Im writing a simple script to make members of the fort eat/drink more. what it does is that it browses through all units with the right civ_id
every few ticks and then increments the counters.

now the thing is, the list of active units with civ_id being the fortress civ includes a lot of random stuff. my fortress with 101 residents and 119 pets has 265 units that belong to my civ for some reason or another. what flag(s) in the unit struct can i use to distinguish eaters (dwarves and foreign residents only) from non-eaters (pets/ghosts/..) ?

i got the result i wanted by checking for changes in the thirst counter, as only residents seem to be drinking. so this works well except its a bit of extra checking.

ill post the code below, you can just drop this into your hack/scripts folder and run it through your dfhack.init or from the dfhack console. it should automatically enable when a fortress game is loaded.

the default is 4/2 times as much consumption for food/drink respectivly. if you want to change that, just tinker with the factor variables.

Code: [Select]

-- makes residents of your fortress grow hungry and thirsty much faster
---------

local updateInterval = 60 -- min 2
local hungerFactor = 4
local thirstFactor = 2

---------

local doUpdate
local trackCounters
local units
local civ
local residents = {}

---------

trackCounters = function()
for i,v in ipairs(units) do
if v.civ_id == civ then -- only residents appear to be thirsty, so we use that to figure out who is eligible
residents[i] = v.counters2.thirst_timer
end
end
timer = dfhack.timeout(1, 'ticks', doUpdate)
end

doUpdate = function()
for i,v in ipairs(units) do
if residents[i] then
local hc = v.counters2.hunger_timer
local tc = v.counters2.thirst_timer
if residents[i] ~= tc then
v.counters2.hunger_timer = hc + ((hungerFactor - 1) * updateInterval)
v.counters2.thirst_timer = tc + ((thirstFactor - 1) * updateInterval)
end
end
residents[i] = nil
end
timer = dfhack.timeout(updateInterval - 1, 'ticks', trackCounters)
end

dfhack.onStateChange.hungrydwarves = function(state)
if state == 2 then
print("Hungry Dwarves enabled!")
units = df.global.world.units.active
civ = df.global.ui.civ_id
timer = dfhack.timeout(updateInterval -1, 'ticks', trackCounters)
elseif state == 3 then
print("Hungry Dwarves disabled!")
units = nil
civ = nil
timer = dfhack.timeout_active(timer, nil)
end
end

You should take this to the DFHack thread (or at least sub-board), since, y'know, its a script for it.
