Magmaproofing my dragons
« on: July 02, 2009, 09:35:04 pm »

I know there is a thread on this, I know it is in the wiki, but I can't find it for the life of my. What do I set the heatdamn and such to?

Is this right?
Code: [Select]
[HEATDAM_POINT:13000]
[IGNITE_POINT:13500]

Not sure-is it the same as fire imps heat dam point? That's what I do anyway, just copy paste the whole entry for the fire imp's heatdam.

Yeah. Does it work?

Should work.  I set mine to about that and I haven't seen any die from magma (or their own breath) yet.

To make my dragons fire proof I removed STANDARD_FLESH and replaced HOMEOTHERM:10040 with:
Code: [Select]
[HEATDAM_POINT:12600]
[IGNITE_POINT:13000]
[MELTING_POINT:13500]

Which seems to work.

The temperature of magma is 12106 dwarf scale, so just keep all three of those tags above that.

The [STANDARD_FLESH] tag defaults a lot of temperature-related tags, which can be overwritten later in the creature entry. Instead of removing it, you might want to put it somewhere before the heat-resistance-related tags, as fire imps do.
