I was in adventure mode checking around my old fortress and stealing things when I found this elephant that I used to use in arena matches. I pulled out a cross bow and 80 elephant bolts that I had just found and tried to shoot at it, then I get "you have nothing left to fire". Am I missing somthing here?

Sometimes adventurers can get really stupid... I bet that if you look at his inventory, you'll see that he is still holding the bolts and he threw the xbow at the elephant!

(This is a joke...  )

Have only the crossbow and bolts in your hands.

I hate to bump a dead topic but I'm having the same problem... I only have the bow and arrows in my hand but it still won't fire 


edit: now wait a second, I can't have the arrow in my hands. But how do I "unequip" the arrows? when I try to place it in a bag it claims that there is no suitable storage. I don't want to just drop them and lose them

[Torak]

'p'lace them into a quiver. If you started as a bowman you should already have a quiver, if not, just hold them and fire. I can fire a bow while holding the arrows so I don't see why you're not able to.

If they're in your pack, 'r'emove them.

I bet the problem here is what I had.
You DON'T need the bolts in your hand
you DON'T need them in a quiver.

what you probabally did was pick up the crossbow with your wrong hand. If, say, you're left handed then you can only fire a crossbow or use a sword with that hand. Try switching hands. And make sure they're BOLTS not ARROWS. Bolts work in a crossbow, arrows do not

I think the hand launcher is better. It can fire both arrows and bolts and even doesn't destroys them on impact.

Use [t]hrow to use.

Same here personally. I always imagine the bolts being something akin to ninja needles when I do this. There is nothing cooler then just running into down, tossing bolts and crippling every unlucky bastard that gets near you.

And if he could get close enough ... his face would meet a stack of 30 bolts at once.

Really, I mean, it's like firing/throwing 30 bolts at once, with the exception that you don't even lose them. So you can still stab them until all that remains is a bloody puddle.

Too bad you can't throw them all at once. That would be an awesome way to kill a dragon, just a shotgun of arrows.

arrow shotgun: possibly one of the most dwarfy weapons around outside magma cannons

I wonder if it would be possible to mod a shotgun into this game?

I think it's already been done.

I never knew you could make an object that would fire more then one shot at a time
