…L_RIGHT') added gui.simulateInput(dfhack.gui.getCurViewscreen(), 'STANDARDSCROLL_RIGHT') reason: in the event that the user does not select a unit and the selection is only the labor choices(by default). This line will select the first unit on the list.

I haven't tried it so it may be buggy or non-functional, but there's a bit of code in gui/manipulator that seems to deal with work details, does this help you avoid the UI approach? https://github.com/DFHack/scripts/blob/master/gui/manipulator.lua#L657 |
I think 7 as a default is reasonable compared to 100
Hello ryanbennitt It’s definitely possible to make this run instantly using an interface. However, achieving that would require significantly more code and interactions with variables that I don’t fully understand yet. Yesterday, while working on a different program, I experimented with enabling and disabling the checkbox for all labors. Visually, everything appeared to work correctly, but the dwarves didn’t actually perform the tasks. Because of that, I believe sticking with a true macro is the best option for simplicity. Previously, before using this labor control overlay interface, I relied on a third-party macro tool called VoiceAttack, which I still use for other tasks. Also, if someone runs this program extremely fast say, within 1 frame it does execute successfully, but the checkboxes may appear disabled even though they are actually enabled. I was surprised to see this behavior, but confirmed that if the user exits and re-enters the labor menu, all the labors are indeed selected and locked as expected. This is the path to enable/disable the checboxes: gui/gm-editor df.global.plotinfo.labor_info.work_details[x].flags |
