Undead bone?
« on: June 05, 2012, 01:22:21 pm »

Are bones supposed to be able to resurrect? I just had one awaken as my craftdwarf was carving it. it killed him, somehow...

I thought only things with [grasp] could rise from the dead.. I guess this was a crundle hand before, but shouldnt being butchered (and turned into a bone) remove the [grasp] tag?

sorry if this has already been answered, i did some searches but turned up nothing (and im lazy :()

EDIT: actually it has a several parts of its body still attached, some of which are disjoint - both upper arms, left lower arm and hand, both legs and feet plus its tail. but no upper or lower body...

so a) why is it called crundle bone if it is actually a partial skeleton
and b) shouldnt each leg and arm animate independently if they're disjoint?

The bones from a crundle hand are a body part, with the grasp tag, that happen to be made out of bone.
For some reason, humanoid bone does not include the torso or head. The head makes sense, as the skull is a separate bone, but the torso is a bug. Just imagine the reanimated bones as a skeleton and be done with it.
