Slings and AtlAtls. The weapons use the throwing skill. Instructions in the zip.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'm trying to make a mod that adds in slings and atlatls (spearthrowers). I'm satisfied with the weapons themselves, at least enough for an initial test release, but I can't seem to get the sling-making reaction to work right.

Slings should be made of leather or cloth, never metal or wood. As I understand it, the only way to simulate this is to make the weapon through a reaction. I can build the building fine, and the reaction takes leather properly, but the output is always a +sling+, rather than a +warthog leather sling+ or even a +leather sling+. Yes, the product is repeatedly marked with the + quality modifier.

This is the reaction I'm using. Can anyone spot the error?

Code: [Select]

While I'm at it, will this reaction work for ammo?

That takes hides and outputs nothing. It's a very good way to destroy leather.

[Deon]

That's strange.

[PRODUCT:100:1:BACKPACK:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:NONE]

makes perfect backpacks. I should check it.

[Deon]

Haha. My bad

It has 1% chance to work. Change it to
[PRODUCT:100:1:WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SLING:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:NONE]

It will. However I would make another one with ROCK for adventure mode. You can't get boulders in adv. mode easily.

[Lord Shonus]

Works perfectly. Right now, I'm working in fort mode only.

Test version is up.
