[Urist McDwarfFortress]

I have a dwarf who has been in my hospital for months. It says he is on fire, but he's been "burning" for months, and it doesn't seem to affect him. I've tried dumping water on him, and that doesn't work. Most of his clothes are not on fire, but his cave spider silk trousers and his yak leather cloak are "burning" although they don't burn up either. He's lying on a wooden bed, but that doesn't catch fire either.

Any ideas what is going on?

only thing i can think of his his fat is still burning. use dfhack to stabilize temps?

[Tirion]

He's stuck, kind of. If you save and reload, he'll die. Unless maybe if he's in (shallow...don't drown him) water at that moment... it's worth a try.

Nope. I've saved and loaded twice, and he's still going.

use dfhack to stabilize temps?

What command is that?

I have to ask... is temperature disabled in the init file by any chance?

Nope. Temperature is on.

That didn't work either.

Okay. Well what I did when I had an issue like this was mark the burning items on the dwarf for dumping and then used autodump destroy. This removed the clothing from said dorf and they were free to go and haul stone again.

Well, that seems to have worked... at least, he's not marked as being on fire.

Now he's sitting (standing?) on a bed in the hospital with "no job." No one will diagnose his multiple injuries. I deconstructed the bed he was on, and a dwarf came along and put him in the next bed over, but he's still not "resting" and no doctor will touch him.

There are some medic and heal scripts out there.

uhm

Code: [Select]

# Mark a unit as requiring a medic
selected = df.unit_find()

if selected == nil
   puts "You must select a dwarf first"
else
   puts "Marking '#{selected.name}' as needing a medic"
   selected.health.flags.rq_diagnosis = true
   selected.health.flags.needs_healthcare = true

   # This is normally set if dwarf can't walk,
   selected.health.flags.needs_recovery = true
endtry that one
and if no one will tend him, try this one to heal him

Code: [Select]

-- Repairs all health issues except for syndromes and severed limbs.
local unit=dfhack.gui.getSelectedUnit()
if unit then
print("Erasing wounds...")
while #unit.body.wounds > 0 do
unit.body.wounds:erase(#unit.body.wounds-1)
end
unit.body.wound_next_id=1

print("Refilling blood...")
unit.body.blood_count=unit.body.blood_max

print("Resetting status flags...")
unit.status2.limbs_stand_count=unit.status2.limbs_stand_max

a bit late as a note, but the way fire works currently is to cause bleeding through melting fat (iirc). If you have a very thin dwarf who survives having his fat melted, you then have a fire resistant dwarf.

Yeah, I have a healing script which I eventually just used on him and he got up and carried on like normal. I always hate cheating though, even if it is to fix a bug. But on the other hand, he's now one of only 5 adult dwarves left in the fort (not counting a couple insane vampires sealed up in the old mayor's office). So I kinda need him.

I figured there had to be a reason you were trying so hard to save one guy. Glad it worked out for you.
