dropping limbs inquiry
« on: May 27, 2012, 10:07:47 am »

is it possible to make a creature drop an arm or something?  like a cat having its tail fall off?  possibly by syndrome
i want the limb or tail to still be butcherable though. a meat man giving away meat, anyone? :P

Can you clarify how/when you would want this to occur? Do you envision the limb regrowing?

Severed limbs from domestic animals are not butcherable AFAIK since domestic animals must be slaughtered.

If you want a creature that periodically supplies meat without dying you could set it to be shearable and have the shearing product be edible, I suppose.

i'm hoping for the dropped limb to be butcherable so i can add the extra_butcher_object token so i can specify what drops

having difficulty with the dropping part though :-\

i would have the creature regrowing the limb through transformation
shearing could work but i'd rather have the creature drop the item randomly :P

the desired bp needs to be conected to a rotter

Body > Rotting connector > desireed dropped part

the rotter body part will be made from a single tissue that is made from a melting/boiling material "Water" or a custom one

When the rotter melts/boils away the deired part is severed

would'nt it be nice if toady added in a [REGROWS] or [REGENERATES] tag to body parts

then we could have strange cave creatures that simply regrow lost limbs.

Or a creature tag [GROWS_LOST_LIMBS] and have it syndrome addable too, so that we don't have to use a body transform to heal.
