I'd like to create a unit on the surface about 1/4 of the way from the top left corner of the map.

What would be the best way using a lua script to find the coordinates of that location?

Code: [Select]

local x,y,z=dfhack.maps.getTileSize()

then divide x and y by 4

z you'll have to figure out in slightly more complicated ways

[pantsentranced]

Thanks!

Any thoughts on how to figure out the z?

That was really the part that was stumping me.

How exactly does the extra butcher object tags work? I'm trying to have a unit drop a chain on butcher, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Thanks!

That was really the part that was stumping me.

I would start from the highest z you got from Putnam's trick and keep ticking downward until the dfhack.maps.getTileType(pos) is no longer open space.  You are then either on the ground, in a liquid, or in a tree.  Handling the special cases will take a bit more work.

(Note that getTileType wants an array with elements "x", "y" and "z".  There is probably a xyz2pos function but I'm not at a machine right now where I can look it up.)

[Putnam]

xyz2pos(x,y,z), in fact.

How is this?

Turn this

      [REAGENT:D:1:MATRESS:NONE:NONE:NONE]
into this (presuming your custom items have IDs like this)

So I was working on a interaction that converts enemies into a pet for your own faction (basically I want them to be trainable pets).
The interaction turns the affected creature into a new caste with changed propierties ([PET], [TRAINABLE], etc...).
So far everything worked fine except for the fact that the merchants I attacked were still considered as merchants and thus were not shown on the animal screen.

So my question is: Can you change the factions/hostility of other creatures with an interaction/syndrome?

I can apply [CRAZED] and thing like that just fine, so it is possible to catch them in cages, but in the end they still belong to their own faction.

Thanks!

[Sver]

I don't think it's possible with regular interactions. Maybe with a dfhack script, but I don't know much about it.

[Dirst]

I don't know how it works, but the Succubus mod has something that converts enemies to your civ.

I've looked into it and like Sver said:

it is done with dfhack. Too bad, it's just this one thing that's missing...

[Meph]

I know that Toady nerfed undeads. Less smart and all that.

Can they still do interactions?

[Sver]

Quicktested on arena. Seems they still do. If the required bodypart is intact, indeed.

[Meph]

Interesting. I just made a civ of necromancers. Every member can resurrect corpses, but with a long delay. If that delay is re-set if they die and get animated, their sieges might be near-unstoppable.

[Sver]

Well, you can make necromancers non-reanimatable. After all, they're already undead when "alive".

Or not. Crushing risen dead to the pulp is always a solution for the player, so it's really all in their hands.
