Frostbite
« on: March 01, 2013, 11:02:49 am »
Hey modders, I just wanted to know if anyone knows anything ever done with a working frostbite weapon. Of any sort. A creature that causes death by frostbite, a pool of liquid, a breath attack... because I dont get it. Whenever I try to implement it, it does not kill. Do targets need to be naked/not-fully clothed?

I guess what I am asking for: Does anyone have a working set of raws that kill by frostbite ?

I know that I've seen some around, though I don't remember where. I do remember that frost takes much longer to harm as opposed to heat, so the basic method instead of just breathing a really cold gas needs the material to condense on the enemy to prolong the exposure to the cold IIRC.

Check white dragon in Genesis Reborn.

Its breath covers enemy in cold extract which makes it freeze to death over time.

I learned since that  [SELECT_MATERIAL:ALL][COLDDAM_POINT:NONE] isn't caste level, and it didn't help this poor guy too much anyway, you will see, so be ware of that.  I wonder, if frostbite for living things is different from regular cold damage that materials suffer.

You get 20 "you are freezing to death" messages, before anything really happens?  :o This is exactly what I dont get about that feature, if you are frozen solid, you should be dead instantly. ^^

But looks like you want to add your own icemage-something to Orc Fortress. :)

Oh, you are changing the parameters now! you said frostbite, not instant death ^^

I dunno, I just needed a test mage, don't neccesarily read anything into that :D

Well, I want to kill things with frostbite. ^^ I have a go myself... some day... in the future. Now I want to explore a cave.

The orc died!  The tapir died by sword though, i thought it was already dead and stumbled into it after my eyes froze.

You get just as many "Burning to death" messages when caught in fire. :P

I have never seen a "burning to death" message... the dwarves simply die, and 2 days later you notice that there is a fire in the fort :P

Frostskald 2.0
* A combination of spells that apply both liquid Water and Freezing-fluid seem to be deadly more quickly than just Freezing-fluid alone.
* [HOMEOTHERM:10000][FIXED_TEMP:10000] for caste level self immunity

That is an explosion of ice vapor formed when the two liquids mix, seems pretty deadly but not quite an instant kill like if it were a solid block of ice.  But if he were standing in water it might be an instant kill.

Can you spawn some water, maybe 2-3 deep, and have a frostskald in it? I only ever managed a 3x3 field of solid ice, but maybe you can freeze everything within the ice vapor of yours.

I am thinking of my frost landmines of course... and a possibly frost turret... using frost giants corpses. ;)

And: Great work. :)
