Hi,


I was trying to mod the bronze colossus(which I have already modded in to adventure mode) so that it has a "chop" attack which deals damage like a sword or axe.

How would I go about doing this?

Copy the punch, give it an edge.

IIRC you can use something like [FORCE_EDGE] like a biting attack. I *think* lowering the contact area also makes it more stabby.

I'm still not too handy with the raws, but would this work:

   [ATTACK:PUNCH:BODYPART:BY_TYPE:GRASP]
      [ATTACK_SKILL:GRASP_STRIKE]
      [ATTACK_VERB:punch:punches]
      [ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC:100]
      [ATTACK:EDGE:40000:6000:chop:chops:NO_SUB:1250]
      [ATTACK_FLAG_WITH]
      [ATTACK_PRIORITY:MAIN]

From what I've seen in the arena, CHOP currently seems like a very ineffectual punch.

It can only bruise the fat or glance away.

EDIT: I've been able to get it to fracture bones, but it still doesn't actually cut.

The hands of a bronze colossus aren't actually sharp. You can't really cut stuff with a flat surface the size of a medium-sized car.

Is there a way that I can modify them(or one of them) so that they are sharp?

You mixed weapon raws and creature raws. The following should do the trick.
   [ATTACK:PUNCH:BODYPART:BY_TYPE:GRASP]
      [ATTACK_SKILL:GRASP_STRIKE]
      [ATTACK_VERB:chop:chops]
      [ATTACK_PENETRATION_PERC:100]
      [ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC:100]
      [ATTACK_FLAG_WITH]
      [ATTACK_PRIORITY:MAIN]
      [ATTACK_FLAG_EDGE]

      [ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC:100]
      [ATTACK_FLAG_WITH]
      [ATTACK_PRIORITY:MAIN]
      [ATTACK_FLAG_EDGE]

Thanks! That works very well.

What exactly do CONTACT_PERC and PENETRATION_PERC control?

[Knight Otu]

According to the wiki it's not quite clear, but contact perc should be how much of the body part makes contact, and Penetration perc should be how deep the body part cuts into the target.

I shudder at the thought of of a Bronze Colossus with sharpened hands.

I shudder at the thought of of a Bronze Colossus with sharpened hands.

One shudders to imagine what inhuman thoughts lie behind that bronze. What dreams of chronic and sustained cruelty...

Why, one doesn't have to imagine at all!

In a related question, would there be a way to give myself a different punch with greatly increased force?
