I know there is a script for make legendary, but how would I make a script to make a skill set to 0? I don't want my military to have civvie skills, because then they don't look as neat all lined up in a row. Also, would setting that skill to zero make them a peasant? Or would you have to make a separate script to change their profession type?

Removing all their skills does make them a peasant, yes.

Here's a snippet that should work to remove all skills from all dwarves in play.  As usual, it can be easily modified to work with a single dwarf.

Spoiler: remove_all_skills.lua (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

-- Remove all skills for all dwarves
-- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
function BreathOfArmok(v)
unit=v
if unit==nil then
print ("No unit available!  Aborting with extreme prejudice.")
return
end

local skills=unit.status.current_soul.skills
for index,skill in ipairs(skills) do
   skill:delete()
end
skills:resize(0)
print ("The foul breath of Armok has engulfed "..unit.name.first_name)
end
-- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
for _,v in ipairs(df.global.world.units.all) do
if v.race == df.global.ui.race_id then
BreathOfArmok(v)
end
end

Haha, I like the way you give the user info on what the program's doing.

Will this change their profession to peasant automatically, or will that require another skill update. To show you what I mean: if you used make-legendary to change a peasant into a miner, would it call him a miner from the second you ran the script, or would it take another skill check to change his profession?

Just looking at the code, I strongly suspect he'd have to gain experience or do a job of some fashion for the game to recognize the change.

Do you know a way to change that?

[Telgin]

Offhand, no, but it's probably an enum field in the unit struct that can be set.  I'm at work right now so I can't really fiddle with it, but in theory it's doable without much modification to the script.

Yep, in the form I posted, this is accurate.  If the unit has a profession, and you remove all their skills, they will become a peasant (as an announcement) only after an additional update.  I've seen this happen (almost immediately) after a change of personality, preferences and attributes, but I don't know what the real/proper trigger is.
The profession update also seems to happen about one in-game month after a change in skill, typically.  To see this, you can embark with a starting seven that have skills allocated from the embark preparation screen, run remove_all_skills.lua, and then wait a month.  You'll see a/some/all dwarves be reduced to Peasants, as an announcement, after that in-game month has passed.

I tried this script and it removed all skills from all adult dwarves. WTF?

Almost like... it was meant to do that, eh?  And is the first line in the code acting as a description, which is displayed when you see the tool listed in 'ls' ... 

Ok, to have a single dwarf changed to a Peasant immediately (without an announcement), you can use:
--
EDIT:  I removed the code.  I'll put in a new post when I have time to test it properly.
--
Again, this doesn't address the problem of triggering the announcement and background check that would trigger it normally, but it does what you wanted, tahujdt.

How can I make it target an individual dwarf?

How can I make it target an individual dwarf?

I don't have time to separate that out today, but I strongly encourage you to look at the script and try cutting it out yourself.  LUA is a well documented and syntactically pleasant language, compared to some.  You can look at my individual-dwarf-affecting scripts on the wiki as a guide.
If you or someone else hasn't done that sometime between now and later in the week, I should have time in a few days and will post it then.

[Sutremaine]

How would you do this for individual skills? It bugs me that any XP at all in a skill means that it stays on the dwarf's skill list forever.

This should do it i guess? completely untested, and it'll try and wipe the skills for anything selected, even a dog so may blow up(crash your game) will prolly be cheesy if used on an FB...

This script will remove all skills, but also the ability to assign tasks to the dwarf in question.
