Giving them a military move order and burrow order haven't worked. How do I make it happen?

[Girlinhat]

Definitely burrows, you're not doing something right.  Also Pull Lever /R with a workshop restriction, if you can afford to build something on that tile (dunno what you're doing, you may need a grate or a bridge there instead).

Couple of options.

Code: [Select]


 ....
 ./_.
 ....

top-down, . is open space, / is down ramp, _ is floor


This is probably your best one.  Station a dwarf on this tile, and he'll stand EXACTLY on this tile-- not one or two tiles away.

But what's best depends on what you're trying to do.

[Crioca]

Can you restrict a level to a particular dwarf?

[exoleet]

He's not standing on the exact burrow square I set for him. That's the problem.

[exoleet]

These vampires represent an extreme threat to my fortress and I need to make them stand directly in a certain spot for my machine to do it's job cleanly.

[Nil Eyeglazed]

Lol, then you'll want to do it the way I diagrammed above

Of course, keep in mind that most machines can be built to affect more than one tile-- you don't necessarily have to get the dwarf on a single tile.
