The string "false" is incorrect. It should be:

Code: Select all

player.selected.minable = false

oh weird I had problem in some place with passing false directly and setting it as a string helped.

But yeah that worked, thanks!

hi, trying to use entity.minable with player.selected to disable an entity from being mined. The api say its a read/write variable, but I can only read, changing it does nothing. here a simplified version of my code, that you can paste in a control.lua to test it should turn any entity that you're p...

The raven mod doesn't have this problem with the shadow, can't you do it the same way?

turn out the hardness won't do it, since I would have to reduce the speed of the mining tool to close to nothing for this to work and that would defeat the purpose of my mod.

Fixed the documentation for 0.14.2. Any entity can have "minable" property, which is table that can contain: mining_time, result/results, mining_particle, mining_trigger and hardness Mining tool has property speed. As I understand it, mining progress is multiplied by (speed - hardness), a...

it's not the damage, and there really nothing else in the doc about hardness or how it work beside setting a ressources hardness.. so what am I looking for??

so it's the damage that the mining-tool deal that decide what hardness it can mine?? how does the math work?

Or you could check the `player.selected` entity only, store its reference and make it minable again once player removes cursor from it. Still would be weird in multiplayer, where one person could prevent the other from mining stuff by looking at the same thing. That might actually work really well ...

How do to set what the max hardness a mining-tool can mine? Can't seem to find anything on that in the doc.

also building are like 0.2 hardness so that wouldn't really work either way..

Another option would be the ability to define which categories/groups of things a mining tool can mine. I don't know if there's already some way to do this? There's `hardness` property of the resources, if tool is not hard enough, then it can't mine that resource. Trees and other default entities h...

oh nice, completely missed that, thanks!

As for your other comments: just set the entity to not minable to begin with if the player shouldn't be able to mine it.

But I wan't those entity to be mineable, just not by that particular mining-tool

Hi, The api clearly say that on_preplayer_mined_item fire when the player start mining something "Called when the player starts mining something" http://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/events.html#on_preplayer_mined_item Yet it actually fire on the same tick # as on_preplayer_mined_item, right...

Use on_put_item if you are holding an item, but chances are you have it set as a mining-tool and if thats the cause then you could try to change the cursor_stack portion to get the weapon inventory. Not sure if on put item triggers in this case though script.on_event(defines.events.on_put_item, fun...

nope haven't found anything like that

I don't know if it's working as intended or bugged but I remember trying to use it to set mineable to false and it wasn't working. Just tryed again and yeah it's not working, the entity is mined regardless. And I logged the tick id and it's the same for both call, so they are executed one after the...

on_preplayer_mined_item is actually the whole problem, it's not what everyone thing it is.. It's not triggered when you start mining something, it's triggered when you finish mining right before the entity is pulled from the ground, so it's triggered probably in the same tick as on_preplayer_mined_i...

But I thought of something while writhing this.. maybe I could make the entity that are not tree, around the player (in it's data.raw.player.player.reach_distance), temporarely non minable .. entity.mineable is a write/read so that should work. It won't work well with multiplayer and the true-long-r...

I've not tried this, but can't you just set the 'result' property of the 'minable' table in the entity / resource prototype? https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=31277 It's that I don't want to change the result for every entity of that kind, just for that one time when you mine som...
