babies are counted as riding the mothers, I believe.

[PeridexisErrant]

sorry for referring to 0.40.26 still but tele-dwarves kinda cause babies to be abandoned, random babies lying around most of the time.  either they don't hunger/thirst or my absolute laziness waiting for the right phase of game to "be normal" on one of my worlds keeping teledwarf on is having dwarves provide... but they're perfectly fine and even grow up.

Considering the way teledwarf works (by checking every unit on every tick to see if they're pathing, then teleporting them to the path destination should there be one), that doesn't surprise me in the slightest. "Teleporting" here refers to a process where all occupancy flags at the beginning and ending locations are set up properly for the new positions, the teleporting unit's laying-down flag is set as appropriate for if there's a standing creature at the destination, and the teleporting creature's position is set to the destination. Note that none of that accounts for babies, which I have no idea how the game keeps track of babies being held (some sort of general ref?)

0.42.06-alpha1 is up: https://github.com/DFHack/dfhack/releases/tag/0.42.06-alpha1
It contains some more fixes than the builds from yesterday, but the new stuff could also introduce problems that people didn't find earlier, so back things up, report problems, etc.

Thank you kind sir for you awesome work!

Trying to insert a string class value, but getting "Type 'string not found". They're all over the raws, so the structure can't be opaque to anyone. Do I need to add a delimiter, or reference it in some esoteric fashion?

[Rose]

Try using stl;?

[Uzu Bash]

Type 'stl; not found.

Btw, I'm doing this on command line, not lua interpreter. I'm trying to mod a generated reaction so the mod would be effective in a generated world. I need to add strings to a string vector, and I can add any wildly inappropriate value to it, but...not strings?

EDIT: Doh, sorry, I'm doing this in gm-editor, not command line or lua.

How do I use reaction-product-trigger? I suspect it has something to do with my limited understanding of all programming languages that are not java, but I can't find anything on the arguments part of the file that indicates how to tell it which product to cause it to trigger.

Where would typenames be defined? Is there documentation on available types and their structures? It boggles the mind that something as critical to any programming as string types aren't somehow defined in a way that can be referenced by the user.

The issue is with gm-editor not being able to create strings, because its type selection dialog only searches for types of DF data (e.g. when given "viewscreen", it uses "df.viewscreen", but "df.string" isn't a valid type). It would be possible to have it fall back to primitive types (like string, as well as int32_t, bool, etc.), although those are a little trickier to validate.

Would copy/paste be a simple work-around? That would be useful for transferring other data types to other vectors, or duplicating one with values close to the ones desired and then editing it.

[lethosor]

Duplication of elements within a vector would be pretty easy, but copying/pasting elements between vectors would probably be harder than adding support for primitive data types.

Yeah you gotta do the lua interpreter bit to get a string in, I think?

[Rose]

Oops, I was assuming c++

I hadn't even considered it could be Lua or something.

The first step is to decide whether you want reaction-trigger or reaction-product-trigger. reaction-trigger fires scripts when custom reactions complete, and reaction-product-trigger fires once per item produced. If your reaction produces nothing you should use reaction-trigger. If you have a reaction that produces an item with a certain probability then you want reaction-product-trigger. reaction-trigger also cannot give you direct access to the input items or output items.

Code: [Select]

modtools/reaction-product-trigger -reactionName MAKE_CLAY_JUG -command [ devel/print-args "worker id = " \\WORKER_ID ", input items = " \\INPUT_ITEMS ", output items = " \\OUTPUT_ITEMS ]

This should print things when the MAKE_CLAY_JUG reaction produces a clay jug. You can use the same syntax to forward the relevant information to a script you write and then do something more interesting than printing it.

If you have something more specific in mind I can help more.

If someone could upload a small save with a dwarf carrying a baby that would save developer time a bit fixing it.
