/object size when created but I am unsure.
