I had made a personal stock pile for my adventurer to raid and gear up on adamantine but everything was gone by the time I got there. So I wanted to see if anyone knows the DF command for helmet/breastplate/greaves/boots

[slay_mithos]

I'd say to look into the dfhack help, for createitem command.

But when you make a fort for later adventuring, you have to "retire" your fort by making it an actual settlement through DFHack (I don't remember the exact process, but I do remember it uses the command "lair", so searching with that keyword should net results), so that all items stay at the place you put them at.

[srifenbyxp]

So typing lair in the command prompt retires? Because when I go to retire normally it only abandon fortress. I've looked through DF Hack help commands and it only list the commands but not actual function like: (this failed by the way) createitem ARMOR:ITEM_CHEST_BREASTPLATE

[slay_mithos]

The lair command is not the only step to safely "retire" a fort, but I don't know the rest, sorry, I only read it in some post in succession forts.

As for createitem, I don't know the exact way, but it seems like it needs a '/' instead of the ':'.

Spoiler: From the createitem.lua's comments (click to show/hide)

ITEM/SUBTYPE - the type of item you wish to create
      WEAPON/WEAPON_SUBTYPE
      ARMOR/ARMOR_SUBTYPE
      HELM/HELM_SUBTYPE
      SHOES/SHOES_SUBTYPE
      SHIELD/SHIELD_SUBTYPE
      GLOVE/GLOVE_SUBTYPE
      PANTS/PANTS_SUBTYPE
      AMMO/AMMO_SUBTYPE

Well, it probably was scattered then. You could just search everything there, it is still somewhere in the fortress area.

And don't the create item codes need a material and a value and things? Right?

[slay_mithos]

It indeed requires an argument for the material, but not entirely certain on how to write it as it uses:
local mat_type = dfhack.matinfo.find(mat).type
local mat_index = dfhack.matinfo.find(mat).index

where "mat" is the argument.

I guess you could find out how to put it together by looking up this dfhack.matinfo.find function.

[srifenbyxp]

Yup, typing in lair prevents the items from scattering. When I had to go back into fortress mode and did a quick scan of the area I found nearly all of my items in/around my bunker I have on the lowest Z-level that I got to in a legit way at that! [bottle necked party guests with twist/turns into a sharp hallway leading them into 30 highly trained humans one at a time, lost 8 people but it was worth it!]

Anyways thank you for the df command for preventing item scattering, also how would one reload their hand cannon? I got bullets in hand/inside backpack and when I press f to fire it's saying I have nothing left to fire with. Do I need to equip a quiver in order to fire bullets? If so thats rather silly.

It works like the raws do, INORGANIC:GOLD and such.

All ranged weapons are pretty much functionally identical and their behavior cannot be changed except for shoot velocity, shoot force, skills used, ammo used and melee attacks. You also can't mod quivers at all. So yeah, quiver.
