I've found a lua script on the web which will allow me to marry two dwarfs, however I am supposed to pass it a unit id.  My search-fu is not revealing to me how to find a dwarf's unit id.  Can anyone tell me?

Answer:  LUA and the command "print(dfhack.gui.getSelectedUnit().id) works.

I usually use the CPROBE command.

sorry for reviving this thread but it asks what i also need to know:

Can someone explain to me what this means? first of all what is LUA, where do i type this stuff? in the df-console or somewhere ingame or what? please help ;-/

im trying to revive dead goblins in an attempt to end the infinite-siege-tag bug but cannot select them so i need their unit ids

First off, it's not LUA. It's Lua.

You need to run the command "lua" to enter the Lua interpreter, followed by "print(dfhack.gui.getSelectedUnit().id)", then "quit" if you want to get back to the DFHack console.

thanks.

now there is still the problem of dead units not being selectable and finding out the unitIDs of dead enemies

[lethosor]

Select them in the 'u'nits list (you don't have to select them in the map for that to work).

Edit: from another thread:

but thats the thing, how do i find out unit ids if i CANNOT select them? thanks

Are you saying that they don't appear in the units list? Are you in the "dead units" tab? It sounded like you were trying to select them in the map earlier.
