Question about mining mod
« on: April 06, 2010, 12:53:57 pm »
Is it possible to have a race use a physical attack instead of a weapon for mining?
Like a werewolf race digging with its claws?

Nope. Even if you could make them use the MINING skill for the claws, the digging implement needs to be in the entity def, and thus it has to be an ITEM_WEAPON.

Would the same go for chopping trees?

Yes.  I just tested a creature with an attack that uses the AXE skill and it's nonfunctional.  Sorry.
