Exploding stone help
« on: April 04, 2010, 12:24:02 pm »
I'm trying to make a stone that immediatly explodes in a firey explosion for a creature that explodes on death. However, while it does get a good response (you are caught in a cloud of boiling magma!), it isn't acutally hot.

And you can't eat them, either, sadly. Even though it'd make sieges so much more fun; dwarves lining the walls, drooling and carrying sharp knives and forks, ready for the upcoming meals.

You need to use MAT_FIXED_TEMP now, not just FIXED_TEMP.

Thanks!

EDIT: It's not working. It still creates gas that doesn't heat up anything. At least, this is all it does in Arena Mode.

Why were you using Homeotherm if the errorlog says it's not a valid tag for materials?


In any case, I tried a variety of things and I couldn't get it to work either. I think that extreme temperatures take a fair bit longer to do damage in the new version; hell, if you fall in the magma, you still have like three or four turns to get out before you die. If you can somehow get your hands on some actual fire, then it's a different story.

On the other hand, certain other things I've done seem to indicate that temperatures in the arena... aren't necessarily working quite right. Maybe.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

It actually looks like there's a typo in the SPEC_HEAT entries for a few tissue layers - changing the value of 4181 to 418 results in rapid heating so that firebreath and magma actually kill you.

EDIT: I am incorrect, it's a deliberate value, but fire is still off and modifying the spec_heat fixes it in a way.

Wee! It worked! It's not that potent, but it still works great!

For reference, 60000 is the maximum temperature.
