I'm working on a creature that has an "aura", targeting all corpses within range as a free action.  It also slightly hinders the living as well.

I can get the hindering part to work, although it's not used constantly.  I can't get the animating part to work at all though.

I've based the animation part off of what I could find here, although all I could find were questions asking about it, not any answers.  So it's possible I missed something there.

I've tried changing the target of the animation part to B, as seen above.  But still nothing.

I do know that the spell is trying to animate the living.  So maybe I can't make an interaction affect more than one type of target?

Buuut, the interaction requires all targets to be selected, thus, you've made a curse that can only be applied alongside with zombie raising (or requiring corpse nearby if you take out second [I_EFFECT]), which is kinda neat, but if you want those used separated I'd suggest splitting them in two.
Also, I'd suggest using [CDI:USAGE_HINT:ATTACK] and placing[IT_CANNOT_TARGET_IF_ALREADY_AFFECTED] under  [I_TARGET:A:CREATURE] if you want it evenly applied to everyone opposing your creature, since, I believe, MAJOR_CURSE targets only those particularly disliked by caster.

[Drawde]

Thanks, that worked. 

But now I've got a different problem.  What creature token do you use to make a creature undead?

MAJOR_CURSE only works for gods. If you want to slightly limit the amount of corpses raised, make them have to be FIT_FOR_RESURRECTION instead, then arms and heads don't get raised.

[Di]

MAJOR_CURSE only works for gods.

[CDI:USAGE_HINT:MAJOR_CURSE] can be seen in mummy example.

Hm, let me check...

I don't see it, you mean this mummy example?

NOT_LIVING needs to be fixed in the wiki.  By the way it reads, to me it looks like it's meant for non-living creatures like a bronze colossus, so they, or their parts, can't be animated.

[Drawde]

And that didn't work.  My supposedly undead creature was still attacked by the animated undead.  NOT_LIVING did nothing.

If you're testing through the arena it won't work like it does in actual DF. If you're not... well I don't know what to tell you.

[Drawde]

Didn't know that, but it makes sense.  Thanks for the help.

[Trapezohedron]

Arena's teams is more important than the state of the creatures, so you'll have zombies clawing each other for not being on the same team.
