Editing Body token

Body parts can be renamed with a [[bodygloss]], allowing someone to reuse an existing template instead of defining a similar template with only the names of the body parts changed.

| Begin the definition of a body part with the given ID, name, and plural name.  If the plural form would just add an 's' then it can be replaced with 'STP' (which stands for "Standard Plural").

 

| Marks the body part as an opening in the body. If it is {{token|EMBEDDED|bo}}, it cannot be gouged.

| Body part is used to breathe. If all body parts with [BREATHE] are damaged or destroyed, the creature will suffocate unless it has the {{token|NOBREATHE|c}} tag. Note that bruising counts as (fast-healing) damage.

| Assigns the body part to a user-defined category. Used by {{token|CON_CAT|bo}} to attach to other body parts.

| Connects the body part to all other body parts having the specified {{token|CATEGORY|bo}}.

| Connects the body part to all other body parts having the specified type token. Valid values are [[body_token#UPPERBODY|UPPERBODY]], [[body_token#LOWERBODY|LOWERBODY]], [[body_token#HEAD|HEAD]], [[body_token#GRASP|GRASP]], or [[body_token#STANCE|STANCE]].

| Defines part as a digit. Body parts that are digits, or have them as direct sub-parts, can perform gouging attacks within a wrestling hold.

| Body part with this tag is embedded on the surface of parent body part. i.e.: eyes and mouth on head. It cannot be chopped off, can't be used to wrestle enemies and can't be grabbed by them.

| Flags the body part as being needed for flight.  Damage to a certain number of FLIER body parts will prevent the creature from flying.  Note that a creature can only fly if the creature has the {{token|FLIER|c}} tag in its creature definition, and that a flying creature does not actually need any FLIER body parts.  This tag's only purpose is to identify body parts which will cause a creature to '''lose''' the ability to fly when damaged.

 

Despite its name, GELDABLE does not need to be combined with [[Creature token#MALE|MALE]]. A modded [[Creature token#FEMALE|FEMALE]] creature with a GELDABLE body part can be "gelded" through the regular gelding interface or through combat damage, resulting in a sterile creature marked {{DFtext|x{{char|12}}x}}.

| Creature can wield a picked-up weapon with the body part, and can use the part to initiate almost all wrestling moves. When creatures are spawned with a weapon and shield, one GRASP part will hold a weapon while '''all others''' will hold shields. A grasp-able bodypart is needed for Grasp-attacks, which are in turn needed to start a fist fight. Creatures throwing a tantrum, but missing a bodypart with the grasp-property, will be cancelling their fist fight, due to being 'too injured'.

| Body part is used to hear. May be a requirement for the body part to wear earrings.

| Adding individual names tells the game what to call each individual part in a [[body_token#NUMBER|NUMBER]]ed bodypart.  This command replaces "first upper front tooth" for example.

| Marks the body part as being inside the body. It is behind all the other tissues of the body part, cannot be severed, nor used for wrestling. It cannot be targeted directly in combat, but can be damaged by attacks to the parent body part.

| Body part is a joint. If the limb it's in is grabbed in a wrestling hold, it can be broken with bending force, disabling the parent limb. If the joint is modded to sit outside the body, grabbing and breaking it snaps the entire limb right off.

| Body part is a limb.  It can be used to initiate most wrestling moves. If it is located between an {{token|UPPERBODY|bo}} part and a {{token|GRASP|bo}} body part, it is eligible to be covered by certain types of armor (body armors and gauntlets). If it is located between a {{token|LOWERBODY|bo}} part and a {{token|STANCE|bo}} body part, it is eligible to be covered by other types of armor (Leg armors like pants, etc.; trailing body armors like mail shirts and robes; and high boots).

| Flags the body part as being able to wear lower body clothing like skirts, pants, etc.  If all parts with this token are chopped off or pulped, the creature dies. If the creature has multiple parts with this token, they will not die until all parts with this token have been pulped or severed. No such creature exists in the base game, however.

| Body part is a mouth. Implication unknown.

| The number lets you stack identical body parts.  These can be individually damaged by wounds, but you don't have to define them explicitly one by one.  If you don't give them individual names (see teeth) they'll be preceded by ordinal numbers (first, second, etc.). In practice, though, they cannot be individually damaged - if you knock out one tooth, the entire group will be knocked out at once (and will be scattered across the area). Butchering doesn't respect this and produces only a single body part per group. The value is capped at 32.

| Allows the creature to stand. Damage or loss of these body parts will cause creature to fall over. Loss of one STANCE part can be substituted with a crutch. Does not give the body part an ability to initiate wrestling moves, unlike {{token|GRASP|bo}} or {{token|LIMB|bo}}.

| Body part is used to see with.  If the creature has no SIGHT body parts, or if all its sight body parts are damaged or destroyed, it can't see unless it has the {{token|EXTRAVISION|c}} tag in its creature definition.

| Body part is used to smell. Currently unused.

| Body part breaks off and goes flying if broken, even with blunt force. Used on teeth to make them easy to knock out. Rendered invalid by {{token|INTERNAL|bo}}.

| The central core of the body. Used with the brain. Damage causes instant death unless the creature has {{token|NO_THOUGHT_CENTER_FOR_MOVEMENT|c}}/{{token|NOTHOUGHT|c}}.{{verify}}  

| Flags the body part as being able to wear upper body clothing like coats, breastplates etc.  If all parts with this token are pulped or chopped off, the creature dies. Multiple UPPERBODY parts are redundant, but no such creatures exist in the base game. All default creatures with bodies have the upper body as the root of the body tree, making it impossible to chop off.
