This food uses the power of CATO to change creatures' perception of an object (and interactions with an object) without using another class number to create a detritus object.
CAOS2PRAY
CAOS2PRAY is a feature included with RProgrammer's Jagent which allows the coder to not have to code a separate PRAY file in their agents. This chunk of code goes at the top of the COS file, and when it is dragged and dropped onto Monk (also part of the Jagent suite), compiles the cos file, with its dependent sprite file, into an agent that will be easy for everyone to install and play with. For more details on CAOS2PRAY, see CAOS2PRAY: An Easier Way by Amaikokonut.
**CAOS2PRAY *# Pray-File "tutorial_food_detritus.agents" *# DS-Name "Tutorial Food Detritus" *# attach tutorial_food_detritus.c16 *# desc = "A food that turns into edible detritus when eaten." *# Agent Animation File = "tutorial_food_detritus.c16" *# Agent Animation String = "0" *# Agent Sprite First Image = 0 *# Agent Animation gallery = "tutorial_food_detritus" *# Web URL = "creatures.wiki" *# Web Label = "Creatures Wiki"
Installation script
Create a new simple agent, using the classifier numbers 2 11 5000 and using the sprite (image) file "tutorial_food_detritus.c16". Use two images from the tutorial_food_detritus file, located at position 0 in the file (because computers start counting at 0) and have it at image plane 560 in the world. A common error that can be introduced here is "Pose change failed", caused by miscounting the amount of images that are being used, by not including image #0.
new: simp 2 11 5000 "tutorial_food_detritus" 2 0 560
Various attributes - it is carryable, mouse-carryable, suffers collisions and suffers physics. Amaikokonut's CAOS APPS can be used to help choose new ATTR and BHVR values.
attr 195
It has a high friction
fric 100
It is moderately heavy
accg 1.8
It does not bounce
elas 0
It does not go through semipermeable platforms
perm 100
It takes pose 0.
pose 0
Now for the fun part: choosing where to install it. This looks like a long piece of code, but it is thorough at its job: installing an item by the C3 or DS creator machines safely.
Using the game variable GNAM, we can find out if the game calls itself 'Docking Station'.
doif gnam eq "Docking Station"
Double-checking that "CreatorX" and "CreatorY" have been set.
setv va00 game "CreatorX" setv va01 game "CreatorY" doif va00 eq 0 and va01 eq 0
Adding DS safety, just in case.
setv va00 6110 setv va01 9200 endi
Doing a test move, then moving it and making it smell if the test move is successful.
doif tmvt va00 va01 eq 1 mvto va00 va01 emit 8 .1 else mvsf va00 va01 emit 8 .1 endi
If the game calls itself Creatures 3 instead:
elif gnam eq "Creatures 3"
Perform a test move to a C3 location and if it's successful, move the toy there.
doif tmvt 5671 3599 eq 1 mvto 5671 3599 emit 8 .1 else mvsf 5671 3599 emit 8 .1 endi
End the 'what does the game call itself' check.
endi
Set the BHVR to 48 - it can be picked up and eaten.
bhvr 48

Moving On
Once you've mastered how to use CATO to change the genus of an object, the possibilities are only limited by your imagination and the numbers 1-25, which can be used to change the category of item to any item between 'hand' and 'potion' in the C3/DS genus numbers.
- Make the food which turns into detritus come out of a vendor.
