need help with the NUMBER token
« on: May 30, 2010, 06:55:04 pm »

Hi all,

I'm trying to make a creature that is a swarm of Illithid tadpoles, and I can't get the [NUMBER] token to work.  It doesn't currently produce any errors in the errorlog, although it did when I set the number to 100 (as in [NUMBER:100]).  Specifically, it said that I couldn't enter a number larger than 33, so I know that it's reading and interpreting the token.  None the less, it doesn't seem to work.  This is what I have:

Code: [Select]

But when I check in game, it just has the 4 bodyparts, with no numbers.  The same thing occurs with the tentacles of a different illithid caste.

Can anyone help out?

I'm probably wrong, but with almost all creatures it won't show all of the body parts. Try injuring it first to see if one of the questioned parts appears.

It is the SMALL token that makes a body part not show up unless injured.  These parts show up; there's only one of each, not 25. 

I did check that anyway, though:  the grapple menu shows external SMALL parts even if they aren't damaged, so I used it to check if there was any weirdness going on that could be seen that way.  There wasn't.  I also let some soldiers hack at these for a while; as far as I can tell the NUMBER token really isn't working.

The NUMBER token appears to just be broken.  I took the [SMALL] tag off the ribs, and as far as I can tell those aren't being duplicated either.

One for the bug tracker, I guess.
