Maybe a silly question but: Can agents have more than one CA? i.e. Would it possible to make a toy smell both like water and gadgets? If so, do I need two EMIT lines? Thank you!  Edit: Side question. This toy also gives creatures a small dose of water each time it's pushed. To implement that, would I have to inject a chemical? |

As far as I know, using a second EMIT line overrides the first one, so you can't have objects with more than one smell. I guess you could make like a second invisible smell emitter agent thingy attached to your main agent, but that is more hassle than it's worth for such a simple thing as a smell. No clue about the water thing, though. Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... |

You can use the ALTR command to give two CAs at once (see the C3 apple cores). Hope this helps! My TCR Norns |

Huh, ALTR... Now that's an idea. Chuck it into a timer script and everything is fine. Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... |

As for part 2 of your question, Laura, there aren't any stimuli which give water to a creature - they generally make it themselves in the respiratory process, so your instinct that you'd have to inject a chemical into them is right. ![[ngrin]](/images/smilies/emot_grin.gif "[ngrin]") My TCR Norns |

Won't creatures get confused if an object smells like another object? |

I don't think creatures use the water CA for anything, though? My TCR Norns |

Yeah, if they smell, for example, food, and trace that smell back to it's source which isn't food they will just pace around the object looking confused. Which water CA? There are two, though I don't think creatures associate either with anything... maybe CA3 with weather? Creator of the TWB/TCB genome base.  |

I was thinking of the gadget smell. Probably wouldn't make a difference except with creatures inclined to hit or steal gadgets. |

Those poor, poor Ettins  Creator of the TWB/TCB genome base. |

Default C3 Ettins are perpetually confused anyway so it may not end up having any effect on them. |
