Trap/weapon modding?
« on: November 07, 2009, 03:09:27 pm »
Hi, i'm new here. I was just wondering if you could add more than one damage type to a trap and not have your computer implode. It just seems kind of odd that a big spiked ball doesnt do bludgeoning damage as well as piercing...

Sadly, no.  It will use the last damage tag listed in the weapon's entry if you try.

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

Yes.  Any damage type the game supports can be applied to any weapon.

You'll need to add the item to the entity file.

Apparently having a redundant creature entry causes the game to say, "Oh, look, it's crazy world now. Nothing makes sense! Alligators live in houses!"

Wait. Does this mean you can make spears of fire which set your invaders into flames?
Or a warhammer of frost, freezing the enemy in his/her path?

It's just a TYPE of damage, and there's a topic on HEAT/BURN/COLD damage on this page which explain that this has nothing to do with a real fire or temperature. Still it's pretty deadly. And fun.

You can make a "heat" type trap components which simulate furnaces or fire torches and watch how your invaders' are damaged by it. I may be mistaken, but these kinds of damage tend to damage internal organs quite nicely, causing a lot of pain.

P.S. For your achievemnt, you're retareded that you haven't checked that thread before asking here. Nothing personal ;).
