equiping megabeasts?
« on: March 24, 2010, 02:49:10 pm »

hello i am wondering if it is possible to equip megabeasts with weapons and armor, i know the bronze colossus have the [EQUIPS] tag but I've never actually fought one as they all die in world gen, so i am wondering if there is a way to just have a megabeast simply start with a weapon and armor, or if i use the [EQUIPS] tag on a megabeast that is the same size as a human will they be able and will they use a humans weapons and armor?

Currently impossible for random wandering megabeasts, as far as I know. Current workarounds are in fortress mode you could make a megabeast civilisation and assign them equipment as needed, or building psuedo-weapons into their body files and giving them appropriate natural attacks with them.

[EQUIPS] simply means that the creature is -capable- of wearing and wielding items, as twichyboy said it's not currently possible to give a megabeast default equipment.
