If the wiki doesn't say you can do it, you pretty much can't do it.

You can't do that.

[BlackFlyme]

Is there any way to make a creature gain skills without limiting whether they can be butchered or not? I'd like to have one of my creatures be able to actually learn things, but I also want them to be able to be butchered. Thanks in advance!

Butchering is a no. Anything that [CAN_LEARN], [CAN_SPEAK], or is [INTELLIGENT] cannot be butchered if the ethics don't allow it.

In some circumstances, you can slaughter a living, tame creature capable of learning, but not one that can speak. Speaking creatures are treated more like civilians than pets.

Is it possible to make a interaction that causes animals to follow you?

The only way I know of is animating their corpse like a necromancer.

When specifying a that an attack will use the tail, what category/type is it? I can't find this on the wiki.

You can check body_default.txt to take a look at the various body parts.

Tails are probably BY_CATEGORY:TAIL

[deepfreeze78]

Okay, I'm probably doing this completely wrong, I kinda just winged it, does anyone know why this isn't working? It won't show up as an attack in the arena.

[Putnam]

CHILD_TISSUE_LAYER_GROUP is for teeth and other such tissues. You want to replace that with BP.

[deepfreeze78]

Alright thanks! By the way, it's BODYPART, not BP.

Also, how would I make that attack a bit stronger? Compared to the attacks the creature already has, that ones pretty dang weak. Here's the current raws of the creature:

ATTACK_VELOCITY_MODIFIER

[deepfreeze78]

One last question, sorry, but will any mods affect old saves in any way if they're just in the main raws, not in the save raws? I'm in line for a succession game and don't want to mess it up at all but also want to keep my mod in the folder for future saves. From what I understand when you create a new save it just copies over the raws from the main one into the save once and never again, but I'm not positive.

[Putnam]

No.

[4maskwolf]

The wiki isn't being kind to my mod as I wrap up the last few loose ends before formal initial release, can someone explain the format of [CE_BODY_MAT_INTERACTION]

[Putnam]

RESERVED_BLOOD can be replaced with LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:X. That's pretty much it that the wiki doesn't cover.

[Spehss _]

Would changing [CHILD:12] to another number, like [CHILD:6] break a save or require a world regen?

[Putnam]

No.

[deepfreeze78]

No.

What would happen to the creatures that are 10? Would they grow up immediately, or never grow up?
