I want a creature I'm working on to leave behind a "corpse" that turns into a deadly vapor.

How, in general (I'll figure out the specifics later) would I do this?

[Necro910]

You could mod an internal tissue (Blood, fat, etc. Not organs like liver) to boil at room temperature, but then it might boil alive. Another way would to make the creature turn into an object that boils, on death.

That's the one I want.  Looking at the bronze colossus raw I can see how it makes it into a statue.  Is the only way to do this to basically make a statue out of a material that boils instantly?  Or is there an easier way.

Also, if I have to make it a statue, can I define the material somehow in the creature raw itself?

You can make it be anything. You can turn it into very innappropriate things, if you know the code's name. 

Anyways, yes. You can turn it into any object. Look here for the format.

It doesn't need to be a statue - [ITEMCORPSE] can create (almost) any type of object out of any material you want, including a locally defined creature material.
For example:

Code: [Select]

[ITEMCORPSE:GLOB:NONE:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:POISON]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:POISON:CREATURE_EXTRACT_TEMPLATE]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:ALL_SOLID:frozen poison]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:LIQUID:liquid poison]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:GAS:poison gas]
[MELTING_POINT:9950]
[BOILING_POINT:10000]
[PREFIX:NONE]
[SYNDROME]
[SYN_NAME:corpse poison]
[SYN_AFFECTED_CLASS:GENERAL_POISON]
[SYN_INHALED]
[CE_NECROSIS:SEV:100:PROB:100:RESISTABLE:START:50:PEAK:500]

Thanks.  Got what I was looking for.

[Drawde]

Slight problem now.  Got the corpse to become a syndrom glob.  But, it's not boiling out like it should be.  I set the boiling point to 5000 and the material itself to 10000, but I still just get a glob on the ground.

In arena testing, if that matters.

I think temperature is off in arena. Not 100% sure.

[irdsm]

arena temp is abnormally hot, perhaps because of the magma pools

[Drawde]

D'oh!  I had temperature off.  I hate making such dumb mistakes
