In order to actually use an interaction, add the creature token [CAN_DO_INTERACTION:NAME] followed by a series of [CDI:...] tokens. Interactions can also be granted through syndromes using the token [CE_CAN_DO_INTERACTION] (plus the same series of CDI tokens).

The following CDI tokens can be specified:

Token Arguments Description
INTERACTION id Specifies which interaction can be performed. Only to be used with syndromes, since CE_CAN_DO_INTERACTION does not allow specifying the interaction ID directly.

  • LINE_OF_SIGHT - the source needs to be able to see the target
  • TOUCHABLE - the source needs to be able to touch the target
  • DISTURBER_ONLY - the target must be whoever disturbed the source
  • SELF_ALLOWED - the target can be the source
  • SELF_ONLY - the target must be the source
