[Urist McVoyager]

Okay, so I'm trying to create a syndrome that encourages my modded race to spend as little time underground as necessary. Mainly by giving them horrible symptoms if they stay underground for extended periods of time. Is Cave Adaptation a valid trigger for non-dwarves too?

ETA: And second question: Is there a way to make them be born with it? I realized if Cave Adaptation is a valid counter then chances are everyone in my species IS born with it.

i think that's correct. here's a fragment that may do what you want for the symptoms.

Code: [Select]

[SYNDROME]
[CE_DIZZINESS:SEV:100:PROB:100:RESISTABLE:START:10:END:25]
[CE:COUNTER_TRIGGER:CAVE_ADAPT:1200:NONE:REQUIRED]

[CE:COUNTER_TRIGGER:CAVE_ADAPT:1200:NONE:REQUIRED]

And if I use that counter, it replaces any need for bites or contact poisons, right?

[BlackFlyme]

You still need a way to give them the syndrome.

Try giving dwarves an interaction that they use to apply the syndrome to any dwarf they see that is not already affected by it.

[Urist McVoyager]

Well that would give a whole new meaning to all the spitting dwarves do when they see a murderer.  "Murderer! I spit on thee!" Urist McVeigh rots on the spot.

It would have to be something on accident, I suppose. Or incidental. Like making them sweat and drip on the floor. Or put it in their tears. For my creatures who don't sweat, tears would be better.

[BlackFlyme]

Interactions don't have to spread like that. They can be given at range, with the only necessary requirement being line-of-sight. Sometimes not even that.

[Urist McVoyager]

So it really is like a disease where breathing can spread it. Nifty.

[Urist McVoyager]

Is this a good start?

The symptoms are just placeholders until I've got the format figured out properly.

EDIT: any way to make a blood-born contact syndrome that makes a creature explode into a bloody mess, spreading it's blood syndrome to everyone in the blast?

[Urist McVoyager]

At that rate I wouldn't need to worry about I_SOURCE:REGION. Just make it contact based in blood.

will use it when they can on themselves, interaction effect is all up to you

[Urist McVoyager]

Thank you for that one! All sorts of ways to do this. I suppose which coding I go for would depend on the RP of the thing. I mean, if it's intended to be done on purpose as a means to defeating powerful enemies, then the self-targeted interaction would be the best. But if it's supposed to be something they fear and don't want to be a part of, then having it inflicted on them somehow would be best.

so if i make a syndrome that turns them into a creature with [HOMEOTHERM:99099] and that has blood that gives the syndrome to others on contact... contagious exploding disease?

[Urist McVoyager]

Oh dear Armok, suicide bombing diseases. Give it a delayed effect, and let the victim go to the booze pile . . .

Bye bye fortress.
