New to raw editing, or "I want to be a draconic terror"
« on: June 04, 2011, 10:07:43 am »
Greetings all, after trying to add the indiv_controllable token to a the green dragon raw in the Genesis mod, I found I still could not control them as an outsider. Could someone please help me out and tell me what I actually need to do to get this working? I have revenge to exact on a certain colony of brook-trolls.

Thanks in advance for any help!

You need to create a new entity definition in the entities file, with [CREATURE:DRAGON_GREEN] or whatever, and the [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE] tag. However, you won't be able to spew the poisonous gas that the npc dragons can. Also, you won't be able to hold things, and probably be incapable of opening doors too. I don't even know if wyverns can learn. Oh and you'll probably have to regen the world.

That's woefully unfortunate. I'm imagining there's no way to make a forgotten beast or a titan individually controllable either?

Although they all have names like [TITAN_1], IIRC.

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

Indeed. That makes playing them in adventure mode quite possible, if you create an entity for adventure mode (it won't work to create civilizations of them, though).

Better yet: if you want a REAL randomly generated adventurer, it seems that certain titan/FB/demon numbers yield creatures that are almost always humanoid. For example, from my testing, DEMON_7 is always twisted into humanoid form. Finding out which ones these will let you have all of the advantages of a humanoid adventurer, with all of the advantages of a random creature.
