[A Spoony Bard]

Is there is a tag that makes it so only a certain caste can become the king/ a noble? I remember a thread in which people were talking about it, but I could be wrong.

http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Position_token
ALLOWED_CLASS  CREATURE_CLASS Token  Only creatures with the specified class token can be appointed to this position. 
ALLOWED_CREATURE     Unknown - may restrict position holders by CREATURE type. 

I don't think World gen respects this, but in fortress mode I think it does.

Ah, thank you.
Can a creature be a part of multiple classes, too?

[Putnam]

Yes. You can define any number of classes, and the classes can be defined any way you want.

1. Is there a reason this thread isn't stickied?

2. How would I make a syndrome which causes any limb touched by a substance to disappear, or at least burst into a puff of the substance?

...?

Or do I just have to use CE_TRANSFORM and just make the entire creature go POOF in an explosion of malignant disintegrating void?

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

You would have to go with that option, or cause horrible bleeding and rotting. But rot doesn't remove limbs. So your best bet would be some sort of insta-kill

Aw, man... Oh well...
Also, I should be able to just copy-paste the giant sponge creature, and replace its tissues with an exploding (BOILING_POINT:9000, FIXED_TEMP:9001) material, and it'll explode upon creation, right?

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

yup that should kill it

Hey I'm running this DF with Genesis and made one of its new civ's playable. However whenever I want to embark with it, I get no trade listed next to my own civ at every region.

Make sure that your civ's entity file has a [PROGRESS_TRIGGER] in it, this indicates at what point they'll show up.  They MIGHT also need to have access to at some kind of pack or pulling animal, but I'm not 100% certain.

[Starmantis]

Is there any way to make secrets that only some creatures are capable of learning? so say, humans cant learn secrets but elves can, or in the case I want to do, you need a horn to perfrm magic.

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

Custom secerts that can only target your desired creature. As for the horn, you can turn it into a syndrome inducing item SYN_INGESTED on food or drink, INHALED for boilding stone (never 100% affect chance).

Or do you mean... Ponies Unicorns with Magic horns...

I refuse MLP

[Starmantis]

can I specify it to only a specific caste?

I already had the trigger and set all normal processes at 0. As for the animals, currently they're limited to evil creatures only and can only embark with mummies, if I allow them the same stuff (such as mules) as dwarves it should be fine?

[Putnam]

can I specify it to only a specific caste?

Yeah, just add the [CAN_DO_INTERACTION:interaction] to that specific caste.

[DeKaFu]

Probably an incredibly basic issue:
I'm trying to add a new type of stone to an existing game which self-destructs as soon as it's created in a glazing reaction. See here. I figured I could make it boil or take cold/heat damage or something... But I can't figure out how to even produce it in the game.

I can make the reaction produce other kinds of stone successfully, but when I try to add my custom one it just produces "magma", regardless of temperature settings.

Here's what I've got:

   [SKILL:GLAZING]

I've never done material modding before so I don't know what I'm missing...
Also I'd probably rather it just disappeared instead of boiled, since I don't want to produce a cloud. It's only there so the reaction has a product and grants experience - the less visible the better.

[Putnam]

You want BOULDER, not STONE.
