spawn unit doesn't work in this version.

[Urist McCoder]

Does it work in a previous version? EDIT is there an alternative to spawn-unit?

As a quick-and-dirty fix, try replacing anon_4 with own_interaction and anon_5 with own_interaction_delay

Then it will probably run without errors, though I doubt it will be fully functional.  Those are the replacements I made in a customized version of a spawning script that I use in my mod, which I've since found out that animal training status doesn't survive a save and reload.

Where I found the not-quite-fix: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=138898.msg5371693#msg5371693

I gave porting spawnunit a try but spawned creatures go berserk on reload. I need to give it another look but there is too much stuff on the stove.

Edit: Disregard the comment at the start of the file, it's wrong. Do spawnunit -help to see the arguments.

[Urist McCoder]

I tried changing the anon_4 and anon_5 to own_interaction and own_interaction_delay respectively, but it still does not work.

[Warmist]

Can anyone confirm that eventful adding a reaction to a hardcoded building does not work (correctly)?

It only works with custom workshops. Intended use is that you add reactions based on something (e.g. only if you have important person X or you mined X of Y etc...). Adding reactions to hardcoded workshops is um... a lot of work (for anyone who wants to do it: interpose ALL the workshop types).

[milo christiansen]

The thing is the documentation claims that it should work. Adding a reaction to, for example, the masons shop works enough to have it show up, but it stays red all the time.

[Urist McCoder]

Is there any other way to spawn a unit other then using the spawn-unit script?

[milo christiansen]

No, but some mods used a creature transformation to get something similar.

[Urist McCoder]

I know that was the plan until I found out about the spawn-unit script, do we have any idea when it will be fixed?

If I can find some info about what changed with hostility and site populations on 0.40.x I can fix the last remaining kinks. That's the hard part because I tried unfolding creature, soul and hist figure data and did not find the issue.

I am not sure what you mean, this script keeps throwing up this error when ever I do spawn-unit human

Warmist is supposed to be working on it I think.
