Is it still possible to make ranged weapons do heat and cold damage?

[darkflagrance]

Not exactly.

You can give them ammunition made out of metal with high or low FIXED_TEMP I believe. I think there are some mods already with heat and cold damage dealing ammo (the wizard tower mod?)

Won't that hurt the user though? I'm trying to make a cryo gun and thermite launcher....

[Garbles]

You could maybe do it if you made your race immune to hot/cold temperatures? But then they wouldn't suffer the additional effects of the ammo if you shot them with it.

I think I may have found a way to make the ammo I need for the thermite weapon:

Make a special metal with the right ignition point
Make a custom reaction that requires said metal to produce the ammo.

Bam! buring ammo

Make a metal with a fixed temperature and require all haulers, smiths, and marksmen to wear gauntlets made of that. Should work in theory.
Oh, and make a type of leather like that too to make quivers out of. You can also use a reaction to make a quiver out of the magic metal with a fixed temperature.

Actually that won't be necessary. The enemy this is intended to for has a very high body temp. Plus no dwarves in this mod.

I see. Carry on then!
However, I'm not sure if you can do cold damage.

Make the metal cold enough to freeze their body parts.

The difference between a burning weapon and a freezing weapon is that you can make a material burn at a body temperature higher than the body temp of a creature that isn't a dwarf, so you can easily handle it. Such isn't the case for freezing.

what mod exactly?

otherwise, great topic, I might need it.

FIXED_MAT_TEMP:0

But it'll be more risky Fun.

But then you'd need the gauntlets I mentioned.
