I'm still working on the mice and I'm wondering how to get them to be able to summon, say, anvils.
The reason is that the transformice I'm making are based off the mice from Transformice! (the '!' is part of the title) and I can't figure out how to do item summoning for the shamans/shamanesses.

I believe I was able to make ice swords with a breath attack while trying to make a Fairy Tail mod.

The problem with breath attacks here is that I want an "iron anvil" not "a pile of iron anvil", I am using a 'breath' weapon for the cannon so it's used to attack instead of making iron balls that just sit there.

Try the throw interaction. Found in fire imps or fire men, I believe.

[Pyrefly]

Sorry, I was gone for a bit, and I can only find breath weapon tokens that produces fire on those.

Read that and you'll find that said interactions are a special case.

The only way to use interactions to get items is to get a spatter of some special material on the floor that can then be picked up and used in a reaction to make said item. This is done in my silly curses/secrets mod that I have lying around somewhere (included in Fantastic, IIRC).

I have no idea how to do that :<
Do you think I could figure out how to make something summon a creature that is unable to live (no [NOTHOUGHT] tag but doesn't have a brain) and it's corpse be an anvil?

In other news, I am messing with making a (VERY OVERPOWERED) megabeast and, while it's push attacks dismember most things and sends them flying across the map, I can't get it to use the attacks I made for it.

[Putnam]

Summoning creatures is way, way harder than anything else that has been described in this topic.

Also, make sure to check/post your errorlog.

I have no idea how to do that :<

1. Make a new INORGANIC. Its properties are completely irrelevant.
2. Make an interaction that makes this inorganic. Use the magma crab MATERIAL_EMISSION as an example; replace BASALT with your INORGANIC and LIQUID_GLOB with SPATTER_LIQUID.
3. Make a reaction that takes the inorganic and makes a weapon out of it. The wiki has a great page on reactions.

The error log contains NOTHING about the missing anvil god attacks but it's complaining a LOT about both modded creatures.
my notes are in ((ooc style borders.))

[Putnam]

Your hunch on tissues is entirely correct.

I'm pretty sure it's 2WINGS. You probably have both.

The oddly placed material definition tokens in your creature definition may actually be causing problems.

You didn't define FEATHER before everything else. Seriously, as near the beginning as possible.

I make messes much, much bigger on a regular basis.

[Pyrefly]

I figured out the problem with the anvil god's attacks: I was defining parts it didn't have for use in the attacks. In object testing I found out the neat thing of being right over the enemy can turn a 'tricky' strike into being 'easy' if, say, the thing you are stomping on is right under your foot.

In other news, I've fixed the wings and attacks and such (turns out I don't need 2_WINGS if the body defined already has wings, I really should've known that.)
I am following what you said but I STILL can't fix the feathers.

If this is only to be used in fortress mode, I'd use DFHack's Interaction Trigger along with the createitem script. I believe it should work in fortress mode, but interaction triggers are apparently broken in adventure mode at the moment.

IIRC the createitem script allows you to make the item only stay around for a while, disappearing into thin air after a while if you want it to. Not entirely sure about the name, but I think it should be createitem, create-item or something similar.

There are 3 different things for creating items:
1. "createitem", a C++ plugin which calls the custom reaction code to create arbitrary items with a given material and quantity.
2. "create-items", a Ruby script which is capable of creating bars, boulders, plants, logs, webs, and anvils (and nothing else)
3. "modtools/create-item", a Lua script which performs mostly the same thing as the C++ "createitem" command.

None of them contain any logic for making items disappear after any sort of delay.

[Roses]

The script for creating items in my collection does have logic for making an item vanish after a delay, but is not included in standard DFHack.

This is gonna sound like a dumb question, I've installed DFhack and now I'm trying to use your scripts but how do you install it?
