Question about Poisons
« on: July 21, 2012, 09:07:31 pm »

You know how [SPECIALATTACK_INJECT_EXTRACT:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:VENOM:LIQUID:100:100] is used to attach venom to attacks? What are those last two numbers and what would happen if I changed them?

MIN:MAX

Not sure if it means "Amount of venom injected" or "Chance of Injection"

As Sanure has done tests on SUCK_BLOOD and raising the MIN:MAX increased the amount of blood drained. He once caused a human to bleed to death in one bite. Due to insanely High numbers

I would go with, how much is injected. Which means higher number makes the poison more potent. So a SEV 100 syndrome might be a SEV 1000 if those MIN:MAX numbers exseed "100"

It only matters if you ''milk'' the poison out of creature like fire snake

When does milking come into play with an ATTACK??

Milking/Discecting I'm sure are two/three very different things, in which their values and amounts are determined differently?

Spoiler: Milking (click to show/hide)
^^^Not sure where amount is determined here just times between milkings, perhaps creature size plays a role here?

^^^Once again nothing here to determin how much is extracted (through animal disection) and the vermin bite, as the wiki says is a probaility chance.
^^^^^So once again, amount extracted determined by size of creature?

Unless you mean "milk" by having the creature constantly inject the stuff in you (in the case of Fire Snakes, spit it on you)

I've played with it a lot and it's MIN:MAX with it being a random number in between. How much poison the number actually represents depends on the injecting creatures size, how much it impacts depends on the existence of SIZE_DILUTES and the injected creature's size. A weak numbing poison can cause sensory nerve damage with size_dilutes and the right injection amount.

Hm, have you considered murder?  It's either that or letting it go.
