BONE is not a valid item type. What you're thinking of falls under the CORPSEPIECE category, but that's a strange and malfunctioning area when custom reactions are concerned. Avoid using it.

Make the reagent a NONE:NONE:NONE:NONE wildcard and tack on [USE_BODY_COMPONENT] at the end to make sure it only picks up butchered bits.

Civs need neutral biomes - this would actually be better suited to the df gameplay questions thread.

Oh, i find it out already, but thanks for help.
Yet another question, and this time truly about modding matters.
Can i make a creature (human vampire, for example) capable to injure itself? Like stab knife in the stomach or cut out finger?

[UnicodingUnicorn]

I doubt you can truly make it hurt itself, but a reasonable substitute is to give it in an interaction when appropriate that allows it to change caste with the appropriate bit missing. I think.

[King Kravoka]

How would I make a creature that changes to a separate caste once a month? They need to remain in that caste for a full month as well.

You can write a syndrome with transformations at START:0 and no END, then put [CE:PERIODIC:MOON_PHASE:x:y] after each one, where the moon phase pick over the previous one.

[Splint]

Probably going to sound... Stupid.

But I'm looking into working on a little personal mod and I was wondering if there was a way to allow/force a civ to make use of stone weaponry. Not wood, stone. Specifically chert, flint, and obsidian.

[StagnantSoul]

How would I add a description to a caste? I tried [CASTE_NAME:seraph:seraphs:seraph] and it didn't change a thing.

[Putnam]

[DESCRIPTION:x] is all you need. Make sure there isn't another instance of that that would reach said caste afterward.

[StagnantSoul]

*Palm+Face* Thanks Putty! I think my angels are finally ready for the public eye. Just need to toss in descriptions, and I'm happy with them.

[UnicodingUnicorn]

Erm, not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question, but can the item-trigger in DFHack 0.40.13 be used with armour? Because the comment at the top of the script file mentioned only weapons.
EDIT: Oops misread stuff.

Wait, DESCRIPTION is a caste-level tag?  * face palm *

This will allow quite a bit of streamlining.

How do I get something to transmit syndromes WITHOUT touching the victim or throwing something?

Perhaps leaving a puddle on the ground, or a gaseous cloud.
CONTACT type. (valid are: SYN_INJECTED, SYN_CONTACT, SYN_INHALED, SYN_INGESTED)
See http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Syndrome

ps. give a workshop a chance of having an accident; 1-3% chance of creating a flaming or nasty-syndrome-evaporating boulder/logstack.

You could make an interaction with an I_EFFECT to ADD_SYNDROME.

Nah, it needs to be a targeted, focused syndrome. And yeah, workshops accidents will be added to my mod, like in MW.

Hmm, that sounds good...
