Editing questions
« on: April 07, 2011, 12:12:51 am »

I'm making a "zombie" creature, and it has multiple castes. It has a shambler and a few others, so how do I change the speed? Also, is there a way to increase strength but not size?

Also, how do I change the blood to poison? (Forgotten Beast style)

For questions about what tokens exist, you really should be looking at the wiki rather than asking questions - it's much faster and more informative about the basic stuff.

http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Creature_token

Also, there is a "Zombie Mod" already in existence in "Corrosion"

http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=81068.0

So you may want to just use that, or crib from that. 

In reference to your specific questions, there is the [SPEED:<number>] and [PHYS_ATT_RANGE:STRENGTH:<number>:<number>:<number>:<number>:<number>:<number>:<number>] where each of those numbers represents part of the range to create a psuedo-bell-curve.

See the dwarf raws for that in practice.

I'm trying to make shamblers, runners, boomers, and tanks VS dorfs. Not zombies VS. shotguns, so that's my purpose  :D

Anyways, thanks!

I wanna make a boomer-type zombie >:D

I got the boom part in, now I need the gore to do something.
