Is it possible to make a spider creature that sets webs semi-frequently instead of just spitting them at enemies? It's intended as a common domestic creature.

[Putnam]

Remove the CDI:USAGE_HINT and make the CDI:WAIT_PERIOD longer.

[Meph]

Yes, the default is 30 ticks, which is super short. 33600 is one season. 400 should be once per day.

EDIT: Crap, I meant 33600 is one month. Not one season. 1200 is a day. thanks putnam.

[Putnam]

1200 is once per day...

[keegspot]

all of the creatures in the game can hide when other creatures can see them and the only thing i think could cause it is this

[INTERACTION:HIDE]
   [I_SOURCE:CREATURE_ACTION]
   [I_TARGET:A:CREATURE]

Is there any way to change skill gain from strange moods? Is it affected by [SKILL_LEARN_RATE] token?

[Lukander]

 Working with materials for a creature and I was wondering if magma should be INORGANIC:NONE or INORGANIC:NO_MATGLOSS? Also would ash just be entered as ASH, ASH:NONE or INORGANIC:ASH?

[MagmaMcFry]

Is there any way to change skill gain from strange moods? Is it affected by [SKILL_LEARN_RATE] token?

I believe not, but you can still prevent moods from making your creatures permanently awesome by setting the skill rust and demotion rates really high.

Working with materials for a creature and I was wondering if magma should be INORGANIC:NONE or INORGANIC:NO_MATGLOSS? Also would ash just be entered as ASH, ASH:NONE or INORGANIC:ASH?

NONE and NO_MATGLOSS are synonyms in that context, and for ash you write ASH:NONE.

[Lukander]

Ah, thank you for the reply on the magma and ash material questions. 

 Can anyone think of noteworthy instances of how secretions behave (attacks by secretion covered limbs, if the materials build-up in a location and if that creates a noticeable FPS hit, etc.)

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

Can anyone think of noteworthy instances of how secretions behave (attacks by secretion covered limbs, if the materials build-up in a location and if that creates a noticeable FPS hit, etc.)

A Limb that has a secretion on will mainly transfer the secreted substance if it is grappled with/by (the XXX grabs the YYY with it's ZZZ(ZZZ having a poisonous secretion))

However if that limb has an edge attack, and the secreted substance also can ENTERS_BLOOD you can have a poisoned attack if it manages to pierce a vascular tissue(clarify?)

But in all ends it's better to just use a SPECIALATTACK_INJECT_EXTRACT because all secreted materials of course get the temp checks and slow down everything as we all know, also if it rains it will make puddles constantly from that creature.

This here is an attempt at updating the tank code I took and modified from the old Trench Warfare Mod (namely by giving the individual parts actual size values), yet something appears to be causing the tanks to be unable to stand. Any ideas?

[Putnam]

no brain

[Propman]

Conflict resolved, by simply pasting the values over the old code, I got something functional. The brain didn't actually work, though here's the final code:

Some of you might recognize this mess of a code as the sunflower fairy from Totaku's Suika Fortress mod. What I've been trying to do is separate the male and female fae into more distinct castes (namely, giving the females actual wings while giving males hearty beards+more leprechaunish behaviour), and have run into a couple road bumps:

1.) Attempting to view the descriptions of either gender causes the game to crash.

2.) I don't know how to get tiles to respect caste. To demonstrate:

[CREATURE_GRAPHICS:FAIRY_SUNFLOWER]
   [DEFAULT:ANIMAL:1:13:AS_IS:FEMALE]
   [DEFAULT:ANIMAL:2:13:AS_IS:MALE]

The sprite is always set to that of the leprechaun (male) regardless of the creature's gender. Is there a specific token I need to type for caste differences?

[Putnam]

Graphics cannot respect caste.
