It is going to be fixed in the next release?

[scamtank]

edit: actually no I take back that sass, I can't find anything beyond "confirmed to exist, yeah" in the bug tracker

[Putnam]

I've heard nothing about it being fixed.

[ZM5]

I'm 99% certain Toady is fully aware of the issue, and completely sure he said it was completely unintentional - I could be mistaking the "its 100% fixed next version" with some other bug but I would guess that if its not an intended behavior then it also will be fixed.

Sorry for the doublepost, but I'm thinking - would it be possible to have a creature with interaction knowledge be immune to a material attack that they can use? This is strictly without using transformation syndromes.

What my goal is - I would like to add Warcraft-style Shamans into the game - I want them to be able to use a gas flow "lightning" attack - going by how Toady describes it in the changelog with the "first" syndrome being the winner, I tried using the SYN_IDENTIFIER token, adding it to the syndromes of both the interaction knowledge itself and the material, but it doesnt seem to have the desired "immune" effect - they still paralyze themselves.

[SYN_IMMUNE_CLASS:WARLOCK], or something similar, added to the interaction. Replace WARLOCK with whatever class the user is.

That's for creature classes - like I outlined I want to make the interaction without transforming the user into a separate creature.

You can use [CE_ADD_TAG] with the immune class token, used by whatever interaction bestowed the warlock powers in the first place.

[ZM5]

Except this still wouldn't make them immune to material syndromes, thats my issue - I want to make them immune to material syndromes - I know how to make them immune to interaction-caused syndromes. And CE_ADD_TAG only has a specific list of tags that work with it, and all of them have specific effects that I don't want to add to the casters.

[Bearskie]

Edit - ah, i think i understand, your warlocks are not creatyres, they're a class like necros.

Here's the thing - make the ME only for cosmetic effect, and use an underlying attack interaction to impart the paralysis.

What defines a material as a fuel? Can't find a token or anything on the wiki, so is it completely hardcoded?

I'm trying to make an "oil" material that'd be used as blood for various mechanical constructs - I'd like to give it a secondary function as a fuel type the player could use.

[scamtank]

Coal (as in a chunk of burny stuff that you toss into a reaction) is very much one of those building-block definitions in the game. If only we could define more subtypes for it, like coke for mineral fuel and charcoal for wood cinder, but alas.

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

Yeah you'd have to just have the OIL be used in a processing reaction to render it into coke

[scourge728]

How does calculating gaits work?

Two options, both of which can be used at the same time if desired:

1) As suggested, have a reaction to turn your OIL into coke.
2) Define a series of reactions that do what ever you want to be able to do with your OIL, and leave the [FUEL] tag out of these alternatives.
