Help with creating weapons from the raws
« on: February 04, 2010, 09:11:41 pm »
Hai, I need help with making a type of arrow for my smelter to make, its cheating, yeah..but whatever. I need it in the form of a reaction addition, please.
I would like it to do gore/cold damage.

Ah, Dwarf Fortress. The only game where it's considered perfectly normal to discuss the most efficient method of farming and butchering friendly sentient beings for their valuable bones...

This should be in the modding subforum, not dwarf mode discussion.

Three things you need to know about this attempt:
First, to make a new type of arrow, you first need a new type of arrow in the ammo raws. You can't just make a new type in a smelter reaction and expect it to work.

Second, it is currently impossible to deal two types of damage with a single weapon. Choose gore or cold, not both.

Third, add the following to item_ammo:
[ITEM_AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_ARROWS_FROST]
[NAME:frost arrow:frost arrows]
[CLASS:ARROW]
[DAMAGE:1:COLD]

and the following to reaction_standard:
[REACTION:FROST_ARROWS]
[NAME:free frost arrows]
[SMELTER]
[PRODUCT:100:25:AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_ARROWS_FROST:METAL:COPPER]

And that should do it.

Dwarves can't use arrows at all - they use bolts.

your hoard, your dwarves, and your fortress.
I prefer Hoard, Horde, and Hovel...
