entity.minable.results does not support this.

You could use the control.lua event on_player_mined_entity to do whatever you want when a fish is mined.

I'm confused, why would I migrate in the control.lua?
I only want this to run once, when updating to this version, so surely utilizing the migration functionality is ideal?

You can use migrations.lua, you don't need control.lua.

The reason to use lua is it offers more functionality than json.

DaveMcW

You can use script.on_configuration_changed to migrate in control.lua. You need to keep your old data.lua entity names so they aren't deleted.

DaveMcW

This works for characters, including characters in a car/tank. /c character = game.player.character target = game.player.selected script.on_event(defines.events.on_tick, function() if character and character.valid and target and target.valid then character.shooting_state = {state=defines.shooting.sh...

The game will only read the data.lua fields that match the entity type. You can't add a recipe to an offshore pump. And you can't add water detection to an assembling machine.

DaveMcW

The offshore pump water detection feature is not exposed to modders. What you can do is make two entities. Entity 1 is an offshore pump, entity 2 is an assembling machine. Use the item to place entity 1. Then use control.lua scripting to swap to entity 2 in the on_built_entity and on_robot_built_ent...

This is the same issue as constant combinators. viewtopic.php?f=25&t=102702

DaveMcW

This is already in the game as the "Supply challenge" scenario.

Yes, the iterator can be stored. The stored iterator contains the current chunks, even if they were generated after it was created. It might not catch some newly created chunks, if they are inserted before the current position. When the iterator reaches the end of the list it stops iterating, even i...

Yes, the grid is always created empty. It is hard to catch items when they are created because there is no event for it. You could watch the player's inventory though. function set_spider_inventory(grid) grid.put{name="battery-mk2-equipment", position={1,1}} end script.on_event(defines.eve...

Code: Select all

script.on_event(defines.events.on_built_entity, function(event)
  if event.created_entity.name == "spidertron" then
    event.created_entity.grid.put{name="battery-mk2-equipment", position={1,1}}
  end
end)

No, the 4 WireConnectionPoint's correspond to 4 directions. You only get 1 red and 1 green input connection, and 1 red and 1 green output connection.

You have to use multiple entities if you want more connections.

DaveMcW

You can use a cheat to do it:

Code: Select all

/command game.player.insert{name="solar-panel", count=1}

DaveMcW

If you want to avoid all boilers, give yourself a single solar panel at the start to run your labs.

In HTML, <button> has type="submit" by default. This means an unmodified button will refresh the page.

To work around this, give the button type="button".

The button in the reply is unmodified because the blueprint script failed. Figuring out why it failed is trickier.

DaveMcW

It uses ascending order.
