Hello. So, would it be possible to add a reaction to Adventure Mode so my character could animate dead the same way a Necromancer does? How might I go about doing this? If a mod such as this already exists, or you have made one yourself, could you point me in its direction? I'm not interested in modding the entire race to be able to animate, though, just a character in adventure mode using a reaction. Thank you.

[Putnam]

Yes. Make a boiling stone that, when created using a reaction, will give the adventurer all the abilities of a necromancer.

Alternatively, you could read a slab that lets you do it.

What's the syndrome name, or whatever it is I need to add to the rock to give my character the necromancer abilities? I've been looking through my raws, but I'm not finding anything.

[Clover Magic]

You'll have to add it yourself.  Following the wiki for reactions, interactions, and syndromes will help.

Spoiler: Follow these instructions if you don't want to figure it out yourself. :) (click to show/hide)

Make a file called inorganic_necro.txt in your raw/objects folder.  Put this inside:

inorganic_necro

[OBJECT:INORGANIC]

[INORGANIC:NECRO]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:STONE_TEMPLATE]
[MATERIAL_VALUE:1]

   [SYN_INHALED]
   [CE_DISPLAY_NAME:NAME:necromancer:necromancers:necromantic:START:0]

   [CE_CAN_DO_INTERACTION:START:0]
         [CDI:ADV_NAME:Animate corpse]
         [CDI:INTERACTION:RAISE]
         [CDI:TARGET:A:LINE_OF_SIGHT]
         [CDI:TARGET_RANGE:A:10]
         [CDI:VERB:gesture:gestures:NA]
         [CDI:TARGET_VERB:shudder and begin to move:shudders and begins to move]
         [CDI:WAIT_PERIOD:10]

Then make an interaction_necro.txt.  It should contain this:

interaction_necro

[OBJECT:INTERACTION]

[INTERACTION:RAISE]
   [I_TARGET:A:CORPSE]
      [IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_ITEM]

         [CE_REMOVE_TAG:HAS_BLOOD:TRANCES:LIKES_FIGHTING:MISCHIEVOUS:START:0]

Now, finally, make a third called reaction_necro.txt, with this inside:

reaction_necro

[OBJECT:REACTION]

[REACTION:NECRO]
   [NAME:Ponder death]
   [ADVENTURE_MODE_ENABLED]
   [PRODUCT:100:1:BOULDER:NONE:INORGANIC:NECRO]
   [SKILL:CONCENTRATION]

Creating these three files in your raw/objects folder exactly like that should allow adventurers to "Ponder death", which will turn them into a vanilla game-style necromancer.  Currently this is 100% - edit the 100 in the PRODUCT part of the reaction to the percentage you'd want it to happen - 50 or 50% of the time and so on.

[Lucelle]

Many thanks!

[Blakmane]

Did you know that you can actually learn to animate corpses in the vanilla game? Make sure you have at least one point in reading, find a slab (found in necromancers towers) and read it. Voila!

[TastyMints]

Not always slabs. Often books.

[Quietust]

There's a much easier (and safer) method of doing that in Adventurer mode than creating a boiling stone and inhaling its vapor - just set the syndrome to SYN_INGESTED, create a food item made of the material (ideally a CHEESE) and eat it.

[random_odd_guy]

ive done this already actually. it went very badly when my invincible allies kept reviving everything i killed...my zombie army got WAY too big...laaaaaaaag attack

[TechnoScrabble]

Also the stone doesn't work, so...

Gonna try the cheese.

[TechnoScrabble]

Er....what would the raws for a bit of cheese be?

[Putnam]

Cheese is an item type made of a material, you don't actually need to define the material as cheese. Just make the mat and have the item be CHEESE:NONE

[TechnoScrabble]

I don't think I understood what you mean properly because it's not working in object testing arena...

Where is this SUPER_CURSE interaction?

[TechnoScrabble]

That is in reaction_standard, it's from another mod I'm trying to help test, sorry.

It didn't work with standard necromancy, either, though.
