I'm a Cheaty Dwarf trying to learn DFHACk's createitem
« on: February 20, 2015, 05:35:26 pm »

...and I can't figure out how to spawn an iron bar. I've tried
Code: [Select]
createitem METAL:IRON 1 but it hasn't done me any good.

Any and all help would be appreciated.

That didn't work unfortunately. I got the same error
Code: [Select]
You must specify a valid item type to create!

Thank you for your suggestions, but I'm still getting the same issue.

What in all flavor of damnation...

I'm used every single definition I know, and it's not working?

Ask in the modding section, they will know.

BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:IRON?
DFHack doesn't recognize NO_SUBTYPE as an item subtype - you need to use NONE.

BAR:NONE:METAL:IRON?
Getting warmer. DF itself will recognize METAL as an alias for INORGANIC, but DFHack does not.

There's also the issue that you need to specify the item and the material separately - "createitem BAR:NONE INORGANIC:IRON" is what you want.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Yeah, he figured that out over on the modding subsection.  It's been so long since I've used DFHack I forgot how to do stuff like that.

That's what the createitem documentation is for (there's also a page on the wiki, but it's not very well publicized). No matter what you pass as the first argument to createitem, it will fail if the second argument is not present (or is a number).
