You could use the syndrome to grant an on_self interaction that triggers the interaction you really want.
Am I correct in saying those are only used during combat in the current version?
'Tis a shame I can't just make a syndrome that only affects [CAN_LEARN] creatures without making it either an interaction OR giving every single [CAN_LEARN] creature a creature-class.

Also, is there an eloquent way to make every material/body-part on a creature cause a syndrome when eaten?

Code: [Select]
[SELECT_MATERIAL:ALL]
add snydrome stuff here, mainly SNY_INJESTED should be an intake type

Awesome, thanks! Interestingly, it would appear that creatures with GOBBLE_VERMIN will never contract syndromes for eating live vermin. Eating prepared vermin, ala [FISHITEM], will though.

EDIT: Eating live vermin in adventure mode will also trigger it... Hmm...

Is there a way to give a wild animal weapons and armor? Or does all equipment come at the entity level

Well, as far as I'm aware, what the game calls weapons and armor does indeed relate to a creature being able to equip the items themselves. Which occurs at the entity level but when it comes to post-gen play, creatures that don't normally equip things that have the proper tags have been seen picking up weapons and armor to use as weapons. For example I've come across both a giant that wielded an artifact mitten she'd stolen, and a cyclops wielding a stolen silver mace. But you can't just give them the equipment directly without them being in an entity iirc. If you don't mind simply simulating a wild creature having them, you can give it a layer of metal/leather/chain over its normal tissues and a "weapon" part attached to their intended grasping part that they attack with.

Thanks. I considered this but would the combat log be strange and say things like you cut off their short sword and blood went everywhere?

Not neccesarily - its possible to remove vascularity from tissues so that they don't bleed. You'd then cut off the "short sword" limb and it'd go flying but wouldn't cause bleeding. Of course it wouldn't be usable as a short sword immediately though (but you could set up an extra butchering object so you get, lets say, a bronze short sword from butchering that creature).

Thanks. I'll play around with this. I think it will work really well for what I am doing.

Example creature "animated armor" that has weapons as body parts, by Deon, feel free to use all of it or parts of it.

==OldGenesis mod== by Deon & TomiTapio. Five wood classes, four leather classes. Nine enemy civs. So much fine-tuning.

Awesome. Thanks for this. this will be a lot for me to digest but will be really helpful. How/where do I define the body parts? (i.e. [BODY:ARMOR:SWORD:SHIELD])

You mean where are new body parts themselves defined, or where to put them in the creature file?

You'd define the body parts in a body_x.txt file, like body_default is where vanilla body parts are defined.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

So, I think I got most of it, but I am getting the following errors:

Spoiler: error log (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: body file (click to show/hide)

Spoiler:  creature file (click to show/hide)

EDIT

I noticed that I have the following switched, but I don't think that would cause the error:

You are calling the material ARMOR_F and ARMOR_H when you define it then ARMOR_RF etc... When you use it in the tissues
