Making New Body Parts Directly In The Creature's Raws
« on: March 12, 2017, 10:02:57 pm »
So I'm trying to make something with ten tentacles, five on the left and five on the right. Don't ask, and you won't get spoiled  ;)

I know that you should keep as much of the code in one file as possible to make it easy to install and uninstall, so I tried to add this new set of tentacles directly to the kra(cough cough) creature.

Code: [Select]
[BODY:TEN_NO_CLAW_TENTACLES]
[BP:TENT:first tentacle:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LIMB][GRASP][LEFT][CATEGORY:TENTACLE]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]
[BP:TENT:second tentacle:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LIMB][GRASP][LEFT][CATEGORY:TENTACLE]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]
[BP:TENT:third tentacle:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LIMB][GRASP][LEFT][CATEGORY:TENTACLE]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]
[BP:TENT:fourth tentacle:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LIMB][GRASP][LEFT][CATEGORY:TENTACLE]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]
[BP:TENT:fifth tentacle:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LIMB][GRASP][LEFT][CATEGORY:TENTACLE]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]
[BP:TENT:sixth tentacle:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LIMB][GRASP][RIGHT][CATEGORY:TENTACLE]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]
[BP:TENT:seventh tentacle:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LIMB][GRASP][RIGHT][CATEGORY:TENTACLE]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]
[BP:TENT:eighth tentacle:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LIMB][GRASP][RIGHT][CATEGORY:TENTACLE]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]
[BP:TENT:ninth tentacle:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LIMB][GRASP][RIGHT][CATEGORY:TENTACLE]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]
[BP:TENT:tenth tentacle:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LIMB][GRASP][RIGHT][CATEGORY:TENTACLE]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]
[BODY:BASIC_1PARTBODY:2EYES:HEART:BRAIN:TEN_NO_CLAW_TENTACLES]
It doesn't seem to have worked because when I tested it out in the arena, other attacking creatures couldn't target the tentacles. Anyone know what I did wrong? Do the individual tentacles all need different ID's?

No, they have to go in body files.

It's that simple? Pity. Really hoping this could work.

Oh well. Thanks for the help!

If your goal is to make it easy to install and uninstall, you could put a custom suffix on every file you make, like this:

creature_derpy

body_derpy

And so on. If you put a custom suffix on your individual filenames as well, it should integrate easily with other mods. For example, this bodypart could be:

 [BODY:TEN_NO_CLAW_TENTACLES_DERPY]

That's a brilliant freaking plan. Thanks!  :D
