createitem does not accept unit id afaik.

[Meph]

Ah, yeah. Its a ruby script, not a lua. I should have checked that, before driving myself crazy. -.- I just wanted caste-specific reactions... only a special caste can create items/use the workshop. It would have worked. ^^

It wouldn't be hard to make a lua script that would do what you want. I already have one for weapons, this will create a weapon of a specified type and inorganic.

Code: [Select]

args = {...}

local unit = df.unit.find(tonumber(args[1]))
local mat = args[3]
local mat_type = dfhack.matinfo.find(mat).type
local mat_index = dfhack.matinfo.find(mat).index

local item_index = df.item_type['WEAPON']
local item_subtype = 'nil'

for i=0,dfhack.items.getSubtypeCount(item_index)-1 do
  local item_sub = dfhack.items.getSubtypeDef(item_index,i)
  if item_sub.id == args[2] then
  item_subtype = item_sub.subtype
end
end

if item_subtype == 'nil' then
  print("No weapon of that type found")
  return
end

local item=df['item_weaponst']:new() --incredible
item.id=df.global.item_next_id
df.global.world.items.all:insert('#',item)
df.global.item_next_id=df.global.item_next_id+1
item:setSubtype(item_subtype)
item:setMaterial(mat_type)
item:setMaterialIndex(mat_index)
item:categorize(true)
item.flags.removed=true
item:setSharpness(1,0)
item:setQuality(0)
dfhack.items.moveToGround(item,{x=unit.pos.x,y=unit.pos.y,z=unit.pos.z})

What I am trying to do is make this one guy (you only get one of his kind) to lead his minions on raids. He commandeers them and has to do the reactions. Its tools I want to use. I could make unique weapons for this, as well, with some unique inorganics.

The arguments for you script are "WEAPON" "SUBTYPE" "MATERIAL" "LOCATION" ?

createitems is a ruby script. createitem is a C++ plugin.

[SYN_CLASS:script][SYN_CLASS:\UNIT_ID][SYN_CLASS:ITEM_WEAPON_DAGGER_LONG][SYN_CLASS:IRON] will make an iron dagger.

Its possible to change it to tools as well, would just need to change a few lines. (actually I think the only thing you would need to change is 'WEAPON' to 'TOOL' and 'item_weaponst' to 'item_toolst'. Although I am not positive about that)

I will give it a try tomorrow. Thanks for the help. Either one is fine, as long as I can create items from units. I might even be able to use this on pets.

Prisoner pet.
Pasture prisoner on workshop.
Run: "Search prisoner"
Has a small chance of activating this interaction on the prisoner.
Has a cannot-target-if-already-affected tag, so only works once per prisoner.
When activated, drops item.

Yeah for strip searches. I think normal people would be very confused when they read this.

EDIT: WORKS

i've seen comments in dfhack about calculating the size of a creature from their age, what's that about?

i thought that the size of a creature could be read from body_size_info.size_cur, or calculated by taking the caste's body size, and then applying the appearance modifiers?

[Bo-Rufus CMVII]

I posted this in another forum, but didn't draw the attention of anyone who knows the answer.

I think I understand the use of the weapon rack for the squad, and can get them to store several of their weapons in it, but I'm not clear on the armor stands, cabinets, and chests mentioned at https://github.com/peterix/dfhack for holding individual equipment.

Do you create a big "armory/barracks" with the weapon rack, then armor stands for each dwarf inside and assign them to the individual dwarves?  Do the cabinets and chests go in their rooms, or under the "umbrella" of their armor stand?

What's the usual setup to take advantage of all the dfhack fixups?

Also... If their schedule specifies no uniform when inactive, do they still "own" their uniform when they're off duty?

I am a complete newb at using dfhack.  All I really want to change in the growth bug.  I have the LNP, but I don't think I'm actually using it--I never copied/renamed folders.  That's okay--I just want my dwarfs and creature to grow to full size.

Okay, I've been reading and trying stuff, let's see if I mess things up or not.

I want to install/use Putnam's fix to the growth problem.

I have created a text file called init.lua and placed it in the df/raw folder and in the folder of my saves.  The content of the text file is

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

--Fixes the body size bug.

local function fixAllCreaturesOfSizeBug()
    for _,unit in ipairs(df.global.world.units.active) do
        r = unit.relations.birth_time - 10 * math.modf(unit.relations.birth_time / 10) --Kurik Amudnil's code; if it's not clear, it sets a creature's birth_time to the nearest multiple of 10 of the previous one.
        if r > 0 then
            unit.relations.birth_time = unit.relations.birth_time - r
        end
    end
end

function automateTheFix()
    fixAllCreaturesOfSizeBug()
    dfhack.timeout(1,"months",automateTheFix) --will this work as it is?
end

automateTheFix()

I've done this based on reading post #3955

Actually, I've got one better. Since I think you're running a succession game right now, you'll want to put it into the save. Save this file as "init.lua" in the save's raw folder (NOT the objects folder, but the top-level raw folder):

Code: (init.lua) [Select]

--Fixes the body size bug.

local function fixAllCreaturesOfSizeBug()
    for _,unit in ipairs(df.global.world.units.active) do
        r = unit.relations.birth_time - 10 * math.modf(unit.relations.birth_time / 10) --Kurik Amudnil's code; if it's not clear, it sets a creature's birth_time to the nearest multiple of 10 of the previous one.
        if r > 0 then
            unit.relations.birth_time = unit.relations.birth_time - r
        end
    end
end

function automateTheFix()
    fixAllCreaturesOfSizeBug()
    dfhack.timeout(1,"months",automateTheFix) --will this work as it is?
end

automateTheFix()

fixgrowthbug.lua would work as the standard name for the non-init version.

and post #4006

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Use the code you've called 'init.lua' as a file called "fixgrowthbug.lua" in hack/scripts, with a dfhack.init entry "fixgrowthbug enable" (is that unecessary now?)

Save the code called "init.lua" into a file called "init.lua" in the raw folder and all of the individual save folders' raw folder.

Question:  Will this fix the growth bug?  If not, how can I do that?  Thanks

Is there a way of storing a single abstract variable in a fort that persists when the game is reloaded?  (Basically merit points for good behavior)

So far I've been trying to do it by creating an invisible custom metal bar that stores the variable as its DIMENSION value, but I was wondering if there's a simpler, more elegant way.  (The number must be capable of being very large).

[Putnam]

You could use general refs

or you could use this

Is there any way to make dead civ members not spawn ghosts in the first place? (I have skeleton civ members, makes no sense that they must be buried/spawn ghosts)

[DrKillPatient]

Hello! I've got DFHack running mostly properly on OSX Mavericks, but Stonesense has some issues. Upon open it via DFHack in the terminal, DF and SS run together for just a moment — I can see my map load — and then both crash. Strangely, it only occurs when I set a different PRINT_MODE in my init.txt. Unfortunately, as I have a Retina display, I can't use PRINT_MODE:2D (I use STANDARD). What can I do here?

[IndigoFenix]

or you could use this

How would I use this?  Can you give a simple example?  Just a script that saves and recalls a variable.
