dfhack.screen.getKeyDisplay(18) means that the interface key with an ID of 18 is displayed as "r" in-game. That key is MOVIE_RECORD, which will only work in the movie [;] menu. You should be passing df.interface_key.KEY_ID to simulateInput(), where KEY_ID is a valid ID listed in interface.txt or "@df.interface_key" in the interactive lua interpreter.

Edit: Also, gui.simulateInput() is a more flexible wrapper around _doSimulateInput, although you'll have to import the gui module (e.g. gui = require('gui')).

Interesting. Then I basically just got lucky it worked with enter. Is there a way to automatically look up a key id? And I wasn't using the gui function because I wanted to manipulate screens that aren't visible or active and I thought that only allowed current screen manipulation

[lethosor]

Both functions take a screen as their first argument, although they should be identical for your purposes.
You'll have to experiment to find most key IDs, although they're typically self-explanatory (searching interface.txt can be helpful). DFHack bindings usually use keys like CUSTOM_F, CUSTOM_SHIFT_R, etc. (which are also used for custom reaction hotkeys in workshops).

Would it be possible for someone to make a quick fix in the building plan plugin by adding the ability to plan for hatch covers? I'd really appreciate it, as I appreciate everything that has been done to make dwarf fortress the best gaming experience I've ever known. Thanks in advance!

I sent a message to Falconne, the author, and he says he doesn't have to build/test environments or the time to do it at the moment and he suggested that I post the request here.

Is there a way to change stress levels through gui/gm-editor? If so, where?

[Putnam]

unit.status.current_soul.personality, IIRC. Maybe it was just in current_soul.

[TheFlame52]

unit.status.current_soul.personality.stress_level

That's pretty deep, no wonder I couldn't find it. It also has the thoughts and personality of the creature, which I've also been looking for. Thanks!

I wonder what all is different between the uh, I think world.history.figures and the stuff under world.units because I messed up trying to use dfusion to make two particular dorfs the parents of a dorflet and she ended up with a random human histfig as her dad, nothing I tried under units let me change it, but I was able to fix it under figures to get the relationships right.

[Putnam]

Not so much what is different as what is the same; they're vectors of two completely different objects.

[Max™]

Good point, but yeah, the historical figures section is what finally let me fix said parent links, also where deities and certain other links can be found.

Had to add the histfig_hf_link_childst to Urist manually but once that was right they react normally and it shows up right in legends:

Previously it had a random human listed as her father, think he might have been dead for twenty something years at that.

Anyone know why this isn't working?

Code: [Select]

modtools/interaction-trigger -suppressAttack -onAttackStr "test for super saiyan" -command [ dragonball/super_saiyan_trigger -unit \\ATTACKER_ID ]
It's suppressing the attack perfectly, but the command isn't going at all.

That looks like the right syntax. I'm not sure. Have you tried testing with devel/print-args?

[Dirst]

During all of this current_soul searching, has anyone happened upon the values required to make a creature into a functioning member of the fort?  When I use warmist's spawn-unit script to make an animal, it's fine for hostile ones but unreliable for friendly ones.  Giving it the player's civ_id will make it appear "Tame" on the units list (and keep it from attacking) but "Not Tame" on the z/Animals list (which prevents it from being a pet) even if I gm-editor its training level.  I recall reading that the creature can revert to hostile when the game is saved and re-loaded, but I haven't witnessed this personally.

Comparing the gm-editor screens for a natural specimen and a spawned specimen hasn't gotten me anywhere, but that's because I'm not familiar with the object model.  If someone can point me to the proper attributes and values, I think I can make the Lua code changes necessary.

The immediate use of proper fort membership would be to enable war-training and such for spawned animals, and I have plans for assigning specific creatures as pets of specific dwarves in a later expansion.

And, it doesn't get said nearly often enough that DFHack and the other third-party tools are awesome and invaluable additions to the DF game and community.

Did you give it the civ_id for both unit.civ_id and unit.status.current_soul.civ_id? I was able to turn animals into tame members that appear as tame both in the units screen and the z/animals. Although this was with already existing animals, and not those spawned by the script. (I also changed all of the unit.animal tokens to -1, not sure what effect that actually has though)

Can I safely upgrade r2-->r3 on Linux just by copying the newer files on top of the current installation?
