Is there any way to make it so that a weapon can only be produced through a custom reaction, and not by smithing?

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

Yes, and it can be a foriegn weapon too. So that your civ won't make it on their own or use it for combat/trading.

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:MAKE_WEAPON_XXXX]
[NAME:make xxxx]
[BUILDING:(buidling ID here):NONE] - the "NONE" can be replaced with CUSTOM_(x) or CUSTOM_SHIFT_(x)
[REAGENT:A:1:BAR:NONE:INORGANIC:(metal name)]
[PRODUCT:100:1:WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_XXXX:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:NONE]
[SKILL:(skill token)]
EDIT:
Your name caught my eye

[WillowLuman]

But what if I want them to trade it/ use it?

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

But what if I want them to trade it/ use it?

Then you must add [WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_XXXX] to the entity. But this has the drawback of being able to forge it.

Can't have a Yay without a Nay.

Or

Make a "TOY" that is named slightly differently then the WEAPON say "XXXX Mold" and the reaction takes this MOLD and a BAR to make a WEAPON

EDIT:
They will trade Molds in which you can use to make weapons.

Looks like I'll have to wait for next version then

Incidentally, do you know the ID for the leatherworks shop?

The only buildings you can specify fur custom reactions are KILN, SMELTER, TANNER, KITCHEN, QUERN, MILLSTONE, STILL, CRAFTSMAN, and custom workshops - other workshops are not permitted.

[WillowLuman]

Okay then, what about specifying Leather as a reagent?

SKIN_TANNED

Ran a test. This doesn't seem to work:

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:MAKE_LEATHER_WHIP]
[NAME:make leather whip]
[BUILDING:CRAFTSMAN:NONE]
[REAGENT:leather:100:SKIN_TANNED]
[PRODUCT:100:1:WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_WHIP:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT]
[SKILL:LEATHERWORK]
They can do the reaction, but it makes no whips at all

[rephikul]

[REACTION:MAKE_LEATHER_WHIP]
   [NAME:make leather whip]
   [BUILDING:CRAFTSMAN:NONE]
   [REAGENT:leather:100:SKIN_TANNED:NONE:NONE:NONE]
   [PRODUCT:100:1:WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_WHIP:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:leather:NONE]
   [SKILL:LEATHERWORK]

[WillowLuman]

Now it says that the reaction can't be done without a tanned hide, though I embarked with 50 leather

[NecroRebel]

Now it says that the reaction can't be done without a tanned hide, though I embarked with 50 leather

That's because the reaction is asking for 100 leather and you only have 50. Switch the reagent line to    [REAGENT:leather:1:SKIN_TANNED:NONE:NONE:NONE] and it should work.

[WillowLuman]

Thank you! It works, not sure how leather whips will perform in combat though

[Minnakht]

Basically, in DF, whips work by whipping a small metal whip tip into the enemy. The tip's small surface and supersonic speed cause it to slam right through armour and break bones.
Whips don't act like cutting weapons here, nor latching-onto-skin-and-ripping weapons, and so on.

I don't think the next version will have any support, either.
