I hope somebody can help me again. I am stuck with nobles. All but two of them do not appear in the ingame list, where i should be able to appoint them. I tried replacing [APPOINTED_BY:] with [ELECTED] with no result. May be someone could tell what can be the reason of that.

There are raw extracts, if they could help.
These two seem to work properly(appear ingame and perform their duties):

CREATURE_EXTRACT => this also covers milk and honey, and other possible non-poison things.

Ha, so it does. The spatter_add reactions use the same reaction class.

[Stealtharcadia]

I haven't modded since 40d, but I had an idea for a new race and I wanted to know if it was possible. I read around and I think it should be possible.

I want to make a creature that spits a glob that on skin contact/injection(?) causes a syndrome that first causes nausea, then pain, then unconsciousness followed by a transformation into a husk type creature whose bite can cause the same syndrome with a lower chance of infection. Is this possible?

[Putnam]

Yes.

Is this possible?

The short answer: Yes, that is possible.

You would need a special inorganic, a material-emission that spits this, dfhack with the ProjectileExpansion script by Putnam (to affect the target) (or use breath-attacks instead of globs, if you use gas to transmit the syndrome you dont need the script/dfhack), the custom creature, and thats about it. The bite you can do with: [SPECIALATTACK_INJECT_EXTRACT:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:POISON:LIQUID:100:100] and adding the syndrome to the creature poison.

[Putnam]

Or you could skip the extract with SPECIALATTACK_INTERACTION...

[Stealtharcadia]

Thanks for the response!

I would just prefer a ranged attack that causes it, but isn't prone to spreading like necrotic forgotten beast goo. Although it would be rather !!FUN!! to lose a fort like that in one incident.

[Putnam]

Gas doesn't congeal.

[Stealtharcadia]

Gas doesn't congeal.

Thanks! Sorry, I have a lot of questions as it's hard for me to quite understand exactly how expansive the new interactions are from the raws and the wiki. And I don't wanna spend a hours working on something not even possible

One last one, what about an interaction that occurs on death, where the corpse drops something that resurrects it?

[Meph]

I think IndigoFenix has done something like that. A creature that resurrects itself, kinda. Its probably some kind of workaround.

[lanp]

I'm trying to create a creature that has a humanoid like body without a head. I'd like the mouth and eye to be attached to the upper body of it. I have it mostly working besides the fact that I can't get it to use the BITE attack. I'll try and include all of the relevant stuff. Maybe I'm missing something very obvious that someone can point out for me.

You want it to be a CHILD_TISSUE_LAYER thing like the normal bite attack.

New question:

To make civ-members use different colors for different castes, I thought all I had to do was:
[CASTE_COLOR:7:1:1] for each caste in the creature file.
[MINER:WARLOCK_CIV:0:4:ADD_COLOR:DEFAULT] for each profession in the graphics file.

Somehow the colors dont change when I transform creatures in between castes. Anything wrong with my line of thought?
