I don't quite get reactions... Could someone post an example reaction that is done at a Mechanic's workshop that uses up wood and rope and produces a wooden mechanism?

Edit: This is what I've tried:

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:MAKE_WOODEN_MECHANISM]
[NAME:make wooden mechanisms]
[BUILDING:MECHANICS:CUSTOM_T]
[REAGENT:A:5:BUILDMAT:NONE:NONE:NONE][ANY_PLANT_MATERIAL]

In the product, if you want to use the reagent's material itself, use NONE instead of a reaction product class (TAN_MAT in this example).

[PRODUCT:100:1:TRAPPARTS:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:BUILDMAT]
[SKILL:MECHANICS]
[AUTOMATIC]As you can see, I didn't try adding rope to the reaction just yet, seeing as I couldn't even get the wood to work. :L

[scamtank]

Buildmat isn't an item token. You use it as a separate tag below the REAGENT tag, just like PRESERVE_REAGENT and MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT stuff. And even if it was in the right place, it's a little redundant. Wood doesn't come in bars or boulders. When we limit the reagent to search for logs only, the ANY_PLANT_MATERIAL tag also stops being very useful. You don't have too many metal or stone trees, after all.

Try using these lines instead and see what happens.

Code: [Select]

[REAGENT:A:5:WOOD:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[REAGENT:B:1:CHAIN:NONE:NONE:NONE]

[PRODUCT:100:1:TRAPPARTS:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:NONE]
Don't know why you'd want the reaction to eat that much wood, though. Also, the "rope" can be either a woven rope or a metal chain. If that's a sticking point, you could set up a new reaction class.

Thanks for the info Still didn't get it to work though :/ The reaction doesn't show up in-game. Is the BUILDING tag correct?
At the moment, it's set to [BUILDING:MECHANICS:CUSTOM_T]




I want the reaction to eat a ton of wood to stop people from massproducing them. A zombie mod which can be "beaten" by spamming cage traps would be kind of boring. It doesn't really matter if chains can be used too, the point is just to make mechanism-making time-consuming, cumbersome and hard.

Only KILN, SMELTER, TANNER, KITCHEN, QUERN, MILLSTONE, STILL, CRAFTSMAN, and any custom buildings are available for use in reactions. So if you change [BUILDING:MECHANICS] to [BUILDING:CRAFSTMAN], the reaction should be available at the Craftsdwarf's workshop.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I changed 2h swords, great axes, mauls etc. to be MINIMUM_SIZE:60000 but kept them as TWO_HANDED:77500. This should let dwarves use them, but still require 77500 size to use them one-handed.

I just got a goblin ambush squad leader who's using a two-handed sword in her right hand and a shield in the left. Apparently the TWO-HANDED size is only checked for dwarves equipping weapons, not invaders. Was this known?

Story: got an ambush and a minotaur at the same time at the same map edge; the minotaur actually discovered the ambush. It wrestled broken both knees and an elbow from one of the macegoblins, then started strangling it, while not being hit/only got bruised by the other goblins, until the two-handed sword-wielding squad leader got lucky and cut off the minotaur's head. That prompted me to check the goblin's inventory (I had had great weapon -wielding goblins in sieges earlier, but didn't check if they also had shields).

It could just be a particularly large goblin.

The largest a goblin can be is 93750. Not inconceivable that they can two-hand a 77500 sword!

Of course, the goblin has to be (I think) ~2.4 deviations from the mean in two different categories to be that big.

Damnit, forgot to mention that I checked the goblin's size with unit info viewer, it was a bit over 62000. Like I said, I didn't think to check during the sieges whether they were multi-grasping or not, or wearing shields or not, but based off this one piece of evidence, it doesn't seem like invaders respect TWO_HANDED.

For possible testing regarding whether they respect it when equipping: If I release a stripped goblin prisoner from a cage, will it try to arm itself if there's weapons lying around? Or do creatures only do that when they wrestle a weapon/pants off an enemy?

Found the solution to my COLOR:MAT problem, if anyone is interested. MAT only works in workshops, not in furnaces. And thats it, simple thing.

Huh, I was kinda imagining some more serious graphical glitches.

Weird, but good to know.

[Enemy post]

Is there any way to play as procedurally generated creatures like titans and forgotten beasts in adventurer mode?

[Meph]

No. You can do megabeasts though, but procedually generated raws are stored compressed in the world.dat.

[Putnam]

And they're called things like TITAN_1 and FORGOTTEN_BEAST_1. You should be able to.

[Meph]

Wait... oh damn, you are right, the tags go into the entity, not the creature. So... yeah, give me a minute, I'll test

[WillowLuman]

In my experience, the game doesn't recognize RCP creatures when referenced in user raws. My context is trying to use them for body transformations, though.

[Meph]

Tested with this, doesnt work:

Odd. It used to work, at least, but it's been a while since I last did that.
