1.0
Initial release

Could this be done automatically, to remove widowed/dead spouses?

Could this be done automatically, to remove widowed/dead spouses?

Sure, that will need some event to be enabled, either onDeath or periodic, I hope it will not hurt performance. But the script needs some testing, i am not 100% sure how legends mode and history events overall will behave after this. Perhaps some more data must be added to the world on marriage.

[Meph]

Thats pretty cool

Maybe I can even adapt it to supress romantic engaments between Warlocks and their ghouls/zombies/skeletons, although I always found them to be a bit fun.

Cant you just change orientation for those ghouls and zombies so they are 100% asexual? That would be more natural, so you dont need to delete the relationships over and over. Or target orientation does not affect falling in love in DF?

[Meph]

Oh yes, I can do that now in 40.x. Masterwork is still on 34.11, because lots of stuff requires dfhack scripts that dont exist in the new version.

Cant you make their caste genderless? Or that does not matter in 34.11 in terms of forming relationships?

AFaIK histfig links and relations section of units did not change in 40.x, script should work with 34.11

When I was modernizing warmist's spawn script for my own mod, I came across some attributes that were anonymous (UNK1, UNK2, etc.) in 0.34 that finally got names in 0.40.  But the overall structure does seem remarkably stable.

Updated the script. Now it accepts more arguments, and that allows you to force marriage and divorce without using the GUI. So I hope the script is useful for modding now.

I'm getting this error message whenever I try to run the GUI:

[ptb_ptb]

Did you have a dwarf selected before running it?

[Raidau]

I'm getting this error message whenever I try to run the GUI:

I cant reproduce this... Are you using any mods? Or may be not the latest version of the script? What unit do you select?

It should be. In theory people can run a reaction now to target the worker, yes? How would you go about selecting the second target though?

It's easy enough to get the worker divorced, but how would you determine who the worker marries in case of a forced marriage?

1. Yes, "All Civs Mod" (only does raw changes to allow playable humans and elves)
2. It should be the latest version (I used the link provided)
3. Male dwarf, either through the units menu, or using "k" and hovering over the unit; both result in that error (EDIT: if it matters, the dwarf has a lover, which is who I am trying to have him marry)

Well, its all up to you to get ID of the second unit with your script
