Does anyone know why this custom entity/creature and the creature shows up in arena but the entity is nowhere to be seen.


Creature raws:

Entity raws:

and yes i realize having them use a fireball along with them living in a forest is not a good idea.

Going out on a limb...you should know I'm very new to this but...

Maybe it's because you capitalized NYMPH in entity but didn't capitalize it in creature.

Exodus is right you need to capitalize nymph in the creature file, also you are missing all of the biome tags

Copy bronze colossus and edit as you please. The TISSUE and TISSUE_LAYER parts are the most important

I don't know why they won't work, but they can't be nobles because there are no noble positions defined within their entity.

Like a bronze colossus?

Just give them one tissue, and have it apply to the entire body. For example, here is how the colossi are only made of bronze:
Code: [Select]
[TISSUE:BRONZE]
[TISSUE_NAME:bronze:bronze]
[TISSUE_MATERIAL:INORGANIC:BRONZE]
[MUSCULAR]
[FUNCTIONAL]
[STRUCTURAL]
[RELATIVE_THICKNESS:1]
[CONNECTS]
[TISSUE_SHAPE:LAYER]
[TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:BRONZE]

I don't think it is possible. But you can just test entities separately, to make sure all of them work.

Can multiple entities use the same creature? I'm interested in having high men like in Age of Wonders, the same as humans, but chaotic good with better equipment, and always ready to kill everyone else.

So, I successfully made a creature which successfully creates civilizations and whatnot.

One problem, when I'm adventuring as one and I try to wrestle something, I cannot use my hands or any part of my arms.
How do I fix this?
I am curious as well, I've had this intermittently, but there was something that I was fiddling with that made certain versions not have the problem while others do, and even weirder is that I can wrestle if I'm holding a weapon even if unarmed it offers no wrestling options at all.

Same, I could wrestle with a weapon. I tgink it may have something to do with the EQUIPS tag.

Define them within the entity. Look at other existing entities for examples.

For example, a dwarven mayor position looks something like this:
Code: [Select]
[POSITION:MAYOR]
[NAME:mayor:mayors]
[SITE]
[NUMBER:1]
[RESPONSIBILITY:MEET_WORKERS]
[RESPONSIBILITY:RECEIVE_DIPLOMATS]
[RESPONSIBILITY:MILITARY_GOALS]
[REQUIRES_POPULATION:50]
[RULES_FROM_LOCATION]
[ELECTED]
[PRECEDENCE:60]
[FLASHES]
[BRAG_ON_KILL]
[CHAT_WORTHY]
[DO_NOT_CULL]
[KILL_QUEST]
[COLOR:5:0:0]
[ACCOUNT_EXEMPT]
[DUTY_BOUND]
[DEMAND_MAX:2]
[MANDATE_MAX:1]
[REQUIRED_BOXES:2]
[REQUIRED_CABINETS:1]
[REQUIRED_RACKS:1]
[REQUIRED_STANDS:1]
[REQUIRED_OFFICE:500]
[REQUIRED_BEDROOM:500]
[REQUIRED_DINING:500]

Like BlackFlyme said, look at the raws for the vanilla MOUNTAIN entity for good examples. At a bare minimum, you'll want positions which fill the same roles as: mayor/expedition leader, outpost liaison, bookkeeper, manager, broker, and militia captain.

Also, when adding noble positions to your entity, you'll want  to remove the [SITE_VARIABLE_POSITIONS:ALL] token for sure, and if you define any positon with [RESPONSIBILITY:LAW_MAKING] you need to remove the [VARIABLE POSITIONS:ALL] token or you'll get crashes during worldgen.
