Here's another regional interaction I've made, this time for good regions.

Spoiler: Interaction (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: The material (click to show/hide)

EDIT: Just expanded the material a bit.  From some good regions you can see enchanted clouds drift by.  They can do anything from make you dizzy, nod off, or give you amazing healing powers.

Please tell me where to put these can_do_interactions and other code. I'm noob =_=  :(

You need [INTERACTION: ? ? ? ]s in the interaction_default.txt folder. Once a type of interaction is specified, you somehow have to get the [CDI:XXX] onto the creature you want to do it. This can be done with a syndrome, a secret like the necromancy example or placed directly into the creature files - look at dragons or cats for an example of a creature that naturally does an interaction.

But if I want to do it for me? What can I do then?

You mean learn to do it for yourself? Your writing isn't very clear...

Also, I wonder if Emperor Jon will ever update the OP with some of the new content we've made...

Comrade Shook brings goop mines!!

Spoiler: materials (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: interactions (click to show/hide)

The interactions place a pile of goop where you want it, which will go POOF when people step on it. The unknown goop kind of needs more possible effects, but it works fine for suicide if you swing that way. Drink it in a fight to ensure maximum death, because you'll be unconscious for 100 TU, and horribly debilitated for another 100. Or you could wait really long and have the fatal effects kick in at the 500 TU mark. Oh, and you're not immune, so keep your distance from the poof.
Yes, finally! have been waiting for this since you posted it on the adventure thread :D

Sorry, but i use Google Translate from Russian into English...

Ok. Well, I can do this for any creature, but not for me now?

Well you need to open another window or tab in your browser for the original untranslated page.  Then move to the section of code you need and copy it from there to a file named interaction_something.txt.  The parser for the game only recognizes ascii text, and I'm certain google uses unicode for cyrillic characters.

Only problem is I think google will screw up my instructions to read as something different.

EDIT:
Confirmed even though it finds a suitable replacement for tab it treats scroll as a noun.(as in a scroll you read)  I've looked it up on synonym.com and it doesn't have what I need.  Does anyone know of a synonym for the computer jargon "scroll" that I could use?


EDIT:
changed scroll to move.

-snip- I'm an idiot!

I've set up the vanilla civilized races to naturally have werewolves, elemental mages and priests among the populace, which are non-transferable at the moment because they're genetic. Now, I'm moving on to druids and shamans. Druids will be concerned primarily with transformations into and effects on natural creatures, and favored by elves. Shamans will possess abilities to curse or bless individuals and raise minor zombies.

Does anybody have a good name for the creatures druids can transform into? They're copied wolves, black bears, eagles, and lizards, with humanoid bodies (except the eagle.)
I can't come up with anything better than wolfkin or wolf-man, or maybe wolfen and wolven for plural. Not the best, but I can't come up with better...

Triskelli has come up with a method to change overall body size for creatures without using a body transformation.

This line:

Code: [Select]
[CE_BODY_APPEARANCE_MODIFIER:START:0:APPEARANCE_MODIFIER:HEIGHT:999]

Will increase size immensely. A number lower than 100 should decrease size. You can also do it with broadness, length, or what have you.

You could call them -x- spirit, where -x- is the name of the creature. In the description say it is the spirit of -x- twisted into human form/ granted human form. This woul give the impression that your druids channel the spirits of animals/natural forces... which is what i think druids where said to do. Unfortunately I only have Warhammer Brown Wizards and D&D druids for reference in how druidism works in fantasy.

That's great, actually.
And the beauty of fantasy is that we can all say "I punch your reality in the face and substitute my own!" and nobody can legitimately complain.

Thusly did my druids channel the spirits of nature through their bodies. :D


However, I've run into a pretty serious problem with another caste;

The priests/defense mages. When used by NPCs, they just spam the recuperation buff, nothing else, 24/7, whether there are others in the room or not, and I can't get them to stop! They're intended to use their spells on friendlies within LOS, or themselves ONLY when fleeing from combat.

The interaction and creature raws I'm using currently;

Spoiler: interaction (click to show/hide)


Ideas to solve this? Should I just increase the spells' durations? Waiting time would be an issue in adventure mode when you're trying to buff your entire band. Is there some way I can force them to use the spells as intended/use more than just that one spell?

Separate the self targeting buffs from the friend-targeting buffs, and don't allow them to target_self with the friend-targeting buffs. 

I'm also having an interaction problem.  I'm trying to inflict a deadly paralysis effect with an interaction, but although the syndrome is being given, the targets aren't being paralyzed.  Can anyone see anything wrong with this interaction/syndrome?

Do some syndrome effects work differently when given by interaction?
