Is it possible to have the game assign a variation of a race's name, based on the Entity they are under? For example, if I added goblins as an available race for the PLAINS entity, can I have the game call those specific goblins "Hobgoblins", and have the goblins living under the EVIL entity remain as "Goblins"?

[Eric Blank]

I don't think so no. Can't think of anything that would work, anyway.

[High tyrol]

If you have to maybe you could copy the goblin creature and rename the copy to hobgoblin?

What if entity X had a spell/syndrome that transformed from goblin creature to hobgoblin different hair color creature,
would worldgen use the creature transformation, I guess it would not.

1. Is it possible to change the body over age? say, let the catterpillar grow into a butterfly?

2. can I do something with gelding and bodyparts? I know I can set it to the lowerbody,. but can i attach some sort of effect to it? like chane their personallity, or really let them loose some bodypart after beeing gelded?

3. can I somehow let interactions or syndromes change the body? so a syndrome for growing wings, or an interaction which removes a bodypart?

4. can I attach syndromes to some diet? Let say, my animals behave differently, when given some kind of food? I guess I already know this one: by ingested-syndrome-things. well, no need to answer this question. Or maybe you have some tips for me.

5. can I attach some effect to being milked, or being sheared?

I want to see if i can manage my domesticated animals on more ways, to influence their behaviour

1, 2, 3. Nope.

4. It would mostly just be ingested syndromes causing personality changes, yes. Higher bravery would make them more likely to stay and fight instead of run, or less anxiety and stress vulnerability would probably make them less likely to collapse in terror during combat.

5. Also nope.

Most of these functions are hardcoded so cant edit much on that front. Maybe dfhack could do something atleast on the milking/shearing front but it's not my area so I don't know how feasible it is.

You probably can accomplish 1 & 3, actually.

For 1, you could probably add an secretion of substance that has a non-stacking syndrome which affects only that creature, that has a delayed body transformation effect, to another caste of the same creature (with pop ratio 0 or nigh 0 to prevent creatures being born that way). That way the body transformation happens a certain amount of time after birth. There's probably also other ways that you could add a syndrome from birth.

You can definitely do 3, you just have to have another caste with pop ratio 0 with the added wings or removed body part, and use the syndrome to transform to that.

Note that body transformations heal the creature completely.

For 3, syndromes can also change the relative size of bodyparts. For 5, you could apply a syndrome that only takes affect when the MILK_COUNTER counter trigger is above a given value, i.e. only for a while after being milked.

I have idea about 5. I add second gender castes to monogendered humanoids, who looks like fully different creatures (sylfide for satyr, horror for harpy and black widow for blendec). Black widow is dwarf-sized spider-woman with web attack and dangerous venom. They rare and may be trained like gremlins, their venom are usable in alchemy, but currently unobtainable due to ability to learn prevent creatures for being milked. How code them to become dumb temporary when they may give venom and come back after venom-milking?

[TomiTapio]

Creature's own tears give it a Boost Syndrome? Or sweat slowly accumulates War Rage Syndrome?

[Iä! RIAKTOR!]

How add non-existent orchads? They may be traded and are assigned to subterranean trees, but not grow on tree in both game modes.

I was under the impression that in the current version there is no way to make a creature automatically use an interaction but the wiki says if there is no USAGE_HINT "the interaction will be used whenever a valid target is available". Which is true?
If I make an interaction that only targets itself (i.e. TARGET:X:SELF_ONLY) and leave off the usage hint will that creature use it automatically?

And what kind of interaction are you trying to do?

You see, if it's some sort of attack, ATTACK usage hint does just fine. Now in 47 there is new usage hint DEFEND, for combat interactions that target the user (for AI, in older versions there was no way to do that, bless you Toady), GREETING when approaching friendly creature...

You need the usage hint for AI to use the interaction. That's exactly what that token's for, for AI, player can use the interaction at will, but not your foes. So go check the available usage hints at wiki and pick one that suits your interaction at most, I guess.

I've read somewere on this forum, that the lack of a usage-hint is only used, when in combat. I haven't tested is out, but to my knowledge, the GREETING is best used in a non -combat situation for interactions.
