v0.31 Talk:Syndrome

I tested out the claim about multiple breath attacks being used simultaneously, but I didn't get the results displayed on the page. My test subjects (some magma crabs) were given a TRAILING_VAPOR_FLOW breath attack using the same material as their standard LIQUID_GLOB attack.

Normally, magma crabs will remain in place and simply fire glob after glob of buggy basalt due to the way that GLOB breath attacks work. However, when I gave them the new breath attack they would charge after their target and engage in melee combat (showing the same behavior as creatures with only a FLOW type breath attack).

Also, I noticed that they would not fire both attacks simultaneously. It appears as though they would randomly choose one or the other breath attack while attacking, but would never use both at the same time.

As an aside, the basalt TRAILING_VAPOR_FLOW breath attack works quite well with the weird way breath attacks are currently handled, and produces some lovely magma vapor to scorch your skin off. All in all, a far better choice for magma crabs than their current glob attack.

"Hi", by the way. I just created an account last night, and this is my first time ever editing a wiki. I'd love to know all the stuff I'm doing wrong. --Kagus 22:36, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Speaking of breath attacks, can we move it to somewhere more fitting? Breath attacks really need to go into the creature tokens page or a page of their own, as it doesnt make that much sense why they would be in the syndromes page. -Commondragon

Is there any evidence for any of the claims in this section? The word "antivenin" doesn't appear in the raws or string dump (nor "antivenom"). I'm pretty sure that whole section is equal parts obsolete info and fabrication. --Footkerchief 06:34, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
