Is there a way to maybe dfhack my companions to attack. Everytime I attack someone now my companions just follow and watch. They don't engage at all. Is this a bug?

[Luponius]

Are you sneaking?  Or wrestling the enemy?  Sometimes they chill back when I'm in sneak or wrapping myself around the victim like a rope.

[CptAWatts22]

Nope, I even attacked and then moved out of the way. They aren't even saying "this is my fight too" like they used to

[Rumrusher]

 the thing is who are you attacking? some times it a world gen probably punching a companion's brother thing.
like I kinda find companions as people to tag along to make trips not lonely than literal armymen that you can order to murder.
also dfhacking people to attack each other while doable is pretty tricky to pull off.
also some companions if you recruit them via musical group offer will just run away than join in to fight.

Bravely ran away away.
When danger reared its ugly head.
They bravely turned their tail and fled.
Yes, brave Angtosid turned about
And gallantly they chickened out...
*... fades, accompanied by urgent denials*

you wow us with amazing feet,
Told Tales of playing a musical Treat.
But low and behold your motives unfold,
To fight till we grow cold.
So we play this Flute,
while marching in route,
Now go find a better,lovable, agreeable Brute.

then again they could also NOT see the foe since this game has vision cones on every unit.

in my experience creatures do not have sound detection, as they do not turn toward the sounds of a scuffle. What rumrusher said is p likely, he just isn't looking the right direction when you start a fight.
