Well naturally I just started getting back into a scripty mood so I missed that one, and several of them depend on the creature raw so we won't be able to have like nose_length and ear_height due to the ones populated from the creature, but unk_7[0] is height, unk_7[1] is broadness, unk_11 is the creature_mat number for the following tissues, in this case hair (24) for my modded dwarves (440), unk_12 is the hair/hair/sideburn/sideburn/beard/moustache styles, unk_13 is the hair/hair/sideburn/sideburn/beard/moustache style types, unk_14 is tissue length but weirdly spaced so [4] and [6] were hair length, [5] was 0, same for the other tissues, unk_16 is hair/skin/eye colors.

unk_7[0] and unk_7[1] are not height and broadness: they are the first and second body modifiers. As it turns out, those are commonly height and broadness, but you have to look up the caste’s body_appearance_modifier to know for sure. Similarly, to determine nose length and ear height, consult unk_8 with reference to the caste’s bp_appearance.modifiers.

I am not looking for militia commanders, or any other position in particular: I had some numbers which I was pretty sure corresponded to site positions, and in fact they are indexes into the site’s group’s positions.assignments. A pull request is forthcoming. I am not sure how to find the assignment for a given position, but probably I would iterate through that vector, checking each position_id in positions.own until I found the one that matched the position I wanted.

How can I determine site-specific position assignments, like captain of the guard? I can get entity-wide position assignments using historical_entity.positions.assignments, but I can’t find the site equivalent.

It has fixed temperature, so.. um.. temperature/state is always the same.

Clearly. But which state is it always in?

I know that this example is an evil rain and will always be a liquid, but I want a script to determine this automatically for any material.

How can a script get the path to itself? The following seems to work but I would rather not use the internal API if there’s another way.
local function get_path_hither()
  for path, script in pairs(dfhack.internal.scripts) do
    if script.env.dfhack_flags == dfhack_flags then
      return path
    end
  end
end


I’ve done some research on conversation structures. What is the best way to get it into df-structures? (I don’t want to make a pull request because the structures are more complex than I know how to express in XML.)

What uses general_ref_languagest?
