I need to get a syndrome working more reliably...it has to be transferred by a gas cloud caused by something boiling. I've got SYN_CONTACT and SYN_INHALED set on it right now, but it still fails sometimes. How can I set it up so the thing that creates the boiling stone at the workshop is always affected by the syndrome?

EDIT: As far as I can tell from testing, it's random based on whether the creature gets a turn while still in the gas cloud...or something...

EDIT: Okay, it seems to depend on whether the creature is counted as being caught in a "cloud" of the gas as opposed to a "burst". Is there any way to manipulate that?

EDIT: Assuming it's impossible to make this reliable and working from there now.

You want BY_CATEGORY:EYE, not BY_TYPE. EYE is not a valid type, as I think the errorlog should tell you.

Instantanous eye rot! Yes! Now if I can incorporate sensory nerve rot into this too I can have the perfect dwarves!

Do you all have any idea why this workshop is visible right at embark even though it has the [NEEDS_MAGMA] tag?  Is there something funny about WORKSHOPS?  I have a FURNACE that NEEDS_MAGMA too and it is properly hidden.

Workshops probably can't require magma. Make it a furnace instead.

Double post haha but yes that was running around my head as well. It on'y makes sense yes? Toady has only harded coded magma buildings that are in the furnace menu.

The magmaforge is (b-w-v) in vanilla!   But yeah, I'll try it next time as a furnace

True but also hard coded. something that Toady has simply used his powers to make it come to exsistance lol

Why can't I get WEATHER_FALLING_MATERIAL or WEATHER_CREEPING_<anything> to work on material emissions? When the interaction is used, they just don't do anything...

[Putnam]

It only works for environmental interactions, I.E biome-based ones. CREATURE_ACTION sources won't work.

Oh. Damn.

What's the best way to disseminate a syndrome amongst an entire fortress population, then? UNDIRECTED_VAPOR/UNDIRECTED_GAS on the original target and hope for the best? (Note that the syndrome is beneficial, the player creates it and WANTS everyone to get it. So things like putting it in the food supply etc. would theoretically be fine)

[Putnam]

Make a new interaction that applies the syndrome directly, give it a short wait period, and don't give it a usage hint.

[LordRandomness]

And that'll make the interaction user target allies whenever it comes up?

[Putnam]

It'll make them use the interaction if at all possible, as soon as possible, indiscriminately.
