Quick Question, Statues!
« on: March 02, 2011, 04:28:09 pm »

After you place a statue how do you tell what it is a statue of?  I've tried q, v, and k and none of them seem to be bringing up a menu on how to actually view the statue.

You have to look at the statue item, not the statue building.

With T, as Girlinhat said.

Thanks!  I'm dumb to have not thought to use t.

When I looked at the only statue in my new fort it was the following:

"This is a finely-crafted shale statue of Ral Planerags.
The item is a finely-designed image of Ral Planerags the dwarf and a dog in shale by Inod Vathezdakost.  Ral Planerags is embracing the dog."

Great, now I have a statue of a dwarf hugging a dog in my dining room.

Dumb? Not dumb at all - it is completely nonintuitive that a constructed statue consists of a statue building containing a statue item. But!

THIS!! IS!!! DWARFFORTRESSSS!!!!!
