Wooden Bandit Weapons
« on: May 29, 2011, 07:24:53 pm »
I'm adding clubs, pitchforks, pointed sticks, etc into a mod and I just want to know if there is a way for only wooden weapons of a type to be made, and if so, can I make it so only bandits wield it?

I think give [TRAINING] to the weapons makes them made only out of wood but they wont be used at all as weapons by bandits or adventurers and bandits uae any weapon grade metal and any weapon even if the weapon isnt in the entity raws there might be a way for the wooden weapons but i dont thing so

Yes, I am aware of that. However, then nobody uses the weapon.

Thanks for telling me that they use any weapon, though. I suppose I could imagine a copper club as a piece of iron, I guess.

Is there any way to make wood weapons-grade?

Take a look at the elf entity file for tips.

I'm guessing you'd want to:
-Make sure there isn't a METAL_PREF token in their entity
-Make sure that the weapon is defined for use in the bandit entity
-Make sure that WOOD_WEAPONS is in the entity
-Make sure that have access to wood via OUTDOOR_WOOD or INDOOR_WOOD

STONE_PREF shouldn't matter, but if it doesn't work, remove it from their entity file.

The problem with this is that all their weapons will be made from wood. So clubs and sticks will be wood, but pitchforks would be wooden as well.

A different approach would be to create a "wood" metal entry (with ITEMS_WEAPON obviously) and give the applicable civ a fake reaction to create said material. That way some of the civ's weapons'll be made out of "wood", but not all.

Both are good ideas. Thanks, I'll try that!

By the way though, pitchforks used to be made entirely out of wood. Only now do they make them with metal tines.

Elves have all wooden weapons, I'd base a bandit civ off them + kobolds or goblins.
