I'm having a bit of a problem with that race I'm making for this mod- everything to do with them works absolutely fine now after some ironing out of bugs, except that for some reason the game refuses to let me give them an attack. Here's the limb I want to get to attack:
[BP:RTENTACLE_ONE:first right arm:STP][GRASP][CON:BELL][LIMB][RIGHT][CATEGORY:ARM]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:100]
Here's the attack I'm trying to give them (basically an enhanced version of the punch which halfling put in to start off with)
[CREATURE_VARIATION:BLUDGEON_ATTACK_CLAM]
[CV_NEW_TAG:ATTACK:BLUDGEON:BODYPART:BY_CATEGORY:ARM]
[CV_NEW_TAG:ATTACK_SKILL:GRASP_STRIKE]
[CV_NEW_TAG:ATTACK_VERB:bludgeon:bludgeons]
[CV_NEW_TAG:ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC:5]
[CV_NEW_TAG:ATTACK_PRIORITY:MAIN]
[CV_NEW_TAG:ATTACK_FLAG_WITH]
[CV_NEW_TAG:ATTACK_VELOCITY_MODIFIER:400]
and here's the errorlog which is generated every time I start up the arena:
*** Error(s) found in the file "raw/objects/creature_clam.txt"
NETCH_CLAM:NETCH:Attack BLUDGEON seems to have correct format but could not find proper BPs in any caste, so not added
I know that it's basically saying it can't find anything to give the attack, but since I've tested it and the above limbs do indeed appear on the creatures I've being making when I spawn them into the arena, I can't work out what's wrong. Since you guys seem to be much better than me at this, I wondered if any of you might know what the problem is.
EDIT:fixed the code to how it currently looks. The problem was apparently not the hand/arm mismatch since I'm still getting the exact same error message. Any other ideas?
EDIT 2: Okay, I found the solution. Having been modding for all of one day, I didn't know you had to define the body used by a creature before you started giving them attacks. I probably should have thought of it sooner. Anyway, I'll probably be posting my civ of jellyfish before long.
