Hi guys, is it possible to check with the control.lua if a entity has power around him and if yes how much (with around him i mean if its in the range of any electric pole).. I have my teleporter right now, but I dont find the right class to use. If I put it as a decorative everything works except t...

So I finished my Teleporters Mod but now I need multiplayer support.. So the main teleporting thread is inside the game.on_tick event, but that does not give me the the player index so how do I get the player? I dont want to loop through every player every tick cause that would take lagg I think.. ...

So I have another problem with my teleporter mod... How do I make this function for multiplayer?
So the main functions with teleporting are made inside the ontick event, but that does not give the playerindex back, so how do I get the player(index) to make things with him?

Code: Select all

global.links = global.links or {}

It will initialize the global.links table if it's not yet initialized.

Great thanks! Now will do all that multiplayer related stuff like changing game.player into game.players[event.playerindex]

The function table.remove accepts an index and removes the object at that index from the table. Imagine you insert entity 1-5 into a table, you'll have the table ents = {ent1, ent2, ent3, ent4, ent5} To remove ent3 you'll have to do table.remove(ents, 3). The table is now: ents = {ent1, ent2, ent4,...

Hey guys, Im working at a simple teleporter mod. I already did all the mechanics such as linking teleporters with a specific tool and going through the teleporters, but now I got a problem. So I carry all teleporter links inside a table called "links". A entry inside this table looks like ...

Another scripting question, what happend with the defines container?
Tried this: but it keeps saying that theres no defines variable in LuaGameScript... Any help?

Will you release a update for the brand new 0.12 update?

Awesome!! I really like the roads! So I went along to test the test mode mod. It boots, but when I try to enter a game, it says __test-mode__\18: LuaGameScript doesn't contain key oninit. So you guys moved the events? I cant use game.oninit, game.onload, and game.ontick. Where is it now? Thanks! pu...

So I tried to spawn an entity and when i click on that entity it should come up with a gui, but in the wiki i haven't found any event for this, e.g. game.onentityclick or something.
Is there something like this and I dont find it? If not, I would like to have it

Thanks!

Is there a possibilty to change the text size?

Code: Select all

game.createentity({name="flying-text", position=game.player.position, text="HELLO", color={r = 0.8, g = 0.4, b = 0}}) 

Thanks!

Hey, anybody knows about the FlyingText entity? I know that it can be spawned, but any parameter to set text and color? The wiki says nothing about it..
Thanks!

I haven't used piskel myself yet, but I have been able to gather some information from the files from the assembling machine 1. First, the code part: you can find the file here in this path: data\base\prototypes\entity\demo-entities.lua If you use N++, then you can use ctrl+f to search to the assem...

Hello guys, I created with Piskel those 33 frames (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_kkwi64gdF7dXVIeGtrbnZnTzA/view?usp=sharing), but when I try to put them in a sprite sheet, it always fails in visual in the game. The animation is not on one place its like the machine hovers above the ground and y...

The actual path has to be:
"Factorio/Mods/TestItems_0.0.1/something/axe.png"

but in the lua files it should be:
"__TestItems__/something/axe.png"

Already fixed, but thanks for help!

It worked! Thanks!
