Attempting a new weapon mod
« on: May 08, 2009, 08:49:56 pm »
I was just reading a thread about Legos that inspired me to make something.
An orange transperant chainsaw.
I'll let you guys know how that turns out

Why a hammer?
Doesn't the chainsaw function like a chainsaw?

Make it be able to chop down trees... I forget which tag that is though.
Alternately, make it a [DIGGER] too, since the lego people used it to chainsaw through ice.

To be able to chop down trees it just needs to have its [SKILL:xxx] set to AXE. Also, you have multiple damage tags, if I remember correctly, tests have shown that having multiple damage tags means that only the last one is used, meaning you chainsaw will only deal slashing damage.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

If I give it both the ability to dig and to chop down trees, will I face any problems? Will the game spit at me and call me bad names?

Dwarf Fortress has crafted a masterwork setback. All inconvenientness is of highest quality.
It is decorated with an image of Tradanbattlan looking for a [DIGGER] tag in cat leather.
Engraved on it is an image of [SKILL:MINING]
Tradanbattlan is crying.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.
Just so I remember

ah, I loved the Ice Planet series.  That brings me back...


And yeah, I think Ax and Sword would be more appropriate.

So do you make steel transparent orange chainsaws, then?

Andir and Roxorius "should" die.

Yes, actually, I am trying to get myself banned.  I wish Toady would quit working on this worthless piece of junk and go back to teaching math.

Are you saying I make two different chainsaws?

Well, it should cut trees now, but the people who want it to dig as well might be disappointed - I think that requires the skill to be MINING, but I wouldn't think that the game would be too happy about a tool that uses two skills.

....

Now I wonder how that would be handled.........

EDIT:  After wandering the RAWs a bit more, I think I can make it a digger for you, too.  Go to the entity file for your civ (dwarves are in entity_default.txt), and add this line to the top:
Code: [Select]
[DIGGER:ITEM_WEAPON_CHAINSAW]No guarantees, but it might work.
