What settings should I put for a custom material so that it'll both evaporate immediately and also reach a high temperature capable of causing burn damage? Trying to simulate a creature bursting into flames.

I created a steam burst that was hot enough to cause significant heat damage from the gas. I had to set the temperature at something like 40-50k to do its in the short period of time that the gas was around.

I would try maybe creating a liquid glob attack that boils at the temperature that it is created at. It won't *actually* boil until it has made contact with it's target, and if you set the initial temperature high enough it might insta-ignite the creature. Should be awfully damaging regardless.

You're not very informative. How have you attempted to correct the issue below?

Your attack requires a BP with category STINGER_INSECT.
Your BP has category STINGER.
Yes. That's what I did.
Code: [Select]
[BODY:STINGER_INSECT]
[BP:STING_SECT:stinger][CONTYPE:LOWERBODY][CATEGORY:STINGER_INSECT]
        [DEFAULT_RESIZE:50]
Code: [Select]
[ATTACK:STING:BODYPART:BY_CATEGORY:STINGER_INSECT]

Does anyone know how much population a site needs in order to be a town?
I'd like to make races start with bigger population sizes so that hamlet/town civs are guaranteed to have atleast one town starting in worldgen.

I have a syndrome attached to pools of hobbit water which pretty much works as intended.

Code: [Select]
[SYN_NAME:curse of the deep]
           [SYN_CONTACT]
           [SYN_AFFECTED_CREATURE:MINOTAUR:ALL]
           [CE_ADD_TAG:CRAZED:PROB:100:START:10:END:1000:DWF_STRETCH:4]
           [CE_VOMIT_BLOOD:SEV:1000:PROB:100:ABRUPT:START:10:END:100:DWF_STRETCH:4]
           [CE_FEEL_EMOTION:EMOTION:ANGUISH:SEV:500:PROB:100:ABRUPT:START:10:PEAK:50:END:1200:DWF_STRETCH:4]
Except for the Add_Tag:Crazed, which doesn't seem to do anything in arena mode.
Am I using it wrong , does it not work, or does it just not work in arena (arena 'sides' are overriding the effects of crazed or something)?

You can't make map sites currently (you can edit the arena though), but the 'site types' are interchangeable, for instance you can swap the site type of any race, though this will not have a immediate effect on fortress mode it will affect how well you can navigate around in adventure mode.

  • Partially it could be described as the maps being very complicated and laborious because there isn't map making tools, instead everything is etched out in ascii symbols relevant to architecture.
Town's are the most generic sites, Dark towers attract demon-masters and are evil dwellings, Forest sites are in the wilderness, and Cave_Detailed are dwarven sites.

Actual caves are world-generated features that races squat within, like kobolds.

So it looks like it should work in-game?

How would I go about making a creature deliberately be unable to move and suffocate immediately on spawning?

I've had modding mishaps where by accident the creature would be unable to move, hold anything or breathe for whatever reason - but now that I want use that deliberately I seem unable to have it happen.

EDIT: Nvm, found out how after some more tries - they need to have lungs but no brain.

You're trying to color its skin-like tissue layers of "shadow", not ectoplasm. Your eye color definition is also missing the latter half of the target, normie critters have EYE:EYE. I dunno what your ghost's eyes are made of, probably EYE:ECTOPLASM.

Thanks, that's exactly what it was, my errorlog is now clean!

Only problem is I just tested the ghost in the arena and... well, the idea is for it to be basically incorporeal, incapable of attacking or being attacked (specifically the latter). But that doesn't seem to be the case at all. It seems perfectly interactable and corporeal, and is in fact pretty frail. Is there any way to make something that basically cannot attack or be attacked?

Not really. If you dont define materials properly for it, then of course it will have no materials, but that might also make the game unstable.

Any material has to have material properties, and im pretty sure the game has some default values it uses if you just dont define them. You could maybe make it low density (so they dont do much damage when hitting something, unaffected by temperature, and tougher than average, but it will still have those properties and be corporeal.

Ive been trying to invent a good incorporeal tissue myself because i have critters that are supposed to be like that in my spellcrafts mod, and its not easy to get right.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

Make it's tissues, with a variable of LAYER, change the variable to FEATHER. Sorry for the awkward phrasing, forget what token the variable is under.
Making it unable to attack is impossible, but you can weaken it's attack by making the ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC huge, and making a tiny attack velocity, perhaps with ATTACK_VELOCITY_PERC, but I' not sure that's the variable.
