I have recently (last hour) been scouring the wiki's modding page and the raws to learn how to mod Dwarf Fortress.
I decided I would try and make a drill weapon, but I'm having trouble with reactions, as the wiki is confusing.
Here are the raws for my reaction. According to the wiki, I can't make it in the mechanic's workshop, and I would also like to have a mechanism be a reagant, and the metal bar type not matter. Any help is much appreciated.

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:ASSEMBLE_DRILL]
[NAME:Assemble a drill]
[BUILDING:CRAFTSMAN:CUSTOM_SHIFT_D]
[REAGENT:A:1:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:IRON]
*also want a mechanism*
        [PRODUCT:100:1:WEAPON:DRILL:IRON:NONE][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]
[SKILL:MECHANIC]

Also, here are the weapon raws if you're interested:

Code: [Select]

[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_DRILL]
[NAME:drill:drills]
[SIZE:100]
[SKILL:SPEAR]
[TWO_HANDED:27500]
[MINIMUM_SIZE:22500]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:2]
[ATTACK:EDGE:3:20:drill:drills:NO_SUB:2000]

I don't really have any idea what I'm doing, I just duped and edited the whip. 
Cheers

I believe
   [PRODUCT:100:4:TRAPPARTS:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:IRON]
would be what you want. Edit the reaction except for TRAPPARTS as desired.

[REACTION:ASSEMBLE_DRILL]
   [NAME:Assemble a drill]
   [BUILDING:CRAFTSMAN:CUSTOM_SHIFT_D]
   [REAGENT:A:150:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:NONE]
   [REAGENT:B:1:TRAPPARTS:NONE:INORGANIC:NONE]
        [PRODUCT:100:1:WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_DRILL:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:NONE][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]
   [SKILL:MECHANICS]

* A single bar is 150 units of material
* METAL:NONE makes it accept any metal, original required iron
You can learn about the structure of reagent tokens here
http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Reactions#Reagents
* Mechanisms are TRAPPARTS
http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Item_token
* Name of the product must be ITEM_WEAPON_DRILL because that's what you called it in the other file
* GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT makes the product out of the same materials used
* Removed that extra token, would have given you 150 drills per reaction (actually might have given you 150^2, since your reagent was also off by a factor   )
Learn more about product tokens here
http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Reactions#Products
* Name of the skill is mechanics with an "S"
http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Skill_token

Hope this helps.

Oh derp. I copy-pasted the wrong token. >.<

[Joben]

I'm no expert, but I don't think PRODUCT_DIMENSION is required when you're making a weapon. I think it only applies to bars, drinks, cloth etc.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

It isn't used in weapon reactions.

[gourd]

Thanks for the help, guys!

* METAL:NONE makes it accept any metal, original required iron

Not true--it makes it accept any inorganic material, rocks included. METAL is just an alias for INORGANIC.

[smakemupagus]

Good point, thanks, I've made that mistake more than once.  Is there any way to make it accept only metals?

[GreatWyrmGold]

Don't make stone bars?

[Putnam]

Add a reaction class to the metal template and use that in reactions that require it.

(Note, however, that bars can only be metal anyway, so it doesn't matter in vanilla)

[smakemupagus]

Don't make stone bars?

Oh, OK, that's why it hasn't actually been a problem most of the time ^^

I would suggest using the minining skill, and setting it to weapon digger so you can dig with it.
ROW ROW, FIGHT THE POWAH!

Just setting the skill to mining works for that.

...No. It needs the DIGGER token in the entity to dig with, I'm pretty sure.
