Speaking of overly circuitous workarounds, I haven't been developing my superhero mod for a while due to one seemingly insoluble bug: the flamey material for flamey weapons and armor, but no way to stop the non-fireproof supers from using it and killing themselves.

What if you gave everyone fireproof gloves? Then they should be able to handle it without bursting into flames themselves. Other then that I don't know of any workaround, since objects are notoriously difficult to workaround as so much of their properties are hardcoded.

Problem is, people embark with stuff made of it or traders/migrants/caravan guards arrive with it. Maybe I'll have to drop it, or just have it for ballista bolts and trap components only.

Also, various powers (web slinging, fire control) seem indiscriminate in their effects, but maybe that just makes managing hero squads more FUN

The [SPECIAL] tag should prevent your fire issues.

Tell me about it. Back in my old mod I had a race that could naturally breath dragonfire. All fine and dandy until I got sieged while they were in the trade depot, triggering them throwing dragonfire about willy-nilly and killing a fair amount of my dwarves.

And yeah, [SPECIAL] should stop it from being brought by caravans, migrants, or invaders.

I'm trying to implement like, a bog monster, and it's supposed to have a toxic odor. Syndrome-laiden materials, obviously, but I'm trying to figure out how to have the syndrome airborne outside of just CDI:MATERIAL_EMISSION--since that has to be activated, and isn't static or passive. I was thinking I could do a tissue layer made out of the appropriate syndrome material, gaseous at room temp, and has a crazy ass healing rate so it replenishes itself. Problem is, it's not really doing what I'd like it to be doing....

SECRETION should work.

[laularukyrumo]

figures they'd have a tag for that and I wouldn't find it.

someone really needs to write a glossary of every tag, summary of data known on it, syntax, categories, alphabetical listings, etc.

edit: SECRETION is so slow I'm having a tough time even figuring out if the extract is doing anything, and even if it is, I'm desperate to make it fizz out often. Any way to speed up the timer?

The wiki is your friend, you know

[laularukyrumo]

wiki doesn't list everything.

Several whole categories of tokens aren't linked to Category:tokens, and a couple of selection-based tokens I couldn't actually find--if they exist, I'm not sure where the syntax documentation on them is.

Hi

I've modded in a venomous bite for dragons, however it causes the victim to melt(it was a copy of GCS).

What can be done?

That is caused by the dragon's venom's melting point being WAY above what it should be, due to the whole "fireproofing" thing that Toady has with the dragons. Where blood and pus's melting points are changed (There's a comment there from Toady that says why), add your venom.

This syndrome won't work. . . and I'm not sure why.  I added secretions to the appropriate parts and even tried using its blood instead.

of small note, my last modded creature uses syn contact and secretions in the mouth to do its business, and that didnt work here...

[Putnam]

It doesn't have [SYN_CONTACT].
