All these attacks are passing through! I need some help.
« on: June 01, 2010, 05:04:10 pm »

So I decided to make a civ creature, basing the creature and copying some data off the werewolf. I just went to the Object Testing Arena to test him, and set him up to fight something. Now whenever the poor thing attempts an attack, it says "...but the attack passes right through!" Is this thing made of air?

Here's his data.

I've a feeling this is because I deleted that tissue and body detail stuff. If that is the case, can somebody explain or give me a link on how tissues and body details work? The creature tokens page in the wiki didn't help.

Had it fight a vulture, and it's own kind. Both are solid.

It is because you deleted that tissue and material and body detail stuff. Since that's no longer there, the werewolf has no physical form in its current manifestation.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

Darn. Well I mainly used http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/User:Deon#How_to and the token lists to make my creature. Unfortunately that tutorial did not demonstrate how to do body detail and tissue tokens, let alone mention them. Do you know any tissue/body detail tutorials?

I added all the body detail plans, tissues, arteries, some caste things, all that stuff from the werewolf into the warg. Still no dice.

New code.

Try copying the BODY tag above the tissue layer tags, and above the attack tags, it seems like your telling the game to add tissue layers and attacks to body parts that dont exist yet. Also check the error log.

This is when I imagine the hilarity which may happen if certain things are glichy. Such as targeting your own body parts to eat.

You eat your own head
YOU HAVE BEEN STRUCK DOWN!

And I was just thinking about that last night. Anyway, it worked, and they quickly tore each other to shreds. Either the attacks are too strong, or they don't have enough resistance. But I can fix that easy. Thank you all for your help.
