Didn't we already establish that this method only creates friendly creatures, not fort members?

Neither Him or I mentioned anything about fortress members, he just wanted to summon a creature, and I gave him some suggestions on how to make them hostile.

Is there a way to restrict reactions or similar to certain castes or nobility positions? Is there a way to stop certain dwarves from performing the reaction? Its something I want restricted to my untrained magic class to change their magic class.

[Putnam]

No.

No.

Only way to do that is to micro manage the crap out of your fortress by using workshop permissions (assigning a shop to certain dwarves)

Is there a way to restrict noble positions to certain castes? And more, is there a way to make castes inheritable?

Use [ALLOWED_CREATURE:yourCreatureHere:yourCasteHere] in the position definition to restrict positions to castes. And no, castes aren't inheritable.

Is there a way to make a creature breath a cloud of something that isn't fire? This doesn't work:

[CAN_DO_INTERACTION:MATERIAL_EMISSION]
   [CDI:ADV_NAME:Shoot lightning]
   [CDI:USAGE_HINT:ATTACK]
   [CDI:BP_REQUIRED:BY_CATEGORY:HAND]
   [CDI:FLOW:LIGHTNING]
   [CDI:TARGET:C:LINE_OF_SIGHT]
   [CDI:TARGET_RANGE:C:5]
   [CDI:MAX_TARGET_NUMBER:C:1]
   [CDI:WAIT_PERIOD:15]

And yes, I do have a working version of lightning. The creature bleeds lightning.

[MagmaMcFry]

Replace [CDI:FLOW:LIGHTNING] with [CDI:MATERIAL:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:LIGHTNING:LIQUID_GLOB].

[TheFlame52]

Replace [CDI:FLOW:LIGHTNING] with [CDI:MATERIAL:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:LIGHTNING:LIQUID_GLOB].

Ok, I tried that and it just made me spit a glob of molten superhuman n/a, which quickly solidified into a glob of superhuman silk. I wanted a cloud of lightning.

[MagmaMcFry]

In that case, your lightning material isn't called LIGHTNING. Replace LIGHTNING with the name of that material. I assumed that your lightning was liquid, but if LIQUID_GLOB does not suit your needs, you can pick another from http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Syndrome#Breath_Attack_Types.

[Brilliand]

For a cloud, wouldn't you want a TRAILING_GAS_FLOW instead of a LIQUID_GLOB?

[Putnam]

It was made pretty explicit that he wanted WEB.

[Brilliand]

It was made pretty explicit that he wanted WEB.

Where was that made explicit?

[Putnam]

Well, the silk threw me off, for one. Also, a cloud would work perfectly with web by having it evaporate at very cold temperatures.

You can make chain-lighting a solid-glob that gives the interaction to the hit target to target any 2 non-already-affected targets within range. Hitting a single unit would only hurt it, but hitting a single unit within a big army would lead to the solid-glob being respawned till it hits all units in range.
