Syndrome question
« on: May 24, 2012, 12:34:10 am »

I want to make a syndrome that affects the entire body. I want it to be a breath attack and activate on contact.

I have the breath attack part working. It breathes the proper stuff. I think the problem is in the BP:TARGET thing. how can I make something affect the entire body on contact?

PS: I actually want it to affect non-vital areas. So no lungs or brain, i guess.

Putnam answered your first question

but to target non vital areas you will need alot of BP:BODY_XXXX:argument:<TISSUE>

BODY_XXXX can be: BY_CATEGORY, BY_TYPE, BY_TOKEN
argument would be the respected body part (category, type, or token)
<TISSUE> can be a certain tissue or ALL (VASCULAR_ONLY will make the syndrome only targert tisues that can bleed, this only needs to be placed once in the syndrome CE line)

so

[CE_BLEEDING:SEV:100:PROB:100:VASCULAR_ONLY:BP:BY_CATEGORY:EYE:ALL:BP:BY_TYPE:GRASP:ALL:START:0:END:100] should make every tissue in the bodyparts that are categorized as EYE and all grasping bodyparts bleed from the tissues that can bleed
