Similarly to Valikdu, I was wondering if there was a way to make an entity prefer a particular metal over others.
Would like civs that, say, have the ability to work copper, but don't give it to their soldiers when they also have steel available.

[Valikdu]

@Hugo_The_Dwarf

Thanks. I've made the changes, will do more testing.

[Magnusen]

Got more questions:

1.I want to make civ that don't spawn (build sites,make wars,etc) and that can only by played as a outsider in adventure mode.How to do that?

2.What the FORCED tag on entity raws do? Does it forces the civ to always use it,always have it or makes the civ members to be born with it that equipment attached to them?

1) Don't give them any start biomes or populations or anything like that. All you need is the entity ID, the token that allows outsider adventurers, and the creatures that belong to the entity. For example:

Code: [Select]

[ENTITY:MEGABEAST]
[INDIV_CONTROLLABLE]
[CREATURE:DRAGON]
[CREATURE:HYDRA]
[CREATURE:BIRD_ROC]
[CREATURE:COLOSSUS_BRONZE]

2) FORCED is a rarity modifier for clothing and armour that means that it will always be used.

@BlackFlyme Thanks that worked

The iceball is supposed to hit the target causing some bruising and inflict freeze damage,eventually killing the creature because of the cold.
The acid would burn the contact area eventually melting and killing the creature if it takes enough.
The lightning bolt is to to burn the target,paralyzing it and having a chance to stop the hearth,thus killing the creature.

Any help would be appreciated.

[Putnam]

1. Iceball and acid won't stick because globs don't stick; you want vapor for that.

2. First, you want "heart", not "hearth". Second, the heart has no (working) function, meaning that disabling it won't do anything anyway.

[WillowLuman]

Indeed, for your intended effect, paralyzing the lungs would be better.

Extreme facepalm felt here didn't noticed that H lol.

@HugoLuman replaced the heart for lungs.It's not so realistic but it kills anyway

Also added a  [BOILING_POINT:10072] (40°C) for the iceball and a [MELTING_POINT:NONE] and [BOILING_POINT:NONE]    to the lightning bolt and acid,so they don't turn into gas because of the fixed temperature.

[WillowLuman]

Well, asphyxiation and blood loss ultimately kill you the same way, through lack of important stuff getting to cells.

[Magnusen]

The bolt was supposed to cause a electric shock that have a probability to stop the heart but nobody going to look at the log to see if the heart has stopped or not so the lungs will do.

[WillowLuman]

In either case, they die without having to be maimed or such.

[Sergarr]

Is there a way to create a pushback-type of attack/intercation which will send the opponent flying in the air? With DFHack?

[noahmcbadass]

Can anyone help me with the creation of an interaction that causes boiling scales to shoot from the user's eyes in a line toward the target?

[BlackFlyme]

Can anyone help me with the creation of an interaction that causes boiling scales to shoot from the user's eyes in a line toward the target?

Something like this, maybe? This uses the material emission interaction, which is already in the game. You just need to add the code below to enable your creature to do it.

Code: [Select]

[CAN_DO_INTERACTION:MATERIAL_EMISSION]
[CDI:ADV_NAME:Shoot scales]
[CDI:USAGE_HINT:ATTACK]
[CDI:BP_REQUIRED:BY_CATEGORY:EYE]
[CDI:MATERIAL:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:SCALE:LIQUID_GLOB]
[CDI:VERB:spit a glob of boiling scales:spits a glob of boiling scales:NA]

Thank you. I already knew of the material emission tag, but I had little idea of how it worked. This should do swimmingly.
