Entities/creatures from workshops?
« on: August 29, 2010, 11:49:27 am »

Is there any way to create a creature from a reaction? I was hoping I would be able to make some kind of golem workshop, but I have no idea how I would go about this, or if it's even possible.

Any help on the subject is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Reactions cannot currently create creatures. They can create (bugged?) vermin only.

Ah, that's a pity.
You say currently, does that mean there has been a hint that it will be implemented in the future?

Toady is aware that there is some interest in this, but it wasn't a priority before the 0.31 releases. I don't think he's said anything about it since, so I guess it won't become a priority for a bit. It might be part of a dev page item, but I doubt it.

I've only been modding creatures for a while, but it seems like this question is asked constantly.

Ah, well, it seems relatively hopeful in that case. Guess I'll just make everything except that and keep it in a different file ready for when it does come out.

Thanks for the help.
