Yes, in fact I once added a creature with lightning for blood. It was just renamed fire, basically.

Yes, but the blade attack in the tail sounds like the hardest part.

Two Questions:
1. Would making a creature with gas blood work?

2.so would making cats be made of adamantine, giving them a blade attack with their tail, giving them molten metal blood and adding war training to them be possible or effective?

1 - Sort of yes. that is the template for Iron elementals (deep underground) who have gas for their internal structure so that they are literally just gas underneath. Making it into blood is a little harder because it requires circulation organs with the material properties, and if they get cut they will probably bleed out everywhere faster.

2. Yes, most effective indeed, until the part where they sever your dwarves kneecaps with their cute adamantine ears in friendly head-bumps to your dwarves. Molten blood would likely require them being fire immune to their internal heat, however adamantium should keep them alive since it can withstand lava.

It's not even hard. Just change the state of the blood from liquid to gas. Also, it won't make them bleed out any faster.

I assumed it was to being gaseous that it'd all erupt from you at once but then again its not a type of creature i really dabble with.

Does anyone have the raws for an armor/weapon decoration reaction?

Very basic, but I think this should work once you fill in the blanks.

Code: [Select]
[REACTION:<identifier>]
     [NAME:<name>]
     [BUILDING:<BUILDING NAME>:<BUILDING KEY>]
     [REAGENT:A:1:WEAPON:NONE:NONE:NONE][PRESERVE_REAGENT] <-- (can be adjusted for a more specific target) (for the different armor types you'll need to replace WEAPON with ARMOR, HELM, SHOES, PANTS, or GLOVES)
     [REAGENT:B:1:SMALLGEM:NONE:NONE:NONE] <-- (change to whatever you want to decorate with)
     [IMPROVEMENT:100:1:SPIKES:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:B:NONE] <-- (the wiki should have info on other decorations)
     [SKILL:<SKILL TOKEN>]
     [CATEGORY:<CATEGORY NAME>] (optional)

I want to add a heart as a reagent of a reaction. Will this work? If not, how to make it work?

I think it would be [REAGENT:B:1:MEAT:NO_SUBTYPE:CREATURE_MAT:<creature ID>:HEART]

I don't know if you can generically ask for any heart from any creature, but you can try setting creature ID to NONE. Game might think you're looking for a creature called a NONE, though.

Also make sure the creature you want the heart from isn't intelligent. Currently, a bug prevents the use of anything originating from intelligent creatures regardless of ethics.

I've noticed if I make a creature have CAN_LEARN it doesn't appear in the screen I usually use for designating I want to train an animal. Is there a way to train intelligent creatures for war and hunting?

Intelligent creatures are sort of semi-citizens now. They may eventually apply for citizenship and you can put them into squads and such.

If you already own the animal as livestock (such as trolls) they can with [TRAINABLE] be trained in either hunting or war.

Though generally trolls work better (personal backpacks and flasks with no totally necessary requirement for booze is a huge plus, ontop of generally stronger weapon usage for more impractical weapons like morningstars and great axes) in supervised military squads as Teneb points out.

Is LOCAL_POPS_PRODUCE_HEROES valid on creatures that don't have CAN_LEARN or INTELLIGENT?

There's nothing saying it isn't. Try it and see if you get any.
