hmm is it possible to say send an attack to a spawn unit for the purpose of copying that attack and sending that unit to attack to a far away opponent by teleporting it?
if you need to be adjacent to the opponent you want to mega punch then it should be possible to send a dummy unit to do the blow for you then delete the unit after the assault.

That is basically what I was thinking. Although my idea was to make two dummy units off screen one attacker and one defender, then stimulate the attack and move the wound to the real target. Although it might be better to just teleport the units together attack then teleport back. But yes, you can force an attack action with specified values. I even wrote a script for it, but it's not publish worthy yet

Is there a way to make DF Hack kill a specific entity? I have an annoying glitched out werewolf that won't leave but don't want to kill every werewolf in existence.

Note: I am using Masterwork V6.2.7

Is there a way I can give a unit a syndrome from the console?

Create plants seems to work and I can plant saplings, but trying to grow them just makes them turn into dead saplings.

Is there any way with dfhack to plant actual trees, aka plants that block vision/paths? I'm thinking about naturally grown walls for elves.

EDIT: Unrelated: HFS-Pit seems broken.

Sorry if this is discussed earlier, I only looked back three pages.

I have a fort that crashes on load (the black screen right after the loading progress bars disappear and right before the game proper begins) with DFhack enabled - but loads perfectly fine without DFHack. I'm toggling DFHack on and off through the PyLNP launcher. I've tried menu-saving and loading (I use quicksave a lot, since the game crashes a lot) and that doesn't help. I do have TWBT turned on. Maybe that's the reason? I have workflow turned off, since I've heard that has issues. What logs and such do you need to diagnose this?

This self-extracting save archive should contain the issue (this save is from a succession game).

I'd try disabling TwbT first. If that doesn't work, try running "unload all" before loading the world, which should unload all plugins.

I am probably just missing something, but in the 0.34.x DFHack versions, there was, unless I am very mistaken, a script to assign specific pets to specific entities (it was used by Masterwork, I think). Does it still exist in any form (and, if so, what is the current name)?

Yes, pick your choice among the Add*ToCiv :

Example of use in an onLoad.init.

Many thanks. I'll probably be back with more questions later since I still don't know much about integrating DFHack into mods.

Hey, is there a 'Current version scripts list' floating around anywhere?

Looking for something that would let me switch between units in adv mode & change race and/or skills & attributes.

[lethosor]

Warmist is working on a unit editor that I believe supports skills and attributes (or will in the future).

[scamtank]

A less human-hostile frontend, in any case. Pretty much most of everything or thereabouts are accessible through lua or gui/gm-editor as is, it's just a bitch to alter anything by hand.
