Giant floating [GRAZER]s with horns? Yes please.

[sjm9876]

....This is why I should come to Community Games more often....

And I've now been inspired to brush up on my modding skills.
I will be following this

Giant floating [GRAZER]s with horns? Yes please.

Also, they deflate if you puncture them, temporarily allowing them to move very fast as the gas escapes. This makes them hard to catch. Presumably attaching one to a restraint would look hilarious.

[kopout]

Have you made these? are you making them now? if the answer to both of those is no I think I'll give it a shot

[WillowLuman]

I was thinking about it after finishing my succession turn. But I'm not working on it now, so give it a shot if you like.

Discovered annoying fact that making an air tissue that is gaseous, leaks, and [FUNCTIONAL], and using that inside the air bladder of my attempt at a flying jellyfish, does not cause said jellyfish to plummet from the air when all its air leaks out

Good luck on air gazelle, I await them with hunting rifle ready

[WillowLuman]

You'd need to give the bladder the [FLY] token, and make sure the creature doesn't have it. If [FLY] is defined only on the body part level, then a crippling injury to that body part disables flying.

Hm

according to wiki [FLIER] is needed for both body part and creature. Creature with [FLIER] can fly without any [FLIER] parts but disabling [FLIER] parts when they are there apparently causes plummeting. Is this incorrect? Honestly not sure.

How about
- air sac has [FLIER] indeed
- air sac leaks syndrome-causing fluid that causes the creature itself to emit bursts of gas for a while ("gas escaping") and move very fast for a few phases?

That's about what I was thinking

[StLeibowitz]

The air sac did indeed have the Flier token, yet they remained able to fly even with all the air gone, so long as the functionally-impaired part remained on them. Minor issue; perhaps the same syndrome that makes them move faster could also transform them into a sac-less, flightless version in the end, as well?

[Halfling]

That works but would make them heal all other damage. What if you make the syndrome impair that organ's function? Or cause extreme rot to it immediately?

If that doesn't work, could make it cause paralysis to the creature. That's pretty much implying they are immobile without their sac. If they're not supposed to suffocate then they need to not need to breathe, but otherwise probably would work.

[WillowLuman]

The sac has to be crippled to disable flying. It needs to have tokens that enable it to be crippled, probably "broken"

[StLeibowitz]

Adding [STRUCTURAL] to the air tissue made it work as anticipated. Was amusing to have sent my enemy air-jelly to the ground, just to follow him a few moments later when my own air sac deflated fully

The relevant tissue and material, for those working on the blimp-gazelle:

I gave it functional but not structural. Will that still work.

[TISSUE_NAME:lift gas:STP]
[TISSUE_MATERIAL:
[FLIGHT]// wiki says this might or might not do any thing

[TISSUE_MAT_STATE:GAS]
[RELATIVE_THICKNESS:100]
[HEALING_RATE:300]//three times as long as vanela skin to heal. slowly replenishing it self after being rapidly lost.
Material is left blank because I haven't gotten to it yet

[Halfling]

Apparently the organ does not count as damaged (in such a way as to lose flight function) despite leaking out unless it has [STRUCTURAL]. It's semi-explicit in the wiki entry:

STRUCTURAL - Holds the body part together. A cut or a fracture disables the body part it's in.
