Two things;

1. A plugin that spawns a particular creature's corpse?
2. I asked this in the main thread, but how do you activate friendship, embark, and migrant functions in Dfusion?

[Sutremaine]

Easier n' pie.

How do I use that? If I put it in the scripts folder with the filename getbloodcount.lua then I get an error when I try to use it (lua:7: cannot use '...' outside a vararg).

Try this instead (tested it and it works):

Code: [Select]

-- Gets blood count of creature (7000 is max for most humans)
function getBloodCount(unit)
   if not unit then
      qerror("No unit selected or specified; aborting!")
   end
   return unit.body.blood_count
end

arg = ...

if tonumber(arg) then
   bloodCountUnit = df.global.world.units.all[tonumber(arg)]
else
   bloodCountUnit = dfhack.gui.getSelectedUnit()
end

print(getBloodCount(bloodCountUnit))


[Putnam]

yeah, sorry, forgot an end in there :x

[Sutremaine]

Much obliged.

Now, to figure out how on earth a child can have more blood in him than all but a very few of the adults... Just four more years until he reaches full size.

[Sutremaine]

Is it possible to make children follow around a specified dwarf in the same way that trained animals follow their trainer?

With the triggering, is it possible to trigger a specific megabeast, or specific race to attack?

[Meph]

Specific race yes, but the triggers in the entity have to be met. For example a certain amount of dwarves or fortress wealth. The siege hits instantly when you run the script. All others have a change of appearing, but sieges do work flawlessly.

I wish.

or specific race to attack?

Oh yeah. The version I posted in my modder's scripts topic has that.

[Roses]

I'm not sure, but I think transformed critters giving birth may crash the game.

However! trueTransformation may prevent this. If it does, coooool beans.

Actually, it looks like it doesn't.

In the arena, the kittens were messed up in terms of names and group affiliation (ie, immediately attacked their mothers, who belonged to group 1).

However, in fortress mode they did not, and appear normal.

Also:

Blargh. I'd love to test this but I can't get trueTransform to work. Do I have to do something special to enable it? There's a dll of the right name in the plugins folder, but the example syndrome doesn't work. Does it really have to be male ducks? I deleted ducks out of the game (it's Zelda). What if I used a male rabbit? Does it not work in the arena?

It seems truetransform ONLY works in fortress mode  .
_____________________________________________________________________________
So, yeah.

Looks like reaction created creatures are a go!

...Once someone takes this proof-of-concept and fleshes it out into a real DFHack plugin...

Does this mean we could transform a Dwarf into some creature, have that creature give birth, and then transform back into the same Dwarf but have the baby be a member of the civilization?

[Putnam]

Oh, derp. I remember that when I was playing Dwarf Fortress for once (the Dragon Ball mod), I had a saiyan give birth on the full moon--when all saiyans are Oozaru. She gave birth to two golden oozaru, who then proceeded to kill half the fortress. (They have [CRAZED] as a tag). Not sure if they'd be hostile without the CRAZED tag, though

[Sorcerer]

How about a reaction with a more controlled output, would that be possible?
So instead of having a reaction with:

   [PRODUCT:80:1:STUFF:RUINED_STUFF:NONE:NONE:NONE]
   [PRODUCT:20:1:STUFF:REFINED STUFF:NONE:NONE:NONE]

you would have a reaction output which actually has a 20% chance of getting one item and 80% of getting the other.

Since DFHack can prospect at embark screen, is it possible to create a custom search script for embark? One that would take more parameters than the official one.

Since DFHack can prospect at embark screen, is it possible to create a custom search script for embark? One that would take more parameters than the official one.

What exactly would you want to search for?

[Lav]

Oh, there are plenty of factors which I'm looking for time to time, depending on what kind of fort I'm planning to build.

Sand (often requested).
Specific minerals or layer stones.
Vegetation density.
Tree density.
Cliffs.
Specific types of terrain (glacier, desert, moist broadleaf forest, lake, sea etc).
River size.
River convergence.

I'm pretty sure some people could add their own suggestions, there were plenty of ideas for embark finder improvement through the years.

Ideally, such a tool could support logical operators, or alternatively allow the user to assign weights to different search parameters.
