CASTE level COPY_TAGS_FROM
« on: February 23, 2012, 08:56:40 pm »

For obvious reasons, I'd like to make all animalmen in a biome part of one creature but as multiple castes. It seems that COPY_TAGS_FROM doesn't work in the caste level.

Does anyone have tips on this?

Something like this completely fails:

[CREATURE:WILD_BOAR_MAN]
   [CASTE:MALE]
      [COPY_TAGS_FROM:WILD_BOAR]
      [GO_TO_END]
      [CASTE_NAME:wild boar man:wild boar men:wild boar man]
      [MALE]
   [CASTE:FEMALE]
      [COPY_TAGS_FROM:WILD_BOAR]
      [GO_TO_END]
      [CASTE_NAME:wild boar woman:wild boar women:wild boar woman]
      [FEMALE]
   [SELECT_CASTE:ALL]
   [APPLY_CREATURE_VARIATION:ANIMAL_PERSON]
   [APPLY_CURRENT_CREATURE_VARIATION]
   [GO_TO_END]
   [APPLY_CREATURE_VARIATION:PUNCH_ATTACK]
   [APPLY_CREATURE_VARIATION:HOOF_ATTACK]
   [APPLY_CREATURE_VARIATION:NAIL_SCRATCH_ATTACK]
   [APPLY_CREATURE_VARIATION:TOOTH_BITE_ATTACK]
   [APPLY_CURRENT_CREATURE_VARIATION]
   [GO_TO_START]
   [NAME:wild boar man:wild boar men:wild boar man]
   [DESCRIPTION:A person with the head of a wild boar.]
   [POPULATION_NUMBER:30:50]
   [CLUSTER_NUMBER:5:10]
   [MAXAGE:60:80]
   [CREATURE_TILE:'B']
   [COLOR:6:0:0]
   [GO_TO_TAG:BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:BODY_HAIR_TISSUE_LAYERS:HAIR]
   [APPLY_CREATURE_VARIATION:NAIL_MATERIALS]
   [APPLY_CURRENT_CREATURE_VARIATION]
   [GO_TO_TAG:USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:NAIL:NAIL_TEMPLATE]
   [TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:FINGER:NAIL:FRONT]

i think because you're trying to do a caste level thing inside a caste.  everything not specifically in a specific caste section, works for all caste of a creature.  it's worded weirdly but thats the answer as gotten from the note the maker left.
