So, I made a creature. This is my second one, so far, and for some reason, it cannot use its attacks.
At first, I thought it was because it was too small, and I tried increasing the size.
Same thing.
It can only push, which is bad, because it is pretty small, usually.

Also, for some reason, I've never found these in a world.

Try checking your errorlog.

[MrLurkety]

Nothing. I'll try loading it in the testing arena again, but nothing but pathing fails.

Ah, finally got it. You copied the critical bits from the snakes, but you should've done the same for the attack data.

Where you have
[ATTACK:BITE:BY_CATEGORY:TOOTH]
...you should have:

[ATTACK:BITE:CHILD_BODYPART_GROUP:BY_CATEGORY:HEAD:BY_CATEGORY:TOOTH]

Same sub-bodypart deal with horns, don't ask me why. You also forgot to give your snakes the horn tissues/materials in the first place, since they're not part of the STANDARD_MATERIALS package. You have lines in there that manually add the SCALE stuffs, repeat those for HORN. There's also a missing bracket on the goring attacks' priority line.

I'll try that. I removed the horn, it was me trying to make it so that it can attack. If it doesn't work, I'll try

I found it somewhere in another snake I made.

This has worked.
