Is there any way for a creature with a secret to be a "healer" and search for wounded and use their powers on them?

[Putnam]

No searching for wounded, but Meph, Hugo and narhiril are all working on healers and trying to figure out how they can get the healers to only do their magic on injured dwarves.

I have a question. I'm making a species of half-dragon half-human people called dragos, and I want them to have an interaction to fly for a short period of time to escape from things. I have no idea how to make such interactions, though.

The best you could do is have them transform into another creature with wings and the flier tag- create a dummy entry for "winged dragos" with no population information, and then something like

Code: [Select]

[CE_BODY_TRANSFORMATION:START:0:END:120]
[CE:CREATURE:DRAGO_WINGED:DEFAULT]

to the relevant interaction. Fiddle with the duration until it gets someplace you like. The downside to this approach is that it will also heal the creature, which likely makes it inappropriate for a "run away" interaction.

Meh, I'll just wait until I can use CE_ADD_TAG:FLIER.

Is there any way to mod it so sensory & motor nerve damage can heal?

No but you can use CE TRANSFORMATION to temporarily transform a creature, which will heal all of its injuries. Just make the duration 1 and it'll take 1 time unit to heal.

Can you add an attack with a syndrome?
My quest for a proper zombie virus hinges on adding a [SPECIALATTACK_INTERACTION:ZOMBIE_BITE] to an affected creature.

Yes, you CAN add attacks with syndromes. How do you think animals inject their venom?

find the NERVE_TEMPLATE, and give it a healing rate. Lower numbers are faster- skin heals at 100 for comparison, but if you want nerve damage to be difficult to recover from (but non-debilitating) you can plug in a higher number.

I think he was looking for something that didn't require an intermediary medium like venom to work, which I don't know how it would work. Maybe make a special material for zombie teeth that spread the syndrome on contact?

I should be more specific, my zombie curse is modeled off the vampire/necro curse so no [CE_BODY_TRANSFORMATION], I don't want my zombies healing, and i don't want a generic zombie body for all the zombies.

I don't want a contact based contaminant for spreading to avoid husk-like issues, so the ideal method would be to spread it like a werecurse with [SPECIALATTACK_INTERACTION:ZOMBIE_BITE].
   
lets take a dwarf for an example, here is the dwarfs bite attack.
[ATTACK:BITE:CHILD_BODYPART_GROUP:BY_CATEGORY:HEAD:BY_CATEGORY:TOOTH]
      [ATTACK_SKILL:BITE]
      [ATTACK_VERB:bite:bites]
      [ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC:100]
      [ATTACK_PENETRATION_PERC:100]
      [ATTACK_FLAG_EDGE]
      [ATTACK_PRIORITY:SECOND]
      [ATTACK_FLAG_CANLATCH]

for the syndrome to work I'd need the curse to either add [SPECIALATTACK_INTERACTION:ZOMBIE_BITE] to that attack(and preferably change [ATTACK_PRIORITY:SECOND] to [ATTACK_PRIORITY:MAIN]) or just have it add in a new bite attack.

That is what I'm trying to figure out.

Sorry if this has already been asked, but I am basically clueless to modding and would like to know how to make an adamantine sword appear(and possibly disappear) at will in adventurer mode. How do I do this?

[Meph]

Adamantine sword in adventure mode:
[REACTION:ADAMANTINE_SWORD]
[NAME:free candy sword]
[ADVENTURE_MODE_ENABLED]
[PRODUCT:100:1:WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD_SHORT:INORGANIC:ADAMANTINE]

3 QUESTIONS:

#1. Did anyone got this: [EXTRA_BUTCHER_OBJECT:BODY_TOKEN][EBO_ITEM:ITEM_TOKEN:MATERIAL_TOKEN] to work, and if yes, how ?

#2. How can I sort the list of the pets at embark screen ? Just the order top to bottom they appear in the creature raws ? Or alphabetically, after creature ID, or after creature name ?

#3. When is a stone marked as economic and when a non-economic ? I have olivine as economic for example, it is maddening to set the stone stocks every time I embark.

That only works for NERVOUS tissue in the spines and whatever else uses NERVE, Sensory and Motor Nerves are 'severed' thus gone for good. S and M nerves are brought on by the [HAS_NERVES] tag and they show up in all tissues that have [MUSCUALR] only way to create your own type of motor nerves would me make a new tissue that gets placed under the muscle layer in the limbs. to do that you need to make a few slight changes to the ABS (advanced bone structure) that I created

Unfortunately, this only works for spinal injuries, not severed nerves.  I modded my custom race to have healing nervous tissue because I was tired of having to retire every time I got a nervous system injury (this was before healing transformations were possible).  They heal from a broken spine easily enough, but if they get a severed motor nerve, they're still crippled for life.  I don't think nerves work quite the same way as tissues, so I'm not sure if it's possible to heal them, apart from transformations.

[SPECIALATTACK_INTERACTION:ZOMBIE_BITE] causes the interaction (and whatever syndrome it may have) directly.
[SPECIALATTACK_INJECT_EXTRACT:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:VENOM:LIQUID:100:100] is how venom injections are done.

The first one magically affects the bitten creature with the interaction syndrome, whereas the second injects syndrome-laced venom.  I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes, though, since I believe they both work in pretty much the same circumstances.
