Question about ADD_TAG
« on: June 06, 2016, 03:34:47 pm »

Hey all! Thanks for helping amateur modders, I appreciate all you guys insights.

I want to have a creature that can alter it's FIXED_TEMP tag and thereby change it's external temperature. I remember reading about how this is possible, and I wanted to check some things.

Does it just tack it on to the end of that instance of the creature? If so, could this result in the game considering multiple identical tags with different values? Or, does it remove any duplicate tags when adding a tag via interaction?

According to the wiki, FIXED_TEMP is not among the tokens that can be added via interaction.

Yeah, I saw that, but I could have sworn is observed an instance where that was done. I'll look into it more.

Regardless though, does anyone know how it handles possible duplicate tags?

A particular creature will have its "effective raws" depending on what caste it is.  All of the tags available to add or remove are on-off switches, so it shouldn't really matter if the tag is at the beginning or end of the creature.

Notably, it only really tends to matter when it comes down to bodyparts and tissues.
