Nope, can't find the kill command in dfhack. Do you have a fancy plugin installed for it? There's "die" but of course that's just used to stop the Dwarf Fortress process without saving.

This post may have what you need.

In particular....

unit=dfhack.gui.getSelectedUnit()
unit.flags1.dead=true

which, when I just tried it in 34.10, killed a dwarf instantly, and removed the corpse, too.  This may or may not work on undead, but it would appear to be a step in the right direction.
This is *dangerous* to use. It can end up causing the siege status to get stuck if you use it on invaders. Generally, it's better to encase creatures in obsidian (which can be done with the liquids command). This is also why DFHack doesn't have a kill command - it's just too easy to get that stuff wrong.

Why didn't I think of that? Egg and my face are in alignment.

If I wasn't so butch and manly I'd give you a tender kiss. But I am. Ahem.

Cor, it does? I've scoured the readme and can't find the command. Off the top of your head can you recall what it is?

Hi there guys, forum newb here asking for a little help. I've got a clump of dirty big demons banging on my lower door looking dead menacing and murderous and I'm quite eager for them to drop dead all of a sudden and not kill my precious dorfs to a smeary paste. Is there any way I can use an .lua to hover the cursor over them and make the pain go away? I've been using the above scripts by vjek to excellent effect so far.

I used to use Runesmith for such emergencies, but I understand the lovely author is in the final phases of Uni study (good luck by the way). Yes, I am a dirty big cheaty cheat.

*gets down on knees in hope*
