[0.14.21] game.get_event_handler doesn't work

[zx64]

My understanding of the documented behaviour is that this snippet should work:

Code: Select all

script.on_event(defines.events.on_tick, function() end);
game.print(tostring(game.get_event_handler(defines.events.on_tick)))

Instead, you get the error "Unknown custom input name: 0" thrown (the 0 comes from value of defines.events.on_tick)

(as an aside, I think this method should be on the LuaBootstrap object instead for symmetry with where you register the event handler - it would be a breaking change but I'm not sure if anything is using it because of the above issue anyway)

Fixed for 0.15 and moved into "script".

Although your example won't work since you're going to be printing the address of a closure (which is what the method returns).

Thanks, yeah, the example was just the bare minimum to do "something" with the result.
