If -> Then
« on: November 24, 2012, 04:56:08 pm »
Can conditions be added to a syndrome?

For instance, I want to create a syndrome that swells a dwarf up like a pumpkin, then sets him bleeding and bruising from his everywhere. However, I want these thing to happen together or not at all.

Ergo, If dwarf begins swelling, then bleed and bruise. If not, do nothing.

There's no if-then tags. Raws aren't like programming languages.
The best you can do is to cause the creature effects to START at different times.

Can't you put multiple effects in one tag?

This can be accomplished through a self-targeting interaction transmitted by syndrome.

[CE_CAN_DO_INTERACTION:PROB:10:START:0:END:300]
         [CDI:INTERACTION:YOUR_INTERACTION]
         [CDI:ADV_NAME:infection]
         [CDI:TARGET:A:SELF_ONLY]
         [CDI:WAIT_PERIOD:1200]
         [CDI:FREE_ACTION]

The PROB will be the chance of that symptom taking place, and once it does, the creature will target itself with this interaction:

[INTERACTION:YOUR_INTERACTION]
   [I_SOURCE:CREATURE_ACTION]
   [I_TARGET:A:CREATURE]
      [IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_CREATURE]
      [IT_CANNOT_TARGET_IF_ALREADY_AFFECTED]
      [IT_MANUAL_INPUT:self]
   [I_EFFECT:ADD_SYNDROME]
      [IE_TARGET:A]
      [IE_IMMEDIATE]
      [SYNDROME]
         [SYN_NAME:infection]
         [CE_your symptoms here]

Just bear in mind that interaction transmitted symptoms are weaker than material transmitted symptoms...so you'll need high SEV numbers (Like around 1000) for a significant effect.

but if used on an adventurer, it won't be automatic. Just saying.
