Author Topic: Is it possible to make a quadruped which uses it's front feet as hands?  (Read 613 times)

In the object testing arena, I discovered that monkeys can't actually pick anything up.  I'd like to mod in a playable civ which are quadrupeds, but can still grasp things.  Centaur-like creatures are not acceptable compromises, as I personally can't handle the idea of their anatomy (with the two torsos and such).  I'd like the creature in question to only have 4 limbs. 

Is this possible?

Make a separate body and add GRASP to the front feet.

Well, that worked great.  I've never edited bodies before, so I hadn't thought to do that.  Pretty straightforward though.

Always a big help, Deon! :)

Thanks. I'm glad it worked, I was just about to post the raws (although you just need to copy QUARDUPED, name it something like QUADRUPED_GRASP and add [GRASP] to front paws :P).

That's exactly what I did. Weird. I even named it QUADRUPED_GRASP

Heh, then we just think in the same direction.
