Bullets
« on: October 01, 2016, 09:14:52 pm »
 Is there a way to add special properties to guns or bullets. Maybe a way for a gun to shoot multiple bullets at 1 time or, what I want to do, to make bullets burst into flames mid-air. I want to make a weapon that shoots fire in short bursts, most likely by making bullets combust soon after their fired.

Only with dfhack.

In theory you can make them out of a material that has a syndrome, the material melts on body temperature, and if a "bullet gets stuck" in an enemy, it melts and affects him with the syndrome.

No way for a gun to shoot multiple bullets, sadly.

So, the underlined part can only be done with DFhack? That's a shame.

No, that part you can do without dfhack.

With dfhack you can make a lot more. projectile-trigger allows command over any script upon impact of a bullet, for example.
