Well, they'd be more thralls than zombies. They'd be bound to the caster's will.

[Putnam]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that can't be done with syndromes.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Eh...so would killing them and bringing them back in the same interaction work?

[Gaybarowner]

I have a question about the RETRACT_INTO_BP tag

 How does it actual work on creatures is it used when threatened or when they are injured? or does it not work?
Also wanted to add about hight

my understanding to how its measured is a bit dim anyone care to shed some light read the wiki slightly confused thank you

Test the armadillo to see, in my experiences with them, they seem to do it when threatened.

Hm. How would I go about making a HIDE interaction that exudes smoke and actually HIDES the user.

Yes, I know it's been asked before. I just don't have the time or patience to trawl through this behemoth of a thread to find it.

[evictedSaint]

If I create a custom weapon and a custom metal, can I set that weapon to be made of ONLY that metal somehow?

I would imagine creating a substance with a syndrome that reacts only when inhaled would do the trick.  Give it a low time limit and have it increase their sneak roll's an insane amount.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

I've done the substance and I ripped the interaction off the octopi, minus water as a required location, but you can't boost a single roll. If you boost skill rolls, you boost all of them.

[Stirk]

If I create a custom weapon and a custom metal, can I set that weapon to be made of ONLY that metal somehow?

Well no, it can still be made of any metal that can make weapons. But if you don't have it in the entity files, and only have the reaction, then it will only be made out of that kind of metal, but your civilization won't make it. You will only be able to make it in fortress mode.

That is perfect, thanks.

LET'S saaaaaaaay...the civ has the reaction, but not access to the metal.  For all intents and purposes, the item can't be made normally; could it still be made via strange moods? 

I ask this because of Putnam's mod with magic'd items with syndromes and whatnot.  I always wanted strange moods to make magic'd stuff.

For some intents and purposes. They will make them, but they have to have a preference for the weapon, which makes it rare.

[Putnam]

My script requires the material, not the item, to have a syndrome attached. I don't think artifacts would work with it, unfortunately, though I would definitely like them to.

There's one in Dwarf Chocolate & Masterwork.
