Weapon used as shield
« on: August 01, 2012, 02:58:54 pm »
Can't try it yet, but the question is: Can you give a greataxe the capability to be used like a shield by adding
[ARMORLEVEL:2]
[BLOCKCHANCE:20]
[UPSTEP:2]
or something similar to it?
What about BLOCKPOWER or other tags?
Thanks for your time.

Of course not - weapon raws accept a very specific set of tags, and none of the tags you mentioned are in that list.

Dwarf Fortress's raws aren't a "generic language" - you can only use certain tags in certain places, and anything else will be treated as an error.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Could I create a gauntlet that doubles as a shield instead?

No, but you can name a shield after a weapon.

ID:SHIELD
Name: Sword

The guy is now wearing a battle axe in the right hand, and blocks with the "sword" he has in his left hand.

Dwarves can parry with weapons and strike with shields. Other than that...yeah, for now at least, each kind of raw-defined item (prepared food, weapon, hat, tool, shoe, etc) is a specific type of item, with no overlap possible.
