left/right tokens in body_default
« on: March 26, 2008, 04:42:00 pm »

Anyone played with these? Can they only be used as a pair? It'd be interesting to have both a L_HEART and R_HEART entry, instead of generic heart, and you could set it in different places in the body.

You cant specify the side which a heart is on, since it's generally hard-coded into the upper body. You can have multiple hearts, though.

The heart is hard coded?  I don't think so.

Otherwise my creatures with a heart I defined would have 4 hearts (of course, 3 are called reactor cores).

Hmm, you sure? I just made a 2HEARTS entry for a creature, set one in the left and one in the right (otherwise just a copy of HEART, using same structure as 2LUNGS) and didn't get any errorlog complaints.

LEFT and RIGHT seem to affect the affinity of certain parts being damaged when attacked from a side, and certain parts being damaged in bulk - for example, I gave creatures 8 ribs, 4 left and 4 right. I often see 2 or 3 ribs on one side and the lung on that side damaged in one hit.
