I want this thing dead.
« on: June 27, 2009, 06:34:35 pm »
This goddamn giant bat killed the first version of this fortress, has killed three dwarves directly in the reclaim, and is responsible for what appears to be a swiftly worsening tantrum spiral.

I want it dead. I want its entire family dead. I want to see it slowly ripped apart by goblins, violated in every way it is possble for guro fetishists and Slaanesh Cultists to imagine and then perpetrate combined, and then I want to feast upon its soul, relishing its agony and screams for mercy.

I will, however, settle for "dead."

I've deleted "HUMANOID_FLYER" and "FLIER" from its entry in creatures_subterranean.txt, but it isn't falling. It's still moving. I want it to die.

Tell me how to make it die.

No, I don't care that it violates the spirit of fair play. No, I don't care that this is, in some twisted and DURRHURRHURR LOOKIT ME BE FUNY in-joke manner, "Fun."

Tell me how to kill it, and make it stay dead. I'm sick of its shit.


Please.

Mess around with its body raws.  See if it's so big once its head no longer attaches to its shoulders.

I've removed its brain, spine, lungs, heart, neck, and throat.

There is no overkill. There is only "open fire" and "reload."

AND IT STILL WON'T DIE.

IT'S JUST HANGING THERE IN SPACE LIKE SOME SORT OF HORRIBLE OFFENSE AGAINST NATURE.

So...what do I do now? Wait?

Give it a homeotherm of 25,000.  See how it likes being a SoF with no heat resistance.

May I suggest a cage trap under a roof? Then just DUMP the cage into the chasm/pit. Imagine what happens on impact. Make sure the cage is wooden. And dump a statue on it at the same time. Works for me whenever i want to get rid of something.

I have considered the trap. Unfortunately, my fortress is in the middle of a tantrum spiral. I'm about ready to station what remains of my military in the Meeting Hall to kill anyone who so much as starts a fist fight. Around 20 dwarves out of a population of 68 are melancholy, berserk, or running around babbling.

The modded raws are as follows.

   [NAME:giant bat:giant bats:giant bat]
   [TILE:'B'][COLOR:0:0:1]
   [MODVALUE:5]

   [PETVALUE:750]
   [PREFSTRING:terrifying features]
   [BODY:HUMANOID:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:GUTS:ORGANs:MOUTH]
   [SIZE:10]
   [MAXAGE:10:20]
   [ATTACK:MAIN:BYTYPE:MOUTH:bite:bites:1:6:GORE][ATTACKFLAG_CANLATCH]
   [CHILD:1][CHILDNAME:giant bat pup:giant bat pups]
   [FAT:3]
   [ALL_ACTIVE]

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

When I've had to make things "just dead" before, my favourite method has been to stick in a boiling point tag and set it to zero.

When you reload the game, it'll be there. The moment you unpause, it will no longer exist.

Thank you everyone-I've done everything you've suggested-BUT IT STILL WON'T DIE.

I reloaded! I made it somewhere around the temperature of the sun! It doesn't have a head, neck, or brain! It explodes when it dies!

BUT IT HASN'T! IT'S STILL THERE!

Well if cheating your boat, use Dwarf Companion. First select the giant bat, 2nd press hurt(multiple times) and 3rd, apply it.

I still believe marksdwarves and more marksdwarves are the answer, just give it it's brains back so that they can shoot it dead, it's rather hard to shoot and kill something without organs...

People burning, booze exploding, the fort is on fire, the countryside has turned to ash.  Its business as usual.

Cover it in brains. Give it twelve thousand brains.
