Neither. They're names of relevant data you can access (using Lua syntax in this case). One option is running "gui/gm-editor" followed by the expression you want, e.g. "gui/gm-editor df.global.world.history.total_powers". (Note that I have not checked that specifically to see how easy it is to hunt down megabeasts, or if that's what you're looking for - this is just one way to access DF data in general from Lua.)

it's possible to just summon every historical being into one spot with fast traveling party manipulation but uhh oh boy hope you have a good pc for doing that.

...Can you share how? I kind of need that for a new force siege script.

You just move an army to your location and fill it with ALL historical figure ids. You can also set army contents to number=100, race=some_race instead.

Edit: use members for hist-fig based ones and/or unk2c for generic ones

Oh, adventure mode? I can't get it to work at all in fort mode.

well you can't fast travel in fort mode I mean unless someone figured out how... well now time to see if you can move a fort.

[Max™]

Moving forts around is possible but weird without all of the links tied in right. There are armies accessible in fort mode but the best way to access them is through the entities[k].armies linkage unless you want to whip up something to sort through the full armies list, going by which entities are likely to send soldiers instead of just scholars and performers around, though being sieged by naked musicians is probably hilarious.

If you are talking about force-siege then yes, i could only get armies to appear in adv-mode. However i remember reading somewhere that someone had luck with army controllers...

[Max™]

Putnam and I were both screwing around with moving armies, if you set the army_controller.pos_x/pos_y in the right spots you can get the army to march to it apparently.

So next: set it to fort position. You might need to mess with civ_id to make it enemy - instant invaders?

I managed to get a siege by teleport+controller-change once. I messed further and the game crashed to just before the first time I did it. I recreated the exact process (I was editing a script to do it) and it didn't work.

I think it needs to enter the tile your for is in on it's own to let df manage the logic of spawning units and so on.

[Rumrusher]

now to see if one could find companion wait armies and be able to send them after sites

[scourge728]

I've noticed that the autodump command seems to be rather...selectivley functional when moving large amounts of objects or corpses/body parts..

[Fleeting Frames]

If you mean "couldn't move <x>" and forbidding the item on the spot, it's because that item was marked for a job (even one nobody had taken yet) already (the forbidding is so you can unpause, pause, unforbid and dump).

[scourge728]

that's good to know, although in the multiple in game years some of those items have been sitting there before I tried this I've never seen any dwarf do anything with them (dorfs being stupid I guess...)

[Fleeting Frames]

More like job manager being stupid somewhere. A common instance with minecarts: Your minecart is deliberately inaccessible, but it has stopped, and job is generated to carry it to route stop - never mind that no dwarf can reach it.

In that case, I find it is best to delete the route.
