same thing

I must have broken the parameter, that'll be fixed in a day or two.

[Urist McCoder]

cool

I must have broken the parameter, that'll be fixed in a day or two.

Is this going to find its way into DFHack r3, or would I need to package this inside a mod that uses it?  Would you prefer me to direct people to download it separately?

I'd rather call a "standard" script and excise as much as possible from the mod-specific scripts I'm using.  The mod-specific logic can be used to construct appropriate parameters for spawn-unit (there are 48 different possibilities, basically because I'm a glutton for punishment).

Hopefully that would be in a future version of dfhack once its bugs are taken care of, there is also a few things missing with orientation flags and probably the noble screen too.

Thanks.

It just so happens that I'm using the script to spawn genderless non-sentient creatures, so those bugs wouldn't affect the bugs I'm spawning

'die' command takes a long time to shut down. Why is it better to allow it to than just killing the process? What is it that dfhack must do before releasing the thread?

[lethosor]

"die" exits immediately and shouldn't be calling any exit handlers. It could take longer to exit depending on how much memory DF is using, but not too long.

That can't be right. What does it print? If it doesn't print anything then reaction-trigger isn't firing.

[Urist McCoder]

no it prints point your pointy thing somewhere

[expwnent]

Then you probably typed it in wrong because print-args doesn't work that way.

where am I supposed to put modtools/reaction-trigger -reactionName CREATE_AUTOMATON -command [ devel/print-args -race AUTOMATON -position [ \\LOCATION ] ] I put it in onLoad.INIT

That is the right place, but make sure it is the ONLY reaction-trigger tied to that reaction.  Only one will trigger.

[Urist McCoder]

I'm sorry  I forgot to put it in, now it prints
