yes, does anyone know how I can duplicate the water wheel's needing to have water to activate i.e. the equivalent to [NEEDS_WATER] unless that tag actually exists.

and finally is their a way I can get a building to generate mist like a waterfall?

Can these thing happen currently in dwarf fortress either with or without using scripts (if scripts post a link for a primer)

[Usul]

I know a script to check water around a workshop existed at some point, but I couldn't find it.
Generating mist can be done using the spawn-flow script in your DF/hack/script/modtools (assuming you already have DF-hack).

Check Masterwork 6.2 for 34.11, the hermit has a building called "handpump". It only works if it's build next to water and every time a reaction is used, it uses up 1 unit of water nearby. Maybe that's of use.

If you want a proper fountain:

<DFHOME>\hack\scripts\tap.rb

Code: [Select]

$fountains ||= []

cur_source = {
:liquid => 'water',
:amount => 7,
:life => 7,
:pos => [0,0,1]
}
cmd = 'help'
axis = 0
found = false
$script_args.each { |a|
case a.downcase
when 'water', 'magma'
cur_source[:liquid] = a.downcase
when /^r-?\d+.*$/
cur_source[:life] = a[/^r(-?\d+)/, 1].to_i
when /^\d+$/
cur_source[:pos][axis] += a.to_i
axis += 1
found = true
when /^z-?\d+.*$/
cur_source[:pos][2] += a[/^z(-?\d+)/, 1].to_i
when /^y-?\d+.*$/
cur_source[:pos][1] += a[/^y(-?\d+)/, 1].to_i
when /^x-?\d+.*$/
cur_source[:pos][0] += a[/^x(-?\d+)/, 1].to_i
else
puts "source: unhandled argument #{a}"
end
}
if (!found)
cur_source[:pos][0] += df.df_cursor.x
cur_source[:pos][1] += df.df_cursor.y
cur_source[:pos][2] += df.df_cursor.z
end

def fount(s)
if tile = df.map_tile_at(*s[:pos]) and tile.shape_passableflow and tile.shape_basic==:Open
# XXX does not check current liquid_type
des = tile.designation
cur = des.flow_size
if cur != 7
tile.spawn_liquid(cur+1, s[:liquid] == 'magma')
else
fount({
:pos=>[s[:pos][0],s[:pos][1],s[:pos][2]+1],
:liquid=>s[:liquid]
})
end
end
end

$fountains_onupdate ||= df.onupdate_register('fountains', 6) {
# called every 6 game ticks (100x a dwarf day)
$fountains.each { |s|
fount(s)
if s[:life] > 0
s[:life] -= 1
end
if s[:life] == 0
$fountains.delete(s)
end
}
if $fountains.empty?
df.onupdate_unregister($fountains_onupdate)
$fountains_onupdate = nil
end
}

if cur_source[:pos][0] >= 0
if tile = df.map_tile_at(*cur_source[:pos])
if tile.shape_passableflow
$fountains << cur_source
else
puts "Impassable tile: I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave"
end
else
puts "Unallocated map block - build something here first"
end
else
puts "Please put the game cursor where you want a source"
end

tap MAGMA_TAP

You create a 3X3 workshop, named (in the raws) MAGMA_TAP.  If you have built it where one side is empty and the opposing side is next to a wall containing a blood of armok (just the middle square on each side) it creates a permanent, uncontrolled flow of magma on the side across from the gem. The only way to turn it off is to mine the blood gem away or destroy the workshop.

okay I think I did something wrong or was I supposed to edit the script?
I got the fountain built but nothing, I built it on the other side of a tear of Armok but it didn't spew anything.

Also by reading what appears to happen it might not be what I have originally intended. what I want to build is basically a mist generator that also functions like a well of sorts

Meph was sharing relevant code that might be a starting point for you, not a finished solution that does exactly what you want.

[Meph]

These are raws that arbarbonif send to me, I have not used them yet. Feel free to talk to him.

okay I just wanted to make sure that I didn't ... mess it up.  Is there a beginners guide to ruby dwarf fortress scripting cause I can find a bunch for basic ruby stuff cause that would help me out a bunch.  but if I have to tear apart the scripts in the df-hack folder to get an idea how to do get it working, then i will but it might get messy but then again that is how I learned actionscript 2.0 in flash...
