ok so ended up writing a script for checking on armies that roam the world map ... through nicknaming a unit and tracking the army through that.
this possibly means in adventure mode one could say edit the army controller and mess with the army orders.
and probably set up visitors that could show up to the fort or create sieges from guards or roaming locals.
function getArmyAtName()
for k,v in pairs(df.global.world.nemesis.all) do
if v.figure.name.nickname=='DFCAT' then
print(k)
local Cat=df.global.world.armies.all
for k1,v1 in pairs(Cat) do
if v1.members==nil then break else
for Del,ete in pairs(v1.members) do
if ete.nemesis_id==v.id then
print(k1)
end
end
end
end
end
end
end
getArmyAtName()
hopefully I can use this as a stepping stone for figuring out how to do fort mode raids in adventure mode...
edit: ok so made two scripts that use this one
a recruit script that grabs anyone that has a nemesis to join the army in waiting
function getxyz() -- this will return pointers x,y and z coordinates.
local x=df.global.cursor.x
local y=df.global.cursor.y
local z=df.global.cursor.z
return x,y,z -- return the coords
end
function getItemAtKPos(x,y,z) -- gets the item index @ x,y,z coord
--local x,y,z=getxyz() --get 'X' coords
local vector=df.global.world.item.all -- load all items
local kickpos=df.global.world.units.active[0].pos
for i = 0, #vector-1 do -- look into all items offsets
local curpos=vector[i].pos --get its coordinates
local cx=curpos.x
local cy=curpos.y
local cz=curpos.z
if cx==kickpos.x and cy==kickpos.y and cz==kickpos.z then --compare them
return vector[i] --return index
end
end
--print("item not found!")
return nil
end
function getCreatureAtPos(x,y,z) -- gets the creature index @ x,y,z coord
--local x,y,z=getxyz() --get 'X' coords
local vector=df.global.world.units.all -- load all creatures
for i = 0, #vector-1 do -- look into all creatures offsets
local curpos=vector[i].pos --get its coordinates
local cx=curpos.x
local cy=curpos.y
local cz=curpos.z
if cx==x and cy==y and cz==z then --compare them
return vector[i] --return index
end
end
--print("Creature not found!")
return nil
end
function getArmyAtName()
for k,v in pairs(df.global.world.nemesis.all) do
if v.figure.name.nickname=='DFCAT' then
print("Nem",k)
local Cat=df.global.world.armies.all
for k1,v1 in pairs(Cat) do
if v1.members==nil then break else
for Del,ete in pairs(v1.members) do
if ete.nemesis_id==v.id then
print("Army",k1)
return k1
end
end
end
end
end
end
end
local horse=getCreatureAtPos(getxyz())
local nem=df.global.world.history.figures[horse.hist_figure_id].nemesis_id --dfhack.units.getNemesis(horse)
local NeArmy=getArmyAtName()
df.global.world.armies.all[NeArmy].members:insert("#",{new=true,nemesis_id=nem,})
and here's the script for moving the station army around which works wonders for nicknaming a hostile bandit member and luring the bandits into a goblin patrol
function getArmyAtName()
for k,v in pairs(df.global.world.nemesis.all) do
if v.figure.name.nickname=='DFCAT' then
print("Nem",k)
local Cat=df.global.world.armies.all
for k1,v1 in pairs(Cat) do
if v1.members==nil then break else
for Del,ete in pairs(v1.members) do
if ete.nemesis_id==v.id then
print("Army",k1)
return k1
end
end
end
end
end
end
end
local Ned=getArmyAtName()
for k,v in pairs(df.global.world.armies.all) do
if v.flags[0]== true then
print("ArmyOrders Station"," Moving Stationed group To Adv Position")
print("id",k,"X position",(v.pos.x),"y position",(v.pos.y))
df.global.world.armies.all[Ned].controller.pos_x=v.pos.x
df.global.world.armies.all[Ned].controller.pos_y=v.pos.y
end
end
well I could somewhat cross off controlling armies on the list of stuff I wanted to do in DF through DFhack.
