I'm looking for a way to spawn a GUI piece when an entity is clicked. Ways I thought of: hotkey for mouse-1, and then see what is below the cursor(but I can't do that, see what is under the cursor) create any entity that creates a GUI, detect that with player.opened and destroy the gui from the ent...

You can check player.selected.
I do that except I bind all my custom inputs for gui to shift-E.

That should work, thanks a lot!

Nah, that is not it. Not a clicked item but a clicked entity. Thanks anyway.

you could, make a hotkey event that fires on middle click, and then check if the on_gui_click event was within one or two ticks away from that one? you should test what the order is these get fired in and whether that is consistent. but it sounds do-able.

As the title says, when the energy usage is set to "0kW" the error message says it has to be positive.
Really Really minor, but still.

steps to reproduce:

add a new entity that uses energy(like assembling machine)
set node energy_usage to "0kW"
launch game
see error

sweet, thanks for fixing and the heads-up.

I don't think that code you posted caused the issue. Cause of the issue is lited here: 2597.129 Error MainLoop.cpp:788: Exception at tick 329: Error while running event on_built_entity (ID 6) __TibiaVectura__/control.lua:31: attempt to index field 'entity' (a nil value) Code excerpt you posted seem...

Making a new entity I saw the entity icon node. I changed it around a bit, but I never actually saw anything changing, anyone know what uses it?

are those the new HD steam engines? they look a lot blue-er than the old ones to me?

it was at the time that I bought it already a budget laptop, and it had an old AMD processor with it's IGPU in it. If you feel like that is potato, take a look at /r/lowendgaming

Originally from the gameplay direwolf20 did with soaryn. I saw it, my old laptop would not run it, but the seed was planted, a while later I got a new latop, and one of the first games I installed was factorio.

like articulating said, there are things to do in the Ideas and Requests For Mods board, take a look to see if you find anything interesting.

when testing I'd say it's handy to make a hotkey that points to the things you want to reset when loading the map

this sounds like a bug to me if the items are not spilled on the ground, as there are just items disappearing.

demo-entities only found this line which is not it: function make_unit_melee_ammo_type(damagevalue) but your idea is a smart one, I'll see how NPP likes opening all those files.

Still working on a base replacement, and an error has popped up I can't figure out. Error: Unit prototype required but missing. Unit prototype?

yes, if I understand correctly you need to add a new collision_mask in the data-loading phase of startup. Look in the game files for where and how this is done, call it something like special-signal-denied, and make the base rails and your signals collide with it by adding it to the data.raw table i...
