Current masterwork includes forcing migrants, its in the embassy. You  can have a look at that. In essence:

SYN_CLASS:\COMMAND
SYN_CLASS:force
SYN_CLASS:migrants

You dont have to type lua anywhere, but you might need to add a line to the dfhack init, depending on which script you use. Usually just the name is enough, like itemsyndrome.

[Putnam]

Yeah, scripts are treated in the console in a similar way (at least in the front-end) to plugins. Just type the name and there you go. See setfps.

[thistleknot]

What subfolder of dfhack do the lua files go into?

[Putnam]

scripts

[thistleknot]

Ok. Cuz theres a lua folder as well.  Iol try again running them afyer copying to the sripts folder

[thistleknot]

here's some of the problems I've been having

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[DFHack]# forceEvent migrants
forceEvent is not a recognized command.
[DFHack]# force Event migrants
Invalid argument. Valid arguments are caravan, migrants, diplomat, megabeast, cu
riousbeast, mischievousbeast, flier, siege and nightcreature.

It's just force, not forceEvent.

Allows you to force an event. Syntax is simple:
forceEvent siege EVIL forces a goblin siege.
forceEvent siege FOREST forces an elf siege.
forceEvent migrants forces migrants.
forceEvent caravan player forces a caravan from the player's parent civ.

more misses, I'm using both k to highlight a dwarf, as well as going to the civ (c) screen

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[DFHack]# force migrants
Caravan, diplomat and siege require a civ unit to be highlighted.
[DFHack]#

[Putnam]

-.- it still says that, too?

No, you put in the raw ID of the creature or "player". What you want is "force migrants player".

[Corai]

Well, I was having the same problem as Thistle. I did that... Came up with an error.

Spoiler: Question (click to show/hide)

How do you get the text from DFhack without hand typing it? I want to show what i'm getting and it looks complicated.

Spoiler: Errors. I should try this with vanilla and see if I keep getting it... (click to show/hide)

Thanks Thistle!

[thistleknot]

oh, I was confused as to what your spoiler was saying

I had a computer science teacher show me this and I said to him, "you just saved me years of my life!"

in the cmd prompt window, leftclick upperleft corner symbol (with dfhack, it's a little dwarfy guy)
edit - mark

then select your text

DON'T DO ANYTHING NEXT (IF YOU DO, IT UNSELECTS!: don't ctrl-c it or right click it!

again - leftclick upperleft corner symbol
edit - copy

[thistleknot]

Okay, so now I want to do sieges, taken exactly from your example

[DFHack]# force siege EVIL

[DFHack]#

No errors, but no migrants, diplomat or caravan.

Oi! Nevermind! They appeared.

[Meph]

[DFHack]# force migrant players  should be [DFHack]# force migrants. No player, but an extra s on the migrants.

Thistleknot: [DFHack]# force siege EVIL is correct, if your world has a goblin civ with entity ID EVIL. its case sensitive.

[thistleknot]

okay, it could be my mod, but I had to type "force migrants player"
which have all resulted in "no migrants this season"

the evil siege, never got working, but I do have an "EVIL" entity which are goblins
