Self-transformation interaction
« on: May 30, 2016, 06:53:07 pm »
Hello! I would like to create an interaction that allows a creature to transform into another creature at-will. I'm having trouble finding documentation on this specific effect.

I'm trying to go it alone using the wiki, but I'm having a slow time of it. Forum search is bringing up non-relevant results. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Aha! That did it!

I was calling the interaction incorrectly in the creature raw. I'm pleased (and pleasantly surprised) to say that I got the rest of it correct on my own.

Thanks very much for your time!!!

Hey, quick question.

I want it to say something other than "So and so transforms into a so and so" upon completion. VERB and TARGET_VERB don't seem to work. Is that something we can affect?

I don't think so, no. The verbage can add an accompanying description, but that message will be shown regardless.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.
