Multi square entities
« on: February 27, 2012, 12:40:13 am »
I was just wondering if it is possible to mod larger creatures and entities to take up more than one square. I think it would make a lot more sense this way and make it easier to get a sense of scale. Like a dragon would take up 4x4 or something. Been reading the forums for a while and I have never seen this brought up, I assume theres a reason.

Hardcoded as of yet, only multi tile beast is a wagon, and it's not really a beast.

Yeah, I did some science on that. EEven if you make a creature with BODY:WAGON it will be a one-tile creature. If you add the wagon tag back that gives it multiple tiles, it loses its creature class. I had pet-wagons to buy, one tile-creatures, OR real wagons, cant buy them, multiple tiles.

Wanted to do wagons with interactions as siege engines for invaders.. did not work.

Made of wagonmeat... which is possibly the best raw duplication random result ever.
