.. dfhack-tool::
    :summary: Automatically follow productive dwarves.
    :tags: untested fort interface

Usage
-----

::

    enable spectate
    spectate set <setting> <value>
    spectate enable|disable <feature>


When enabled, the plugin will automatically switch which dwarf is being
followed periodically, preferring dwarves on z-levels with the highest
job activity.

Changes to plugin settings will be saved per world. Whether the plugin itself
is enabled or not is not saved.

Examples
--------

``spectate``
    The plugin reports its configured status.

``spectate enable auto-unpause``
    Enable the spectate plugin to automatically dismiss pause events caused
    by the game. Siege events are one example of such a game event.

``spectate set tick-threshold 50``
    Set the tick interval the followed dwarf can be changed at back to its
    default value.

Features
--------
:auto-unpause:   Toggle auto-dismissal of game pause events. (default: disabled)
:auto-disengage: Toggle auto-disengagement of plugin through player intervention while unpaused. (default: disabled)
:animals:        Toggle whether to sometimes follow animals. (default: disabled)
:hostiles:       Toggle whether to sometimes follow hostiles (eg. undead, titan, invader, etc.) (default: disabled)
:visiting:       Toggle whether to sometimes follow visiting units (eg. diplomat)

Settings
--------
:tick-threshold: Set the plugin's tick interval for changing the followed dwarf. (default: 1000)

Finalizes spectate update - Fixes for state transitions that were found broken. eg. plugin disabled -> enable auto-unpause feature -> enable plugin (auto-unpause will not truly be enabled; similar transitions were broken) - Adds a commented out lock for if the pause code is ever adopted into the core API, as to enable many mods to use the `World::SetPauseState()` without walking over each other, and in the case of `reveal hell` also be able to avoid needing to set the state every tick in onupdate - Revises the usage docs with `enable\|disable\|set` syntax 2022-10-14 18:02:43 -06:00			`spectate enable\|disable <feature>`

Updates spectate.rst 2022-09-01 18:14:10 -06:00
Implements change requests - removes redundant `if (df::global::ui)` checks; and tested to ensure no segfaults cropped up like in the past times I've removed these - removes useless `if (pause_lock)` pause lock is set when plugin initializes, even if pause lock was left null (since we technically don't need it, and that was the point of the null check) it still would be a useless check (actually an impediment preventing functionality) - removes disabled interpose code - removes lua linkage - updates doc extra: - surrounds user input for tick frequency with `std::abs()` not that we would have ended up with a negative value, but it was probably a typo and this is easier than printing an error or letting it underflow past max int (on most systems) 2022-10-21 00:52:30 -06:00			``spectate enable auto-unpause``
