Need help with alerts(?)
« on: November 07, 2012, 06:42:26 pm »

Yeah, well i was trying to make a |Panic Alert| for my civs so they can go someplace when something fun happens. So I thought i had everything in order but when i started playing again, everybody was just sitting in the panic room and they will not move, like it is active. (I believe it might be actually, but i can not turn it to being non-active) If i make them go back to their inactive/regular state, they still sit there like a bump on a log doing nothing and if i try to tell them to do something i get a announcement that says "(Name) cancels (action): Drop off inaccessable." So im assuming its because they are not allowed to leave the room. How would i fix this so that they go back to normal? Oh, and how would i set this up better in the future so that i can have a panic room too?

I'm only a couple weeks into DF so i'm pretty bad on certain things, especially military things.

To turn off your alert all you have to do is select one of the "non-panic" alerts (i.e. they don't have an assigned burrow) and hit enter while it's selected.

I had already done that, i had to delete the alerts and make a new one specifically for doing nothing. No problem now.
