My modded race won't do anything
« on: July 26, 2018, 06:59:44 am »
Hi, I'm making a race of sentient penguins called tukis. I have everything set up, but when I try to play with them in Fortress mode I encounter two problems:

1. They have [NATURAL_SKILL:FISH], so the first thing they try to do is fishing in the river, but I get spammed with "Unit cancels fishing: too injured" and I have no idea of the cause.

2. They won't do any job I command them to do, even if they have the skill. Dwarf Therapist doesn't help either.

These are the creature and entity raws, I've searched for everything. What can it be?

They'll need a bodypart with GRASP to work, I think.

Yeah, I think that's it. Otherwise you're duplicating the classic "Wait...I have no hands!" cat bug http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/40d:Cat_cancels_Store_Item_in_Stockpile:_Too_injured

Aaaah, now I understand! Flippers don't grasp, even if I put fingers. Thank you!

You could use a copy of flippers with the GRASP token, if you still want the original idea.
Code: [Select]
[BODY:TUKI_FLIPPERS]
[BP:R_FLIP:right flipper:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][RIGHT][GRASP][CATEGORY:FLIPPER]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:200]
[BP:L_FLIP:left flipper:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LEFT][GRASP][CATEGORY:FLIPPER]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:200]

Instead of making a custom body part you can just use (inside the creature) this snippet

Code: [Select]
[SET_BP_GROUP:BY_CATEGORY:FLIPPER][BP_ADD_TYPE:GRASP]
This will make just that creature's flippers able to grasp things, and not require a custom BP
