Sure. [IT_CANNOT_HAVE_SYNDROME_CLASS:SILENCED], used in the interaction.

But that only checks the target(s). If its an attack interaction it doesn't matter what the casters syndromes are, only the targets.

[Meph]

Then make the attack interaction like this:

Have interaction that targets self_only. This interaction has IT_CANNOT_HAVE_SYN_CLASS:SILENCE, and the interaction give CE_CAN_DO_INTERACTION:the attack interaction.

This way a silenced dwarf cant give himself the interaction to attack.

Sounds like what I'm doing. By the way, my dwarves seem to have a reluctance to use the interaction (arena) even after using dfhack to force the itemsyndrome (it works). Should I change any of to it.. say.. creature action or something?

Hmm, was hoping there was a more elegant solution. Thanks though

[Meph]

That was the only thing I could think of.

I'm sorry guys, trying to figure out modding for the first time since I have jack all else I can really do right now DF wise except learn the academics of it.

I understand that if you use a syndrome to cause a creature to flash with a status symbol (I think using CE_FLASH_TILE? But it might be a DFhack thing given the context of where I learned it), then even if you remove the syndrome, the creature won't stop flashing?

What about interactions? If I, for example, create a disease that causes a dwarf to emit water vapor around himself using the UNDIRECTED_VAPOR breath attack type and MATERIAL_EMISSION interaction (I think I got that right), can I later 'cure' him of the syndrome and he'll LOSE that interaction? Or will he have it even after he's lost the Syndrome with the CE_CAN_DO_INTERACTION token?

I want to create a situation where a creature can be made to emit a gas or vapor in a big obvious way when I want it too... and maybe to spread the syndrome at the same time using the function. I dunno.

There is no easy way to remove a syndrome, however most effects can be temporary. If you want your creature to blink until one effect is applied, perhaps using a short lived CA_FLASH_TILE will overwrite the effect.

The interaction can be made temporary by adding :START:0:END:<number> to the CAN_DO_INTERACTION token.

You can make the cure have a syndrome class and have the illness check  if the dwarf did not receive it first (see 2 post above).

Hey guys

I remember seeing a while back that you could embark with more than 7 dwarves using a command in dfhack, but I can't for the life of me remember.  Additionally, there was some command that let you change/surpass the embark point levels, too.  I checked the 'ls' and searched the forum, but I can't find either one.  Does anyone remember what the command(s) were?

[Putnam]

It's a separate script called "startdwarf.rb". You may want to check in the actual utilities board.

[Meph]

dwarves.rb - type "dwarves #"

Code: [Select]

# patch start dwarf count

nr = $script_args[0].to_i

raise 'too low' if nr < 7

addr = df.get_global_address('start_dwarf_count')
df.memory_patch(addr, [nr].pack('L'))

points.lua - type "points #"

Code: [Select]

df.global.world.worldgen.worldgen_parms.embark_points=tonumber(...)
Both must be done on the embark map, before pressing 'E'

[evictedSaint]

Thank you!

I've got something I want to do for my norse mod, but it involves interactions, something I've not yet experimented with other than curses. Is it possible to make a creature that will ,preferably when wild though as a pet is also fine, use interactions to clean up messes like spilled blood and extracts?

[Knight Otu]

But... it doesnt work. 

In cases like that, remember that we do have a bug tracker.    This particular bug appears to have been reported.

[Meph]

Thanks Knight Otu, that does explain it. Guess the 1,5 hours for the graphics, and the 1,5 hours for trying to make it work were rather a waste of time. ^^

Hey, but when it gets fixed, you're ready to go! 

[4maskwolf]

Okay, dumb question, but what is the size of an extract in a vial?
