I'm an idiot when it comes to modding, so can someone please show me how to create a crystal/gem core/brain/heart/whatever that needs to be destroyed to kill it?

[Sagus]

Kodos, I've done a small mod that adds a controling crystal to the head of the colossus. Once you shatter the crystal, the colossus die. It depends a bit too much on luck (since you can't aim where your attacks go), but it works perfectly.
Add this to the "body_default" file in the raw/objects folder:

[BODY:CRYSTAL_CONTROLLER]
   [BP:BRAIN:controlling crystal:STP][CONTYPE:HEAD][THOUGHT][CATEGORY:CRYSTAL]
      [DEFAULT_RELSIZE:200]

And replace the bronze colossus entry in the "creature_standard" file with this one:

The crystal will be made of crystal rock, but you can make it any material you like by changing TISSUE_MATERIAL token.
Also, if you think it's too cheap to make it an external target, just add the INTERNAL token to the body part, so you'll have to penetrate the head to shatter the crystal.

[Kodos343]

Thanks! Would that require re-genning the world?

[Sagus]

Yes.

[Kodos343]

Hm. Thanks anyway. Not a solution to my problem ATM though (Got a Bronze Colossus in adventure mode with my Legendary Adventurer. Got all his parts in the red but, of course, he won't die. Don't want to just leave him either, since I want that kill, lol)
