l-->(unit) also allows that.

Thanks Putnam and Roses for the info on persistant variables.  Those will be very useful.

Allright, three new questions:

1. How to create a new building/workshop on a given map location?
2. How to read the material composition of a given undug tile?
3. When turning a tile clear by changing the tile type, how to run the call that makes caveins and liquid flow work properly?

(My next project is an extendable and retractable drilling rig for making vertical holes and bringing liquids to the surface more easily than a pump stack.)

[Sutremaine]

Is there a compiled version of cleanconst anywhere?

[IndigoFenix]

Okay, another question:

Is there a way to get the structure type of a variable?

For example, here I'm trying to get a list of inorganic materials found in an area.

Code: [Select]

local block = dfhack.maps.getTileBlock(pos.x,pos.y,pos.z)
if #block.block_events > 0 then

for e=0,#block.block_events-1,1 do
inorganic = df.inorganic_raw.find(block.block_events[e].inorganic_mat)
print(inorganic)
end
end

Only problem is, if there's water or grass in the area, those particular items don't have an inorganic_mat, and I can't get dfhack to simply skip over them, it always crashes.  So I need to put them in an if statement that only allows it to look if the particular item is block_square_event_mineralst, but not grassst or spatterst.  How do I do that?

[Warmist]

The easy way:

Code: [Select]

for id,ev in ipairs(block.block_events) do
  if ev:getType()==df.block_square_event_type.mineral then
  -- do something here
  end
end
Harder way:

Code: [Select]

for id,ev in ipairs(block.block_events) do
  if df.block_square_event_mineralst:is_instance(ev) then
  -- do something here
  end
end


[IndigoFenix]

Ah, that works.

Any idea about the earlier questions?

[Meph]

Maybe use a creature instead of a workshop? I would assume that making it a creature that is teleported and uses interactions for mining would be easier than a workshop.

[Roses]

I've never tried to construct a building with DFHack, but supposidly this can be used to create buildings.

[IndigoFenix]

I've never tried to construct a building with DFHack, but supposidly this can be used to create buildings.

Well, it's a start...but it can't actually construct the buildings by itself, only designate them to be constructed.  It also doesn't seem to construct my custom drill section "workshop", even when I put in the correct type.  I can turn an existing building into one, though.

[Boltgun]

Has the syntax for truetransform changed? Interactions that used to properly set the creature's race/caste in r3 does not seem to trigger in r4 at all. This seems to happen in Meph's walrock mod too.

First I have reaction triggering autosyndrome. It temp transform the worker into an immobile creature and give it an interaction.

The interaction has several syndromes acting as cases depending of the target. They change into 'summoned souls' as they should but afterward it revert to their original form.

I tried removing autosyndrome tags from the reaction's boiling rock, to be sure that there is not issues but the result is the same (well, with more randomness due to no autosyndrome).

Trying with \COMMAND,

Any clue ?

Here's the interaction :

TrueTransform is exactly the same and still works without a problem. I just got a report that said that these newly converted civ members are treated like enemies, even if they are a new creature. I havent tested it myself yet.

Here is an example of a working truetransform interaction. But I am sure that your syntax is correct, its literally the same.

Code: [Select]

For converted prisoners being beaten up it seems that using makeown from master fixes that. At least on my tests it worked :

Sure, right here.

Herp derp, I needed to add 'syndromeTrigger enable' to dfhack.init. Now trueTransform is working.

Is it possible to trigger an event every time a particular map square is crossed by a creature (without checking the occupancy of the square every tick)? Something like an eventful plugin?
