Yes, that is absolutely possible.

You would need a "throwing glove" or something like that, to use a weapon to shoot these hand-bombs, but thats about it. The rest just works fine. The range would be quite big, and they fly in a straight line, not in an arc, so a "bomb fling/sling" should fit for this.

[Thuellai]

Yeah, basically the way I was imagining was that you'd have a 'bomb case' weapon (in my head, they're shaped like primitive jar-and-stick grenades, because that's what they look like in FFXII) and then different shell casings with different reactions attached.  I figure the bomb case would probably act as a fairly small mace-type weapon (it's a hollowed club more or less) if you used it to bash somebody.

I'm just excited to see that there's now a fuller possibility for 'magical' materials and involved projectile forms.

[Meph]

I think I will do something similar for my kobolds. Filled totem ammunition.

Weapon: (great) Totem-sling.
Ammo: (adjective) Totem.
Trappart: Booby-trap. (too big to be used by hand, but uses totems as ammo as well)
Totem Types: Fire, Poison, Acid, Crazed, Sleeping, Dust, Web, whatever.

I'll either use sling-skill for this, or make one free to use as "bombardier". Guess that will work. The low amount of totems will balance out how good the ammo will get.

EDIT: Putnam, what happens if I have a friendly, layer-linked civ that would normally never send caravans, and I do run "force caravan" on them? (I assume the answer is: I dont know, but nothing stops you from testing. But it doesnt hurt to ask)

Does the 'prospect all' function detect Demonic Fortresses on the embark?

[Putnam]

Does the 'prospect all' function detect Demonic Fortresses on the embark?

You're in the wrong thread

Also, you want "feature" for that.

[Roses]

Does (or could) the projectile expansion script work on materials emitted by interactions?

[Putnam]

Definitely does.

[Putnam]

Updated everything that matters.

itemsyndrome now has arguments; enable or nothing (nothing at all, mind) for enabling, disable for disabling, numbers for setting how often the check should be done.

projectileExpansion now has enable and disable. Enable is required for this one.

Force no longer requires an argument for "force migrants".

[Putnam]

Added moddable gods.

[Meph]

Looks like fun. Any creature with [CREATURE_CLASS:DFHACK_GOD] can become an object of whorship?

I did strike a dead end on one of my ideas lately, the mortician/undertaker, I think I have to bother you with question about a script... if you remember the questions I posted in the modding questions thread... I wanted a workshop that runs a reaction that gives an interaction to the worker, that allows him to target nearby corpses and adds a syndrome... but corpses cant be targetted, wont retain the syndrome.

In the end I want an extra step before corpses are buried, otherwise they will turn into "heaps of maggots" or "wormfolk" that gets up from the grave and attacks you. But if you embalm/prepare a corpse in the workshop (or have the corpse lying next to it, a vaiable target for an interaction) then this cant happen... but just with raw modding this seems to be impossible. Maybe you have a better idea how feasable it is using a dfhack script.

[Putnam]

Not can become an object of worship, but will become a god. I'm not sure if they will actually be worshiped, though, which is an issue.

Also, that looks to be quite beyond my abilities, if it is feasible by itself.

[Brilliand]

To be FIT_FOR_RESURRECTION, a corpse needs to have an upperbody.  Perhaps a script triggered by a reaction (never mind the interaction, this would have to be directly scripted) could search the area for any corpses and remove their upper bodies?  Then the "rise as maggots" reaction would need to require FIT_FOR_RESURRECTION.

[Meph]

Nah, thats not the problem. Raising them I can do, transforming them into maggots/wormfolk, no problem. The problem is stopping them from doing so. I thought about using CANNOT_HAVE_SYNDROME_CLASS and give the mortician an interaction to target a nearby dwarven corpse and add this syndrome... but of course that wont work.

I can make a priest that blesses dwarves while they are still alive, so they wont turn into maggots/wormfolk, but I cant target corpses. I just wanted an extra step for burials, a small funeral industry so to speak.

@Putnam: If they cant be worshipped, what is the point of these gods? I assumed the goal was that dwarves in fortress mode show "is a worshipper of XYZ".

[Warmist]

You can add gods as worship targets from lua. Also bonus fun is adding fake identity (i.e. making one of your units a "living god"). Maybe some ascension mechanic for very epic magics?

[Meph]

A unit that becomes a living god, that would be fun. Awesome stories to be told.
