The following [[token]]s can be used to define and use interactions. (''It appears that, at least in order to make the big list make a little more sense, [[DF2014:Necromancer#Modding|some]]  [[DF2014:Interaction_examples|examples]] of those may be necessary.'')

|
 
−
| Disallows use of the interaction in play, but if the interaction animates or resurrects corpses, or has an I_SOURCE:EXPERIMENT tag, it can be used in worldgen. Animation and resurrection interactions do not need I_SOURCE:EXPERIMENT to work in worldgen.

| Global
 
−
| type
 
−
| Defines what things are capable of triggering this interaction - multiple sources may be specified. Valid values:
 
−
* '''CREATURE_ACTION''' - Specifies that the interaction may be used in conjunction with [[Creature_token#CAN_DO_INTERACTION|[CAN_DO_INTERACTION]]] and [[Syndrome#CE_CAN_DO_INTERACTION|[CE_CAN_DO_INTERACTION]]], but it isn't actually necessary for this. It might exist simply to allow for the inclusion of IS_ tokens (detailed below) to be applied when the interaction is used in this context.
 
−
* '''ATTACK''' - Allows the interaction to be used in conjunction with [[Creature_token#SPECIALATTACK_INTERACTION|[SPECIALATTACK_INTERACTION]]] and [[Syndrome#CE_SPECIAL_ATTACK_INTERACTION|[CE_SPECIAL_ATTACK_INTERACTION]]].
 
−
* '''INGESTION''' - Allows the interaction to be used in conjunction with [[Syndrome#CE_BODY_MAT_INTERACTION|[CE_BODY_MAT_INTERACTION]]].
 
−
* '''DEITY''' - Allows the interaction to be inflicted upon mortals by the gods, for reasons dictated by [[Interaction_token#IS_USAGE_HINT|[IS_USAGE_HINT]]].
 
−
* '''SECRET''' - Allows the interaction to act as a secret which can be learnt and passed on to others, as specified via [[Interaction_token#IS_SECRET|[IS_SECRET]]]. Appropriate [[Interaction_token#I_EFFECT|interaction effects]] with a [[Interaction_token#IE_TARGET|creature target]] will be applied to individuals who learn the secret. It is possible to set restrictions on who may learn the secret by using creature target tokens as described below. Also see [[Interaction_token#IS_SECRET_GOAL|[IS_SECRET_GOAL]]] and [[Interaction_token#IS_SPHERE|[IS_SPHERE]]].
 
−
* '''REGION''' - Allows the interaction to take place spontaneously in regions specified using [[Interaction_token#IS_REGION|[IS_REGION]]]. Also see [[Interaction_token#IS_FREQUENCY|[IS_FREQUENCY]]] and [[Interaction_token#IE_INTERMITTENT|[IE_INTERMITTENT]]].
 
−
* '''DISTURBANCE''' - Allows the interaction to take place spontaneously in disturbed [[tomb|tombs]]; generated interactions with this token are used to create [[mummy|mummies]].
 
−
* '''UNDERGROUND_SPECIAL''' - Allows the interaction to take place spontaneously in [[Demonic fortress|curious underground structures]] (which have since been removed {{version|0.40.01}}); generated interactions with this token used to be used to produce [[undead|zombies]] when creating the structure's inhabitants.
 
−
* '''EXPERIMENT''' - This can be used by NIGHT_CREATURE_EXPERIMENTERs while "performing horrible experiments" in worldgen. Only seems relevant for interactions that target living creatures. Note that all NIGHT_CREATURE_EXPERIMENTERs have access to generated experiments, and due to the large number of generated experiments available custom experiment interactions will tend to show up very rarely.

−
* '''CORPSE''' - The target is a [[Item_token#CORPSE|CORPSE]] or [[Item_token#CORPSEPIECE|CORPSEPIECE]] item.
 
−
* '''CREATURE''' - The target is a [[Creature|unit]].
 
−
* '''MATERIAL''' - This is a valid target for use in [[Interaction_token#I_EFFECT|[I_EFFECT:MATERIAL_EMISSION]]] interaction effects, and is used to set the material or flow type of the emission. This information, in turn, is either obtained from an [[Interaction_token#IT_MATERIAL|[IT_MATERIAL]]] token or by using [[Interaction_token#IT_LOCATION|[IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_MATERIAL]]]. Using the latter implies that the precise emission info will be provided when defining [[Interaction_token#Breath_attacks|how an interaction user can use the interaction in question via CDI tokens]], enabling one to create 'template' material emission interactions such as the MATERIAL_EMISSION and MATERIAL_EMISSION_WITH_HIDE interactions included in the vanilla raws.

−
* '''RANDOM_NEARBY_LOCATION'''{{version|0.47.01}} - Used with LOCATION. Targets a location from somewhere random within a number of squares from another LOCATION target specified by its target ID. For example, [I_TARGET:B:LOCATION] with [IT_LOCATION:RANDOM_NEARBY_LOCATION:A:5] will randomly select a tile lying somewhere within a radius of 5 tiles from [I_TARGET:A:LOCATION]. A walkable path between the two locations must exist.

See [[syndrome#The anatomy of a syndrome|here]] for more information.
 
−
 
 
−
* '''ANIMATE''' - Raises the target corpse/bodypart as an [[undead]] unit. The zombie will always be hostile to life and will retain no information about its original personality/loyalties. Syndromes can also be specified within this tag. If a regional interaction contains this effect, affected regions will have undead wildlife.

==Usage==
 
−
To enable a particular type of creature to use an interaction directly, the [[creature token]] <code>[[Creature_token#CAN_DO_INTERACTION|[CAN_DO_INTERACTION:<interaction name>]]]</code> should be added to its creature raws (replacing '<interaction name>' with the ID of the desired interaction; for an interaction called <code>[INTERACTION:CLEANING]</code> in the raws, the ID would be "CLEANING"), followed by a series of [CDI:...] tokens as detailed below.
 
−
 
 
−
Interactions can also be granted to individual creatures via [[syndrome]]s using the syndrome effect token <code>[[Syndrome#CE_CAN_DO_INTERACTION|[CE_CAN_DO_INTERACTION]]]</code> followed by <code>[[Interaction_token#INTERACTION|[CDI:INTERACTION:<interaction name>]]]</code> and additional CDI tokens as required.
 
−
 
 
−
The following is a list of valid CDI tokens. Precede them with "CDI:" in the style of <code>[CDI:ADV_NAME:Clean]</code>, for example.

−
* '''ATTACK''' - Targets enemy creatures in combat.  If the interaction specifies SELF_ONLY, CPU-controlled creatures will never use it.
 
−
* '''DEFEND'''{{version|0.47.01}} - Used in combat. Creature will target itself.

−
 
 
−
  [CDI:TARGET:C:LINE_OF_SIGHT]
 
−

LINE_OF_SIGHT refers to where the target C may be; others include SELF_ALLOWED (presumably like LINE_OF_SIGHT, but with the creature allowed to target itself), SELF_ONLY (preferable for undirected attacks and TOUCHABLE (for up-close attacks, as trailing flows tend to be).

| Shoots a trail of solid dust at the target. Appears to use [[cave-in]] dust physics, as the dust cloud will fling around anything it comes in contact with (including the creature who emitted it), making it capable of smashing creatures into the ground and flinging them over walls.

Keep in mind that you can give a creature multiple breath attacks, which appears to make the creature choose between them at random.  Creatures cannot use the WEATHER effects, these being reserved for regional interactions.
 
−
 
 
−
One major difference between GAS, VAPOR, and DUST is that if the material cannot exist in the specified state at the current temperature, it will automatically be created at a temperature allowing it to exist.  So if you create a vapor spray that uses rock or metal as a material, that spray will be created at the material's melting point, setting everything it touches on fire.  You can also create a freezing spray by using a custom material that has extremely low melting and/or boiling points.

−
If you give a creature a material breath attack, be aware that it will be caught in the attack more frequently than its targets.  Make sure to make your creatures immune to their own breath weapons!

==Creature and Caste Flags==
 
−
 
 
−
Certain interaction and syndrome effects (currently limited to [[Interaction_token#I_EFFECT|[IE_SUMMON_UNIT]]] and [[Syndrome#CE_BODY_TRANSFORMATION|[CE_BODY_TRANSFORMATION]]]) permit modders to specify the required/forbidden creature and caste flags of the desired creature(s). These are a collection of internal flags which are derived from [[Creature_token|creature tokens]] but are not necessarily identical to them. The following lists contain creature and caste flag names as provided by Toady One in a FotF reply [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf//index.php?topic=169696.msg8099138#msg8099138] (valid as of 0.47.04).
