I wrote up my first reaction, which looks like this:

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:EXTRUDE_WIRE_NORMAL]
[NAME:Extrude Wire]
[BUILDING:WIREWORKS:CUSTOM_SHIFT]
[REAGENT:A:150:BAR:NONE:METAL:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:5:TOY:STANDARD_WIRE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A]
[FUEL]
[SKILL:METALCRAFT]

My aim is to take a unit of metal bars and output a unit of metal wires, the unit of wire being of the type of metal I extruded. Will this work? because i'm not quite sure of the arguments setups.

[Shaostoul]

First question... Which version of DF are you using? 40D reactions differ quite a bit from 08 reactions.

[Shaostoul]

[REACTION:EXTRUDE_WIRE_NORMAL]
   [NAME:Extrude Wire]
   [BUILDING:WIREWORKS:CUSTOM_SHIFT_A]
   [REAGENT:A:150:BAR:NONE:INORGANIC:NONE]
   [PRODUCT:100:5:TOY:STANDARD_WIRE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A]
   [FUEL]
   [SKILL:METALCRAFT]

--------Above may work--------

[REACTION:EXTRUDE_WIRE_NORMAL] <--- this was fine

   [NAME:Extrude Wire] <--- this was fine

   [BUILDING:WIREWORKS:CUSTOM_SHIFT_A] <--- you just had CUSTOM_SHIFT, so that wouldn't of worked.

   [REAGENT:A:150:BAR:NONE:INORGANIC:NONE] <--- You had BAR:NONE:METAL:NONE, it's INORGANIC in 08.

   [PRODUCT:100:5:TOY:STANDARD_WIRE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A] <--- This was fine, as long as the item is actually STANDARD_WIRE and not ITEM_STANDARD_WIRE which is how toys are.

   [FUEL] <--- Remember you'll need fuel for it to show up as well.

   [SKILL:METALCRAFT] <--- I'm pretty sure this is fine.

[RCIX]

Cool, thanks! I actually wanted a non-shift key for making it, so would that be CUSTOM_A (for the A key, for instance)? Also, i was under the impression that INORGANIC allowed things like rocks, which i don't want wires to be made out of (lol).

[Shaostoul]

INORGANIC is for anything well... inorganic. Metal and rocks and sand and etc.

CUSTOM_A I believe is what you want for the "a" key to be hot key.

[RCIX]

Then how do i require a bar of metal?

[Shaostoul]

   [REAGENT:A:150:BAR:NONE:INORGANIC:NONE]

like I showed you. The reaction I posted was new.

Did it work?

Copy and paste the one from my previous comment with the whole reaction.

[RCIX]

Ok, that actually worked i think. I have another question: how do i have a reaction that decorates an object? or is that even possible?

[Shaostoul]

As far as I know... it's impossible. You have to use the vanilla stuff like encrusting or w/e.

   [REAGENT:A:150:BAR:NONE:INORGANIC:NONE] <--- You had BAR:NONE:METAL:NONE, it's INORGANIC in 08.

Huh. METAL rather than INORGANIC should work. See several smelter reactions for instance. Let me test that...

Edit - this one worked for me.
[REACTION:EXTRUDE_WIRE_NORMAL]
   [NAME:Extrude Wire]
   [BUILDING:WIREWORKS:CUSTOM_SHIFT_A]
   [REAGENT:A:150:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:NONE]
   [PRODUCT:100:5:TOY:STANDARD_WIRE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:NONE]
   [FUEL]
   [SKILL:METALCRAFT]

[Shaostoul]

That's what I was using for the longest time...

Everyone kept complaining that it was 'incorrect' and the proper way to do it was INORGANIC. So >.> Yeah.
