About syndromes, can a syndrome change a creatures speed? And, even if it can't, can someone please help me figure out what the appropriate syndrome code would be?

[BlackFlyme]

DF says it cant find the tissue I used.
Problem?

Could you post the creature's raws? There could be a few different things wrong.

The above will make the creature move at 60% of its normal speed. It takes affect immediately and lasts for a whole year before wearing off.

I have to view the forum on my phone... So gotta hand type everything out.

[Dwarf4Explosives]

That would be perfect for normal situations, but I need something that can permanently change the speed of the creature, as I'm trying to use a system with multiple syndromes to simulate the appropriate responses to injury, using categories to keep track of the state and type of injuries the creature has sustained.

[WillowLuman]

You're reinventing the wheel there. Injuries already affect speed, if they're in the right places.

[Urdothor]

Lets reinvent the wheel!
Its currently too round for my tastes.

You said there are a few reason that 'tissue ___ cant be found' would appear in the errorlog. I cant currently post the raws, so could you explain what might cause that?

[BlackFlyme]

Off the top of my head, you may not be have specified the right tissue when you tried to apply the tissue layer modifier, or the tissue itself may not have been properly defined.

The body part that the tissue is attached to may not be connected properly either, though you would have gotten an error if that happened.

[WillowLuman]

I don't think you realize how ambitious your idea is. How would you make these syndromes trigger upon injury? By blood contact? Then creatures would feel the effects of the injury syndromes, even if they were the ones causing it. There is no direct "on injured" trigger, I'm afraid.

[Putnam]

There isn't even one with DFHack.

EDIT: I mean, technically I could make one, and I in fact have made one for the DBZ mod, but it's awfully inefficient and I wouldn't include DFHack just for that.

[Urdothor]

I'm just going to leave it that out until I get a chance to post my raws.
 Considering all the screwing around I did trying to fix it, I might have to redo it.

Plus, I had to make custom... well everything.

[Urdothor]

I'll try substituting working tissues and things in place of my faultly things, to see if its a body issue or a tissue issue or etc.

[Dwarf4Explosives]

In that case, does anyone know what tags I'd have to add to the crossarms of the rolling abomination to make them reduce the creatures speed if injured?

[Urdothor]

Isnt it when [STANCE] limbs get damaged you slow down?

[BlackFlyme]

Isnt it when [STANCE] limbs get damaged you slow down?

When enough [STANCE] body parts are damaged you will fall on your ass and will not be able to stand back up. Which will definitely slow you down, yeah.

[WillowLuman]

Being in pain, in shock, stunned, winded, or tired will also slow you down, depending on your stats.
