You can copy and paste from the DFhack window. just right click the title bar, and do edit->mark.

... or use "dfhack-run prospect"

btw instead of running scripts by typing them by handyu can add them to tools of dfusion.

or if you go advance and make a folder for them and go into the main dfusion init to link the folder with the rest of dfusion. that what I did way back in dfusion was standalone

How am I supposed to use the liquids command? DFHack says I must have my cursor in-game, but then I cannot enter in the command in DFHack. Is there a simple way to do this I am missing?

Not your mouse cursor, your X cursor

I'm having bit of a problem with autobutcher-namely I can't get it to work at all. How do I use it?(I've followed the steps in the readme, but I still can't do it)

Hm, weird. If you followed one of the examples (1. set target count for a race, 2. put that race onto the watchlist, 3. start autobutcher) it should work. By default it´s set to run ca. once per minute, so you might not see an effect right away, though.

But it´s possible that the latest updates somehow killed it, I didn´t have the time to play more than a short while since Toady introduced the minecart stuff. I´ll look into it later today. Anybody else having problems with autobutcher and/or autonestbox?

No, both work mostly fine for me and I've been poking at them fairly aggressively.  I have run into autonestbox trying to move nested birds, though, so the logic to avoid that may not be working correctly.

Also, I think it's safe to autonest trained but not yet domesticated egglayers.  Even if they break training they'll still remain nested.  The problem comes when you autonest egglayers who were previously war creatures.  Those will not remain nested and will instead attack anyone in the vicinity.  I'm not sure how to test for that, though.

Is there a way to remove or kill single units with DFhack?

You can always use the liquids command to drop magma on them.

Or if they're particularly persistent, drop magma and water on them.

They are undead - I placed magma on them, and they became a living existing torch, running around and setting the whole map on fire.
I do not know where they came from - i have no evil biome, nor is a tower nerby my embark.

Undead burn in magma, too. They just take more damage before they die. You can seal them off with obsidian walls (using liquids), then pour magma from above. Currently dfhack has no easy "kill creature" function... I´ve read that setting the blood amount to zero works, but for that you need lua or direct memory hacks and I´m not sure if it will even help against undead.

Thank you, both.

[PK1312]

okay actually it would appear I have no folder called scripts. The only thing in my hack folder is "plugins" and those are all DLL files, not lua, and dropping it in there doesn't allow it to run. Neither does making my own script folder and dropping it in there.

Take latest DfHack from first post. It definitely has "script" folder.

Oh, jeez. This is what I get for using the lazy newb pack, I suppose. Thanks for putting up with me. Now I no longer have to wait several hours for strand extraction

Sorry..my english = very little linguistic ability
And this is my first reply with the help of (google translation)

I have some ploblem with LUA.
I copy somewords from (vjek:Reply #1565 on: May 23, 2012, 05:55:53 pm)
//I don't know how to use function of forum,sorry.

from elevate_physical.lua:
function elevate_unit(demigod)
{}
end
local opt = ...
local demigod = 2600

if opt then
   demigod = opt
end

elevate_unit(demigod)

I checked a lot of information ,but I didn't know how {local opt = ...} worked.
If enter like :
      [DFHack]# lua elevate_physical.lua 3000
Then opt = 3000 so demigod =3000.

But I want to learn :how can I pass two variables
Is it like :
      [DFHack]# ***.lua 2300 3000 ？？
And how can I get these two variables?

 ...I find another way to do it :      local n2=Console.lineedit("second number:")
Is there a way to do it easier?

Code: [Select]

function tools.dead(unit)
if unit==nil then
unit=getCreatureAtPos(getxyz())
end
print("which flag")
unit.flags1.dead=true
end
tools.menu:add("dead",tools.dead)
the bit about flags is on dfusoin's utility page on the wiki.

That's a pretty good way to make it interactive, but if you want it to accept an array of values, then you'll have to use an array!   Martin mentioned he had done this already, so it may be worth PM'ing him to see what he's written and if he's willing to share it with you.

I'm busy for the rest of the week, but I could investigate next week and write up a version that would accept a range of values.

However, if you want to use a particular set of values, you could always change it so you pass it a single keyword, or a single number:  IF that string is the input, THEN use this template of attributes or traits.  IF a different string, THEN use a different template, and so on. 

I'm not exactly sure what your end goal is, I'm just guessing, but those are some ideas.
