Inflicting a syndrome using an interaction?
« on: August 24, 2017, 02:39:56 am »

Simply put, I want to make an interaction that inflicts a syndrome that makes EVERY body part explode into gore.

So use a trailing_vapor_flow with a material with a syndrome as described in my response  to your post in the questions thread. There isn't currently a way to launch something that could tear off limbs, as solid_glob and the item ones don't really work as expected. you can try the dust flow one which could throw around the enemies but then I don't think it would give the syndrome, and it will cause more mayhem than you may have intended. Don't forget to make the cat immune so it doesn't also errupt in blood.

Or you could use the ADD_SYNDROME effect

here's an example of an interaction that only explodes legs:

Code: [Select]
        [I_SOURCE:CREATURE_ACTION]
        [I_TARGET:A:CREATURE]
            [IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_CREATURE]
            [IT_CANNOT_TARGET_IF_ALREADY_AFFECTED]
            [IT_MANUAL_INPUT:victim]
        [I_EFFECT:ADD_SYNDROME]
            [IE_TARGET:A]
            [IE_IMMEDIATE]
            [SYNDROME]
                [CE_BLEEDING:SEV:1000:PROB:100:BP:BY_CATEGORY:ARM_UPPER:ALL:START:0:PEAK:500:END:800]
                [CE_IMPAIR_FUNCTION:SEV:1000:PROB:100:BP:BY_CATEGORY:ARM_UPPER:ALL:START:0]
                [CE_BLEEDING:SEV:1000:PROB:100:BP:BY_CATEGORY:ARM_LOWER:ALL:START:0:PEAK:500:END:800]
                [CE_IMPAIR_FUNCTION:SEV:1000:PROB:100:BP:BY_CATEGORY:ARM_LOWER:ALL:START:0]
                [CE_IMPAIR_FUNCTION:SEV:1000:PROB:100:BP:BY_TYPE:GRASP:ALL:START:0]

and here's the CDI:

Code: [Select]
[CDI:INTERACTION:MAGE_OF_SPACE_CREATE_SPACE_ARMS]
[CDI:ADV_NAME:Create space (in place of enemy's arms)]
[CDI:USAGE_HINT:ATTACK]
[CDI:BP_REQUIRED:BY_CATEGORY:HEAD]
[CDI:VERB:gesture (space creation):gestures (space creation):NA]
[CDI:TARGET_VERB:suddenly feel like your arms are not there:loses all arms]
[CDI:TARGET:A:LINE_OF_SIGHT]
[CDI:TARGET_RANGE:A:100]
[CDI:MAX_TARGET_NUMBER:A:1]
[CDI:WAIT_PERIOD:2000]

Couldn't you copy the spit interaction, but replace the spit with a custom liquid that causes your desired syndrome?

Everything I say is sigged.  There's no reason to ask if it's ok anymore!
