So, I had something in mind for an enemy. I want to work it out as well as work on the mod itself with anyone willing to help me (considering I'm a bit new to Lua still.)

What I had in mind is an enemy that isn't interested in actually the survival of the planet but rather doing it to torment you ...

I'll go be ashamed in a corner right now... Sorry about that.

The function gets called in 3 cases, when it is destroyed, mined or on build... I am guessing, since it happens when I put anything down it will have to do with the on build.

function OnBuiltEntity(_Event)
local _Entity = _Event.createdentity
if IsSmartSplitter(_Entity) then
...

Which get called ...

Error 3:

I've tried looking it up and can't seem to find anything about it since most refer to the global version of this error.
control.lua:228: attempt to index local '_Entity' (a nil value)

As for the code from line 227 to 229:

function IsSmartSplitter(_Entity)
return (_Entity.name ...

Sadly enough I am getting a new error code now, one that I had to fix before, but this time it seems to be an issue somewhere else...

Unknown key:"Error while running the on_init: .../control.lua:24:attempt to index global 'glob' (a nil value)"

Here is the code that should give the error ...

Thank you, I must've had C++ stuck in my mind somewhere, that did fix it.

And I missed the documentation completely. I'll be working my way though it now!

Thanks again!

It was my original idea for a mod. I am currently working on a different one, but I still wouldn't mind working this out.

I'm still learning to code in Lua and mod this game, but my original game involved making a monorail train.
Faster than the regular train, more fragile though but most important ...

Greetings,

I've been playing this game since I bought it on Steam about a day or two ago and gotten completely addicted to it.

Seeing as I'm studying to become a programmer, I thought I'd give modding this game a try, yet I seem to have hit a wall.

For some reason, try to generate a new map or ...
