My previous question went unanswered, sorry if this gets repetitive.

Can I add verbs to the descriptor_shape files?

The other question is pointless, nevermind about it.

Define "verbs". If you mean with a VERB token, then no. The only shape tokens are, so far as I can tell:

NAME
WORD
ADJ
GEMS_USE_NOUN
GEMS_USE_ADJ
GEMS_USE_ADJ_NOUN

I mean a word that in syntax conveys an action.
Crud.

...I understand that. How do you want this verb to appear in the context of engravings that will be using this symbol?

Nevermind, I found a solution. Put verbs in instead of adjectives, while still using the [ADJ:x] token.

[Putnam]

Hehe. Gotta love workarounds.

[Stirk]

Ah. I am trying to make mines out of explosives as trap components, but they keep exploding every time I try to make them, mostly killing the dwarf and ruining the workshop. Should I not use fuel in the reaction or something?

Never mind. In retrospect, it was probably a bad idea to test temperature sensitive explosives in a warm area.

[Mr Space Cat]

Alright. I got the building working, but for some reason it doesn't need any materials to be built.  I'm gonna look into that, but here's the raws if anyone's interested in helping out.

                              ^^^Is that right?
There's more to the reaction than this, but I'm only concerned with if I got the shortcut tags right.

Also, if I were to add the :NO_SUBTYPE:INORGANIC instead of :NONE:NONE to [REAGENT:chain:1:ITEM_ROPE] would this make it require metal chains, rather than any rope like what I'm assuming?

[Putnam]

The shortcut tag is right and you forgot to actually include a BUILDITEM; BUILD_MAT alone won't cut it, that's a modifier token. You probably want BUILDITEM:NONE:NONE:NONE:NONE.

[Putnam]

Is that the entire file?

If so, you're missing some things.

[Teneb]

Is that the entire file?

If so, you're missing some things.

Yes it is. Could you tell me what I missed?

[Putnam]

The identifier at the top and [OBJECT:BODY_DETAIL_PLAN].

[Teneb]

Thanks for all the answers. Maybe now I'll get a clean errorlog.

[Mr Space Cat]

Ugh. I cannot find what is wrong with my mod if my life depended on it.  The workshop builds fine, except for the fact it still doesn't need materials, but I can't cue any of the reactions for the weaponry; even after multiple checks of the tags all matching up, checking entities, and creating new worlds only to make a fortress and test it and dump it. This is the only thing stopping the mod from functioning properly, as far as I can tell. I haven't even been able to actually test if the reactions have the proper reagent tags after all this time because no matter what I do I cannot seem to get the reaction to be cued in either the workshop or the manager.

Maybe it's because there's something wrong w/ the reagents, I don't know. I feel like I hit a brick wall here.

The weapons themselves work perfectly fine in arena mode, so there's no problems there.

[Facekillz058]

Where's the [MATERIAL_SIZE:] Tag on your weapons?



And, a question of my own:
Does a weapons weight affect EDGE attacks at all?

[Teneb]

Still having problems with the body_detail_plan, added the identifier and [OBJECT:BODY_DETAIL_PLAN], but the errorlog still gives me the same thing.

[Mr Space Cat]

Where's the [MATERIAL_SIZE:] Tag on your weapons?

[MATERIAL_SIZE:] determines how many bars of a metal it costs to produce the item, in this case a weapon, at a forge.

My goal with these weapons is to create much more dangerous melee weapons, but I still want for there to be some balance. Rather than have the dwarves magically make a chainsaw out of 10 metal bars I wanted them instead to use the reactions to craft them. In my head-canon for the mod, the dwarves build the weapons from trap parts and use mechanisms to make them work, so it made sense to make reactions require specific trap parts. These weapons also end up being much more costly to build compared to the vanilla weaponry...that's the theory anyway, if the reactions would just cooperate with the workshop. -.-'

I figured that [MATERIAL_SIZE] could be excluded entirely so that the weapons can only be made with specific parts at a specific workshop.

[Clover Magic]

Unfortunately, according to the wiki, MATERIAL_SIZE is a required token.  Weapons must have it or they won't work.

I think instead you can just not give them the weapon in the entity files, but give them the reaction to make it.
