Author Topic: Dumb usual question : is it possible to make wall destructible ?  (Read 850 times)

Hi,
A little question i keep asking to myself...
Is it possible to make wall destructible ? I think the fact that i don't find any answer mean that it's clearly no, but in an other way i think this could be only a simple token to change somewhere ...

Or could it be possible to simply create a new building that act like wall but destructible ?

It was probably be asked before i guess, but didn't find where ^^.

There's a tool called diggingInvaders that allows fort invaders to dig through constructed & natural walls.
If you're talking about Adventure Mode, there is another tool called AdvFort that lets your adventurer dig through walls.
Both of these are included with DFHack.

No, it's included in DFHack, which is available for the current version. As long as you have DFHack installed you can start using diggingInvaders right away by running:
Code: [Select]
diggingInvaders enableat the DFHack console.

Still saying diggingInvaders is not a recognised command :p
Last version of dfhack : https://github.com/DFHack/dfhack/releases

Notice that you're right, it is included in the documentation of Dfhack but are not in the files nor in the commands available...

Make a 1x1 building that looks like a wall in texture, have it's impassible block be it's only block, boom done buildable destructible wall. They'd need trolls or something similar to destroy them though. Ooooor you could give gobbos or whoever you want invading the building destroyer 2 so they can come through "with torches" and break the town down.

Good idea, but it's too bad to give up the mutilple construction system of classic wall ... there could be very hard to construct external fortress ^^

After digging into the absence of the plugins, it seems that it was removed during the 64bit conversion of Dfhack, without comment, just like that ^^
I have notified it on the dfhack thread, maybe someone who play with the code usally could test it soon.

Siren (the one that wakes everyone up) is gone too, which makes me cry, as too often I have a third of my fortress sleeping and 2/3rds freaking out too much due to a siege to close the gates, or at least shut the bridges between the districts to save the craftsmen and nobles.
