Recently I set out on an epic journey, one to create my own creature with no real base. I just finished the basic body and made an entity for it so that I could test it. I launched the game, everything turned out okay, then I started in a town belonging to it, and every single one collapsed to the ground and became winded, before soon suffocating.

Here is the code for their body and creature files:

Lungs, matey. That or [NOBREATH], I think.

[Samus1111111]

he has 2 lungs. I would add [NOBREATH] to fix that problem just like Blargityblarg said.

It might be getting confused, yer head body entry does not seem to actually have a head tag.

Code: [Select]

[BP:HD:head][CON:NECK][HEAD]
should fix that.  If that's what's causing the issue though, I'm not sure.

Right now your upper body part has no connections. This can cause the game to glitch. Also, the game tends to glitch, causing creatures to suffocate, if it tries to add a part before the part to which it is connected. It will still work fine in-game except that they always keel over and suffocate. I have had that happen to me several times. Your problem is that your head is connected to your neck, but the neck body part has not been added yet. This would cause this glitch to appear. Also, the [HEAD] tag is not required, that isn't the problem, but you should add it because if not your eyes, mouth, ears, and nose will not be attached. One last thing that I decided not to fix below is that at the moment all of your organs are attached to the [UPPERBODY] tag, not the  UB body token. This means that your upper spine, your heart, and the other organs are all connected to the energy connector. You could fix that problem by creating a second set, and replacing all of the tag [CONTYPE:UPPERBODY] with [CON:UB]

As this is all pretty confusing, I also added a changed version below.
