So, I want to make werewolves (the civilization) from Fortress Defense into the same, or very similar thing, as werewolves from Fear The Night. Is it possible to simply give them all a werewolf syndrome at birth or do I have to basically fake it?

[Putnam]

Yes, by giving that race an interaction that gives other memgers of the race the syndrome.

[Deinos]

So how would I make it so werewolves, as in the FD race (included second), automatically have the werewolf curse, as in the FTN mod, included first?

[Putnam]

Make a CREATURE_ACTION interaction that happens to be identical to the curse except for its source (CREATURE_ACTION, natch) and target (werewolves only, cannot target if already affected). Give werewolves the ability to use the interaction.

[Robosaur]

Would this be a thing during world generation, though? Wouldn't there be members of said civilization that don't get the syndrome?

[Putnam]

It wouldn't happen in worldgen, but they would get the syndrome the instant they appear in gameplay.

[Deinos]

Would this be a thing during world generation, though? Wouldn't there be members of said civilization that don't get the syndrome?

I suspect this to be impossible, at least atm.

Make a CREATURE_ACTION interaction that happens to be identical to the curse except for its source (CREATURE_ACTION, natch) and target (werewolves only, cannot target if already affected). Give werewolves the ability to use the interaction.

Cool. But how do I make it so they DECIDE to use the action? Or will not putting a condition to use the action result in them immediately use it?

Can I just add [INTERACTION:WEREWOLF_CURSE_N] to the creature somewhere to simply give them the werewolf curse?

[Putnam]

No. The method that I gave is all that can be done.

[Vattic]

There is another way.

If, for example, you give dwarves the following:

Code: [Select]

[CREATURE_CLASS:SICK_DWARF]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:FLUID:CREATURE_EXTRACT_TEMPLATE]
[STATE_NAME:ALL_SOLID:frozen dwarf spittle]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:ALL_SOLID:frozen dwarf spittle]
[STATE_NAME:LIQUID:dwarf spittle]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:LIQUID:dwarf spittle]
[STATE_NAME:GAS:boiling dwarf spittle]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:GAS:boiling dwarf spittle]
[STATE_COLOR:ALL:LIGHT_BLUE]
[PREFIX:NONE]
[SYNDROME]
[SYN_NAME:dwarven sickness]
[SYN_AFFECTED_CLASS:SICK_DWARF]
[SYN_CONTACT]
[CE_NAUSEA:SEV:10000:PROB:100:START:0:PEAK:100000:END:200000]
[SECRETION:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:FLUID:LIQUID:BY_CATEGORY:MOUTH:SKIN]
Then dwarves will get a liquid called spittle on their mouths which makes them violently sick.

[i2amroy]

That wouldn't have any difference in regards to acting during world generation though, and would probably end up causing more lag in the long run (as the game would need to track contaminants and if it rained they would start leaking contaminants all over). Other then that it would work identically though.

[expwnent]

The secretion method would also work even if you only get one of them for some reason.

[Sutremaine]

That wouldn't have any difference in regards to acting during world generation though, and would probably end up causing more lag in the long run (as the game would need to track contaminants and if it rained they would start leaking contaminants all over).

Maybe you could make a non-vascular body part that's destroyed by dwarf body heat? So (to use the example above) instead of having the mouth produce spittle, you'd have salivary glands that produced spittle for long enough to transmit the syndrome, and then they'd melt and hopefully become non-functional. It'd lead to some oddness in any screens that displayed wounds though...

[Lycaeon]

What about a self-targeting interaction?

Code: [Select]

[CAN_DO_INTERACTION:INSTALL_WEREWOLF]
[CDI:ADV_NAME:take on werewolf aspect]
[CDI:TARGET:A:SELF_ONLY]
[CDI:WAIT_PERIOD:1200]
[CDI:FREE_ACTION]

[INTERACTION:INSTALL_WEREWOLF]
[I_SOURCE:CREATURE_ACTION]
[I_TARGET:A:CREATURE]
[IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_CREATURE]
[IT_CANNOT_TARGET_IF_ALREADY_AFFECTED]
[IT_MANUAL_INPUT:self]
[I_EFFECT:ADD_SYNDROME]
[IE_TARGET:A]
[IE_IMMEDIATE]
[SYNDROME]
[SYN_NAME:werewolf]
[CE_BODY_TRANSFORMATION:START:0]
             [CE:CREATURE:WEREBEAST:DEFAULT] (Your werebeast syndrome here)
             [CE:PERIODIC:MOON_PHASE:27:0]

The creature will automatically target itself only once, and then will have the werebeast syndrome.

[Sutremaine]

That'd be much neater, yes.

Would this necessarily show up as an announcement? It'd be a pretty neat way of tweaking vampire dwarves to temporarily have the same lack-of-tags as regular dwarves, giving them the ability to feed their alcohol dependence and maybe to blend in a little better overall.

[Putnam]

Announcements only show up if you have VERB and/or TARGET_VERB.
