Regarding Gas/Vapor Breath Attacks
« on: April 14, 2013, 12:05:05 am »

I recently attempted to create a new species with a breath attack that would cause the victim to vomit blood, but each time i go to test it on a variety of animals, the subject either -
A. Has no affect, message "*animal* is caught in a cloud of gnomey n/a vapor!"
or B. Subject is covered in an acidic substance and burns/bleeds to death with the same message

Here's the codes im using
For the attack thinger
[CAN_DO_INTERACTION:MATERIAL_EMISSION]
      [CDI:ADV_NAME:Breathe Stuff]
      [CDI:USAGE_HINT:ATTACK]
      [CDI:BP_REQUIRED:BY_CATEGORY:MOUTH]
      [CDI:MATERIAL:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:gnomey_gas:TRAILING_VAPOR_FLOW]
      [CDI:TARGET:C:LINE_OF_SIGHT]
      [CDI:TARGET_RANGE:C:15]
      [CDI:MAX_TARGET_NUMBER:C:1]
      [CDI:WAIT_PERIOD:15]

For the syndrome
  [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:POISON:CREATURE_EXTRACT_TEMPLATE]
       [STATE_NAME:ALL_SOLID:frozen gnomey gas]
       [STATE_ADJ:ALL_SOLID:frozen gnomey gas]
       [STATE_NAME:LIQUID:gnomey gas]
       [STATE_ADJ:LIQUID:gnomey gas]
       [STATE_NAME:GAS:boiling gnomey gas]
       [STATE_ADJ:GAS:boiling gnomey gas]
       [PREFIX:NONE]
       [SYNDROME]
           [SYN_NAME:gnomey gas]
           [SYN_AFFECTED_CLASS:GENERAL_POISON]
           [SYN_IMMUNE_CREATURE:GNOMIES:ALL]
           [SYN_CONTACT]
           [CE_VOMIT_BLOOD:SEV:100:PROB:100:RESISTABLE:SIZE_DILUTES:START:5:PEAK:10:END:20]

Any suggestions as to how i could modify this to achieve desired result?

you want LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:POISON, not LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:gnomey_gas.

Gas syndromes are not applied on CONTACT, but when INHALED.

SYN_INHALED
