When a shortcut.toggleable is not set the shortcut's visual toggle behavior gives inconsistent results.

Observed behavior:
Given below code, player.set_shortcut_toggled gives inconsistent results depending on when a shortcut button is pressed or when a custom input is given to call a generic toggle() function. When calling from the button press the button is toggled/untoggled visually, while calling from the custom input the button doesn't change visually. The button state as retrieved from player.is_shortcut_toggled is still updated in both cases. When setting shortcut.toggleable in data.lua to true the button visually behaves as expected.

Expected behavior when shortcut.toggleable is false:
- calling player.set_shortcut_toggled raises an error, or
- calling player.set_shortcut_toggled doesn't update the toggle state, both visually and as retrieved via player.is_shortcut_toggled

data.lua:

Code: Select all

data:extend({{
    type = "custom-input",
    name = "my_shortcut",
    key_sequence = "ALT + L",
    action = "lua"
}, {
    type = "shortcut",
    name = "my_shortcut",
    action = "lua",
    -- toggleable = true, -- When this setting is not set the behavior is unpredictable
    icon = {
        filename = "__base__/graphics/icons/fish.png",
        size = 64,
        mipmap_count = 4
    }
}})

control.lua:

Code: Select all

local toggle = function(player)
    player.set_shortcut_toggled("my_shortcut", not player.is_shortcut_toggled("my_shortcut"))
    log("toggled")
    if player.is_shortcut_toggled("my_shortcut") then
        log("Button is now on")
    else
        log("Button is now off")
    end
end

script.on_event(defines.events.on_lua_shortcut, function(e)
    local player = game.get_player(e.player_index)
    if not player then
        return
    end
    if e.prototype_name == "my_shortcut" then
        log("on_shortcut click @ tick " .. game.tick)
        toggle(player)
        -- Here the shortcut button is visually correctly toggled
    end
end)

script.on_event("my_shortcut", function(e)
    local player = game.get_player(e.player_index)
    log("on_event hotkey @ tick " .. game.tick)
    toggle(player)
    -- Here the button is visually not toggled
end)

log output:

Thanks for the report. I've changed it for the next release so if a shortcut is marked as not-toggleable it will error if attempting to set it as toggled through the Lua API.
