Hunter problem
« on: April 04, 2010, 03:30:15 am »

I am unsure what it now takes to make a dwarf a "hunter".

I have him with animal training, hunting, trapping and dissection on (to make sure). He has a wood bow and a leather quiver but is not picking up any arrows(wood) he is also not leaving to hunt even without ammo.

I am obviously missing something here, but i am unsure what.

Did you assign bolts via the (m)ilitary -> (f)ammunition screen?

Ah, aparently not.

How do i go about doing that, im in the M -> f menu, but i cant set a type of ammo to the hunter? Do i make him in his own squad?

I am suffering a similar problem with the exception that the hunter does have a crossbow, quiver, full leather armor, and around 75 bolts on him. I also did the assign bolt option but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Mattex: m->f->c(add item)

also, it seems that hunters need to have their hunting labour(that's the only one he needs) turn off and on again to start hunting.(you need to do it everytime he runs out of ammo)

Note: there's been at least four threads related to hunting problems. Do use the forum search option.

Ah thanks, that worked.  :D

I couldnt find anything via the search function. My computer and internet are probably going crazy as usual.
