As suggested by kyoshiharu (mod portal), this version includes a remote control equipment item that lets you control your helicopters. Once you place it in your armor grid, a button will appear in the left top corner where you can access the remote gui. It's not yet finished but I'd like some feedba...

Since most of the posts are no longer "read/write access to things that already exist" but new mechanics/properties that require new backing C++ logic I'm going to un-sticky this post and call it good for now. I think it's often difficult to judge wether something requires new logic behin...

Didn't test it personally, but I saw a video of some guys using it on a server with no problems. So I'd say yes.

Oh that's kinda neat. You should make it generic and get it included into stdlib!

If anyone is interested, I was able to achieve the desired result by abusing buttons.
I still think this should be added.

This already exists in the game but can't be used in mods, which is a shame. Please add it, nothing more to say here

The key bindings are set to non-consume, which means they shouldn't block anything. But since we don't live in a perfect world were everything works as expected, its still possible they're causing this behaviour. Let me know what you find out! Also, maybe try a new map without the mod in the first p...

I see, so no event then. That's alright but the reason I brought this up is because I want to be able to control the camera gui elem by using the mouse. Just like the vanilla map view... So could you perhaps build that into the camera?
And what about the rest of the stuff I proposed?

Nice mod, some intense coding shenanigans to get things to animate the way you want to!

Thanks and yeah, I had to get pretty creative in abusing entities...

heli_big.png I don't think I need to explain this mod. It adds freaking helicopters to the game! Name: Helicopters Description: Adds a fully animated attack helicopter to the game. Ideal for getting from A to B quickly, exploring the map, building islands and nuking biters from the sky. License: MI...

LuaGuiElement - scroll_position [RW], for scroll-panes.

Just a few suggestions to make the gui more powerful: Extend on_gui_click by a position parameter, x and y relative to the clicked element. Not very useful for buttons etc, but for cameras there certainly are use cases. Add on_gui_mouse_down, on_gui_mouse_up. Contains the same as on_gui_click + posi...

+1. That would be very useful.

No idea dude. Is it reproduceible?

LuaGuiElement.sprite [RW], for sprite type (currently its only for sprite-button). Also, what about generic LuaStyle.hovered_color, LuaStyle.border_color, LuaStyle.border_size (That way you would not have to resort to sprite workarounds to give an element a nice orange "selected" border.) ...

LuaEntity.collision_box - r/w access at runtime please. Especially write. Alternatively something like LuaEntity.enableCollision :: boolean [RW] ;) Read I can do. Write is not happening as that's a very delicate system that you can't just change them runtime and have the game keep working correctly...

Right, thanks

It automatically handles reducing remaining energy if it's above the amount coal can handle. If it's at 0, then it still stays at 0 after setting it. I see. So instead of a nice convenient consume() function I have to use smth like this self.baseEnt.burner.remaining_burning_fuel = self.baseEnt.burn...

May I suggest that you add a LuaBurner::consume(energy) function? My use case is that I have a car entity (it's a helicopter mod) that should consume power at all times when the rotor is spinning, not only when you press WASD. A function that would handle the consumption automatically, uses availabl...
