I attempted to make a secret that transforms the learner into a dragon. Everything seems to be in order, yet it will not show up in world-gen. Even without necromancers, it still won't show.

Help would be appreciated.

Here's the secret:

Code: [Select]

[INTERACTION:BURNINATION1]
[I_SOURCE:SECRET]
[IS_NAME:the secrets of burninating]
[IS_SPHERE:FIRE]
[IS_SPHERE:WEALTH]
[IS_SPHERE:VOLCANOS]
[IS_SPHERE:DEATH]
[IS_SECRET_GOAL:IMMORTALITY]
[IS_SECRET:SUPERNATURAL_LEARNING_POSSIBLE]
[IS_SECRET:MUNDANE_RESEARCH_POSSIBLE]
[IS_SECRET:MUNDANE_TEACHING_POSSIBLE]
[IS_SECRET:MUNDANE_RECORDING_POSSIBLE:objects/text/book_instruction.txt:objects/text/secret_burnination.txt]
[I_TARGET:A:CREATURE]
[IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_CREATURE]
[IT_REQUIRES:MORTAL]
[IT_REQUIRES:CAN_LEARN]
[IT_REQUIRES:CAN_SPEAK]
[I_EFFECT:ADD_SYNDROME]
[IE_TARGET:A]
[IE_IMMEDIATE]
[SYNDROME]
[CE_BODY_TRANSFORMATION:START:0]
[CE:CREATURE:DRAGON:SPECIAL1]
[CE_ADD_TAG:NO_AGING:START:0]

And here's the attendant book-file:

Code: [Select]

Burnination
Trogdor
Flame
Fire
Infernos
Volcanos
Smoldering Peasants
Burning Peasants
Smoldering Villages
Burning Villages
Dragonfire


Thanks!

Well, lets see here.

Dragons dont have a caste called special1, unless you actually made one. use MALE or FEMALE, otherwise.

You can only associate a secret with a single sphere. Remove every sphere after FIRE, I guess.

See where that takes you. I can't immediately spot anything else wrong with it unless a secret cant transform something directly, which I was fairly certain DOES work.

Special1 is a custom caste, with the POWER token added (these dragons are modded to be intelligent.)

You can only associate a secret with a single sphere. Remove every sphere after FIRE, I guess.

Really? Then the wiki needs to be changed.

EDIT:
I did as you suggested, and one popped up! This merits more testing, but you look to be right.

Thanks!

Scratch that. I was able to get it to work with two different spheres. I must just have been unlucky.

[Knight Otu]

If you give a secret multiple spheres, a deity/megabeast must have all of those spheres to be able to grant the secret, so you should use two spheres at most.

If you give a secret multiple spheres, a deity/megabeast must have all of those spheres to be able to grant the secret, so you should use two spheres at most.

A single interaction can have multiple I_SOURCE blocks.  Put one Sphere in each block and it becomes a logical "or" instead of "and".

Presumably you could have several distinct pairs of required Spheres, but never tested that idea.

[Knight Otu]

That, I didn't know. On the other hand, using multiple copies of the same/similar interaction helps counter the glut of necromancer interactions the game generates by default.

Snap! It looks like you two are right. Thanks for the help!
