This is right.  SKILL:(skill) is for the melee attack, RANGED:(skill):(ammo) is for the projectile attack.

Gotta admit, though, that "thrownable" is bothering the hell out of me. It should probably be "throwing".

Having an issue with a reaction and I just can't figure out what the issue is. The reaction should be returning a single bar of Tempered Crystal. It's returning 150.

It would seem obvious that the Product Dimension is doing it, but removing that field or changing the dimension didn't do anything. Trying to set the product size for the powders didn't do anything. So...anyone else have this? I assume it has something to do with the powders, since my other reactions don't have this issue.

Powder also has a dimension of 150.  I bolded the part that needs to be changed in order to make it produce one bar.  If a custom reaction is making the powder, you may want to ensure that it has the proper dimension there as well.

Ah, of course! Thanks, that worked perfectly.

I'm trying to make a Tyranid civ but i'm having trouble with making blades on the end of the upper arms out of steel(they just seem, to ghost right through things), random bodyparts are appearing called "upper body lower body", "upper arm upperbody etc.." and when i go into the arena there are two creatures called nothing above the hormagaunt name.

I'm trying to use different castes as the different species and i've only done the hormagaunt so far but i'm trying to get the hormagaunt working before attempting the others. Thanks for any help or advice.

Gotta admit, though, that "thrownable" is bothering the hell out of me. It should probably be "throwing".

FIXED, my english writing skill..... welll .... sucks, at least i can read it fairly well...


PS: spitfire wouldn't be easier to start with a ripper, lot smaller and since he has only athrophic arms and a tail

PPS: does your hormagaunt possess a tail?

[rc spitfire]

I completly forgot about the rippers so they probably would be easier and to add a tail i just put TAIL in [BODY:HORMAGAUNT_4ARMS:2EYES:HEART:GUTS:BRAIN:MOUTH] right?

Let me know how you deal with the fireproof aspect?

An odd thing I ran into today while trying to create a corpse from a reaction.  I tried two inputs...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[PRODUCT:100:1:CORPSE:NONE:CREATURE_MAT:WALRUS:NONE]

and then...

[PRODUCT:100:1:CORPSE:WALRUS:NONE:NONE]

...Both crashed the game upon completion of the reaction.  Error log is blank, game log shows no record of anything associated with the reaction.

Has anyone else had any success with this sort of thing?  I have never been able to get the CORPSE token to actually work in any context.

Why not just use [MAT_FIXED_TEMP:10000] or something?

[Putnam]

Do custom weapons require custom reactions?

[MaximumZero]

Nope. Just put them in an item_weapon file, and in the entity file. That's it.

[Putnam]

Okay then.

I'm trying to apply a harder material / thicker tissue to a scorpion's stinger specifically, so that it has a chance to pierce armor without making the rest of the scorpion's chitin tougher:

Code: [Select]

[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:STINGER_MAT:HARD_CHITIN_TEMPLATE]
[USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:STINGER_TISSUE:HARD_CHITIN_TEMPLATE]
[SELECT_TISSUE:STINGER_TISSUE]
[TISSUE_MATERIAL:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:STINGER_MAT]
[TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:STINGER:STINGER_TISSUE]Is this correct?  I have both the material and tissue HARD_CHITIN_TEMPLATE defined in the appropriate files (with impact/shear parameters similar to metals), and it's not producing errors, but it's difficult to tell from arena testing whether or not it's taking effect, since the scorpions seem to rarely hit with their stinger (when they bother to use it).
