certain dwarves have persisting bugged station commands
« on: October 02, 2010, 08:15:57 pm »
I have no idea what to do at this point.  3 of my dwarves with excellent base physical attributes are completely bugged.  I once made the mistake of stationing my squad in a danger room and locking the doors when half of them where still outside.  Whenever they are giving a military job, be it station, train, or anything, these dwarves will pick up their equipment and then hang around this armor stockpile of mine forever.  Their job says 'go to combat training' or 'station' but they'll just stand around in this completely wrong place.  I've replaced the squad leader and disbanded the squad and reformed it under a new name.  I've moved the barracks.  I've tried to station them and then cancel that order multiple times.  However for these three dwarves if their on military duty, then this damn armor stockpile is the only place they will go.  I'm going to try completely dismantling my entire military and firing the commander/captain.  I'm desperate to get these guys to 'reset.'

any suggestions?

Try going to the [j]obs or [ u]nits screen and removing them from their job.

i didn't even know you could do this, is that what the 'r' button does then?  unfortunately its greyed out for military jobs.

Yup, it sets the dwarf back to 'no jobs', so that you can give another dwarf a go.
Sorry I couldn't help, though.

I heard that locking at door, waiting a few frames, then onlocking it resets the pathing, but you probably already tried that.

I put a bug report up http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=3358

this is a bummer, those 4 guys had some of the best physical attributes.  OH well, its .14, its not like I'm going to get invaded any time soon.
