[bloop_bleep]

Ok, so I'm new to the DFHack library and memory hacking in general, but I have extensive Python and C++ experience. I'm looking for a way to instantaneously move a building from one tile to an adjacent one. According to the comments in the DFHack code (library/include/modules/Building.h), I can't simply destroy the building with constructWithItems and recreate it somewhere else with destroyBuilding, because that would require dwarf labor, but I want to do it immediately.

Is it just as simple as modifying the x, y coordinates in the building struct? I doubt it.

Any help?

Edit the pos, items too, oh, keep the shape!

x1/y1, xcenter, x2
ycenter
y2

I spread a wagon across an embark and it's psychadelic.

[bloop_bleep]

What do you mean by "items"?

[Max™]

The logs/boulders/etc have a pos, move them the same amount as you move the building, so if the workshop is:

x1 70, xcenter 71, x2 72
y1 43, ycenter 44, y2 45
z 50

If there is an anvil in it, the pos will probably be x 71, y 44, z 50 if it's in the middle, and so forth. Wagons have a ton of items on them and if you just move the logs from the building and the building itself the items stay where they were.


Oh, also check world_data.sites[yoursite id].realization.buildings for the houses and keeps and wall type buildings.

The latter is how I did this to a keep:

[bloop_bleep]

How do you find which items are in a building? And then, how do you move them?

[Max™]

They should be listed in the building definition under contained_items, and just editing their position should work.

[bloop_bleep]

The only data members of t_building I see are x1; x2; y1; y2; z; material; type; a union of df::civzone_t, df::furnace_t, etc.; custom_type; and origin. I'm obviously missing something here. I realize I didn't mention I'm writing a DFHack plugin in C++, not a script in Lua, so I want to make sure we're on the same page there. If you were talking about the C++ library, you're probably looking at a different part of it, so can you tell me the location of this in the Github source?

[Max™]

Ahhh, no, I was talking about the lua stuff, we need to light the Quietust or Lethosor signal or something for that.

[bloop_bleep]

You know what, I'll try just modifying the x, y coords, then come back with the results.

[Max™]

Yeah, it's possible that the C++ structure handles it differently.

[bloop_bleep]

Oh, hah! Silly me, I was looking in the wrong place. In dfhack/library/include/df/building.h, there is actually a full-fledged building class with, among other things, a moveBuilding function.

[Max™]

Nng, booga booga, me lua caveman not like you include function, nng, me angry, me set locals and then do if or else!
