What does Dfusion's power up command do? It appears to be both opaque to googling, as well as not listed in the readme.

Boosts the selected dwarf's skills to legendary. All of their skills, even ones they don't have any experience in.

Does anyone know if simply changing an items material index will change all of the combat calculations and such, or is there more that needs to be changed?

The item's weight and sharpness don't auto-update, which matters if the new material has a different density or max_edge.




On another topic, can I call non-script DFHack commands, specifically "cls" (clear screen) from within a (lua) script?

[Warmist]

No, or at least not that i know.

[IndigoFenix]

I'm having some trouble with structures and enums...

Can someone explain how to do 2 things (in lua, preferably):
1. Determine the death cause of a creature.  I've found df.global.world.deaths.all, but how do I use it?  Preferably finding out if it was a slaughtered animal,
2. Set an enum item - specifically, I'm trying to set RevertWildTimer, found in misc_trait_type in the units file.

[Meph]

I dont know if you know the script, but there is a "deathcause.rb" included. (not lua, yes, but maybe it helps.)

I looked at that.  Doesn't help me, I need to get the variables into lua, and I can't figure out how to find them.

Um, so how would I go about using this?  I'm asking in more of a general sense, I'm looking for the death type in general, slaughter was just an example.
Basically I'm trying to make a system that goes over your fort's history and judges how nice you are to your pets, and make it easier or harder to attract and train animals based on that.  So (for example) if an animal is killed by invaders that's bad, if it dies of starvation that's worse, and if you slaughter it that's the worst.  I know how to iterate over all the animals in the fort's history and check if they're dead, but how would I check the cause of their death?

EDIT: Oh, I found the problem - slaughtered animals don't show up in the death list, probably because they don't run the usual process of go missing - found dead.  Well, then I could just check and see if they were marked for slaughter at the time of death instead.

[SYNDROME]
[SYN_CLASS:\COMMAND]
[SYN_CLASS:createitem][SYN_CLASS:GOBLET][SYN_CLASS:SLADE][SYN_CLASS:1][SYN_CLASS:\UNIT_ID]I tried to create items with interactions, but it doesnt work. The command should just be "createitem GOBLET SLADE 1", while marking a unit. So that above should work with SyndromeTrigger, but it doesnt. 

[Roses]

You need an item type (like TOY, TOOL, WEAPON, etc...). GOBLET is not a valid item type (at least thats what I gathered from reading this)

[Meph]

Goblet works. I can type that in and spawn a mug. I needed something that has no subtype, because cant use ':' in the syn-classes. DF itself reads the ':' and breaks the syn-class.

[Roses]

Hmm, then I have no idea. It could be that it isn't configured to take the ID from \UNIT_ID, does it give you an error?

[Meph]

It doesnt give an error, which is the weird part. Everything seems fine... but it doesnt create a unit. I guess it expects the pointer, and doesnt like the unit id.
