Modding a Steel Colossus
« on: January 18, 2010, 03:20:02 pm »
Here is my template for the creature that I modded. the Steel Colossi. I made a body template so that it has 4 arms and hands to make it more badass, and there are quite a few tokens and tweaks to make it pretty awesome. The only problem is, I can't get him to stand up? I spawn using Play Now! then fall over immediately. i have legs and feet, like a human. the only thing I can think of is that 2 legs aren't enough to balance? thanks
creature_new code:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Body template code:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Entity_default code:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Also, I made it so I can equip any weapon and any shield
I decided to use the current body because I copied the Iron Elementman for body. But even before that I had joints and still could not stand up.
Sorry for anything and thanks in advance

The first problem I see is that is should be Collossus (singular), collossi (plural).

Try to replace INTELLIGENT with CAN_LEARN.

Changed that, it did nothing.
the only thing i can think of is that it is because i have no joints and no nervous sytem. but i have the [NOTHOUGHT] token so that shouldnt be a problem

Have you tried somehow crawling around and try to pick up something (Dirt, for example.)?

If not, try it.

If it doesn't work, perhaps it could be that the creature doesn't function due to it's lack of joints.
