Hello,

I'm trying to make a custom race have the ability to bite and inject venom.  I am able to get the venom injected and the syndrome applied in the object testing arena; it says in the combat log that the venom has been injected into the blood.  However it doesn't seem to have any effect, even when I alter the effect to severe necrosis to test.  Here is the bite attack:

      [ATTACK_FLAG_CANLATCH]
      [SPECIALATTACK_INJECT_EXTRACT:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:POISON:LIQUID:100:100]

And here is the venom:

         [CE_NECROSIS:SEV:2000:PROB:100:RESISTABLE:START:1:PEAK:1000:END:2000]

Any ideas why?  Thanks!

Any ideas why?  Thanks!

1. Use something like [CE_FLASH_TILE:TILE:165:3:0:0:FREQUENCY:2000:1000:START:0] to test. This gives you immediate visual confirmation that the syndrome has taken effect.

2. Everyone might be immune to it or resisting it?

Yeah, take off resistable and give that flash. That'll test where the problem is.

Thanks, but still it didn't work, even after removing resistable.  It is definitely able to "activate" the syndrome.  The syndrome appears in the creature description in arena mode after injecting the venom.  However it has no effect.  When I added this to the syndrome: BP:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:ALL:, it worked, but I don't want it to affect everywhere and use that method.  Any thoughts as to why?

edit - Got it to work by adding :LOCALIZED:VASCULAR_ONLY to the end.  Seems like it wasn't having a defined body part to affect, or something.
