Since bows and crossbows use as ammunition anything with the [CLASS:BOLT/ARROW] tag attached to it...theoretically this tag can be attached to every conceivable object in the raws.

Which means that a ranged weapon using STUFF as ammo will be able to shoot it with the velocity and force desired. Which naturally leads to something like this:

[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_GUN_GRAVITY]
[NAME:gravity gun:gravity gun]
[SIZE:700]
[SKILL:HAMMER]
[RANGED:BOW:STUFF]
[SHOOT_FORCE:100000]
[SHOOT_MAXVEL:10500]
[MINIMUM_SIZE:15000]
[TWO_HANDED:67500]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:4]

With the tag [CLASS:STUFF] attached to every single object in the raws that can accept it. Say hello to toys travelling at 10500 velocity with 100000 force.

Discuss.

Hmmmm.
Would be a lot better were there were just a [CLASS:ANY] tag.

Have you tested the [CLASS:STUFF] idea?  I thought only AMMO-type items could have the CLASS tag, and that each ammo could have only one CLASS.

I could be wrong, though, so you should test it.

[Lycaeon]

Damn. It seems the items do need to be ammo type for the class tag to work. There goes that idea.

FYI, there's a "lock thread" button at the bottom of the page on the left.

[FearfulJesuit]

Isn't there an ammo tag you could put on toys?

[D_E]

No.  The first line of an Item declaration sets its type
[ITEM_AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_BOLTS] is an example of a type of ammo.

[ITEM_TOY:ITEM_TOY_PUZZLEBOX] is an example of a toy.

I can still post in this thread cause it's not locked!!

Maybe you could create a custom weapon that fires toys? Santa would be pleased by this.
