I have not been able to make [IT_FORBIDDEN:X] work at all. Does it only work on certain tags? Am I putting it in the wrong place?
[INTERACTION:QUEEN_EVOLUTION]
[I_SOURCE:CREATURE_ACTION]
[I_TARGET:A:CREATURE]
[IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_CREATURE]
[IT_FORBIDDEN:NOFEAR]
[I_EFFECT:ADD_SYNDROME]
[IE_TARGET:A]
[IE_IMMEDIATE]
[SYNDROME]
[CE_BODY_TRANSFORMATION:START:0]
[CE:CREATURE:ANT_MAN:QUEEN]
I think what is supposed to happen in that case is that a creature with the NOFEAR tag will be unable to use the interaction, but I gave the caste both that interaction and the NOFEAR tag and it could use it fine.
A creature with the NOFEAR tag will be unable to be TARGETED by the interaction.
SELF_ONLY targeting probably doesn't check that.
That's it! Although it appears to be a "little from column A, little from column B" situation. NOFEAR and SUPERNATURAL worked, but STERILE didn't for some reason. Now, two follow-up questions.
1) Does anybody know what the SUPERNATURAL tag controls? I only used it because it was on
this list and didn't seem obviously important.
2) What am I doing wrong here?
[INTERACTION:PRE_QUEEN_EVOLUTION]
[I_SOURCE:CREATURE_ACTION]
[I_TARGET:A:CREATURE]
[IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_CREATURE]
[I_EFFECT:ADD_SYNDROME]
[IE_TARGET:A]
[IE_IMMEDIATE]
[SYNDROME]
[CE_ADD_TAG:SUPERNATURAL:START:1:END:100]
This should give the creature a syndrome that bestows the SUPERNATURAL tag for a certain amount of time. I can tell it does not because I used this, then used the other interaction that should fail if it is present. In theory, if I can get this to work I can force a creature to wait months before they can use the transformation interaction, thereby simulating a complex caterpillar->butterfly life cycle.
