Yes. Give it syndromes with CAN_DO_INTERACTION:MATERIAL_EMISSION... see the wiki on syndromes and interactions for examples. You add the syndrome in the drink material of the plant. :)

Looked already, can't get work. Syndromes were easy, interactions... well... let's say i'll take rather straight example. Testing just to see if you make them work right takes way too long time. Half hour per thing, at best. At worst up to four hours. Yes, I am slow to make anything work. You may now understand why I hate build new things. Through, I really love to modify templates. Fast enough...

Here. Put this under the drink material.

Code: [Select]
[SYNDROME]
[SYN_NAME:burning throat]
            [SYN_AFFECTED_CLASS:GENERAL_POISON]
[SYN_INGESTED]
[CE_CAN_DO_INTERACTION:PROB:100:START:0:END:10000]
[CDI:USAGE_HINT:ATTACK]
[CDI:FLOW:FIREJET]
[CDI:VERB:breathe flame:breathes flame:NA]
[CDI:ADV_NAME:breathe flame]
[CDI:INTERACTION:MATERIAL_EMISSION]
[CDI:TARGET:C:LINE_OF_SIGHT]
[CDI:TARGET_RANGE:C:6]
[CDI:MAX_TARGET_NUMBER:C:1]
[CDI:WAIT_PERIOD:200]

And tweak the values as you like.

What if we turned everything into elf skin, would that work?

Creature tag questions!

1. Does BONECARN have any issues with wild creatures? They'll still spawn in game even if they can only eat bones right? It's only civs that have issues with it?

2. Is it possible to put both [BONECARN] and [CARNIVORE] to get around the "bone eating civs tend to starve to death rapidly" issue for entities?

1. no, it doesn't
2. BONECARN implies CARNIVORE anyway

I'm back, because creatures regularly give me trouble!

So I want some creatures to have black hair and black eyes exclusively. But it's inexplicibly not taking them. It's puzzling, because another creature that uses the exact same color modifiers works fine.

Spoiler: Errors (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Raws (click to show/hide)

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Figured it out, blind cave ogres, which I used for a starting point don't have eyes! And I forgot to declare basic hair layers because they don't start with hair either. Hurf. I will paste the entire creature raws in the future.

Interaction questions! Along with a couple of misc questions.

1. I have a melee interaction that's supposed to stun enemies and inflict pain, among other things, but it's being used from a range. Why is that? The creature isn't pummeling itself and it's effecting its' opponent, I've confirmed that.

Spoiler: Info (click to show/hide)

2. I have a ranged reaction that's hitting more people then it should. It's also not accepting EYE, EYES or ALL (I THINK just the ALL in the PAIN segment, but the BRUISING segment may also be setting it off) as tokens. How do I get that working?

Spoiler: Info (click to show/hide)

3. Is there a way to make a creature immune to higher temperatures, besides making custom tissues that have higher melting points? One of the creatures I've made is melting itself with it's own homeotherm. I've tried FIREIMMUNE but it doesn't seem to be working.

And finally, 4. One of the creatures appears to, on occasion, be dying and spawning water/magma on the square it dies on. I have no idea why. This happens in the testing arena, if it helps.

Thanks in advance, again.

Hey, how to make interaction target specific bodyparts like let's say lungs or eyes? Not own bodyparts of course, but someones elses...

You can't target specific bodyparts with interactions, but you can make syndromes target BP:LOCALIZED and you can apply those syndromes by way of a creature attack with SPECIALATTACK_INJECT_EXTRACT. This lets you use the aimed attacks system to precisely deliver syndromes. A downside of this is that you can't learn the attack via secrets, but there's currently no way without downsides.

I don't know about 1 and 4, but I can help you a bit with the other ones.

2. EYES isn't a valid type. Try using BY_CATEGORY:EYE or BY_TYPE:SIGHT

3. No.

Likewise, in your first one, TORSO is also not a valid type. Use BY_CATEGORY:BODY_UPPER or BODY_LOWER or BY_TYPE:UPPERBODY or LOWERBODY. No idea why it's affecting more than one target or why the listed range isn't being respected. You might want to try changing I_TARGET:B and CDI:TARGET:C to match, though I don't think that's it.

Bear in mind that if you make it by category, some creatures won't be affected, such as those with a simple one-part body, who just use the BODY category in place of BODY_UPPER and BODY_LOWER.

Aha, I didn't notice the target discrepancy. Always some minor thing. For future reference, where can you find where these body parts are listed? Is it in BP templates, or is it some thing in the .exe it's calling, and as such you just kind've have to memorize them?

Thanks to the both of you, also!

Interactions! Take a look at the dragon raws along with interaction_standard for an example, and go from there. You can find interaction tokens on the wiki.
