[0.14] no empty category possible in player

[binbinhfr]

Hi,

it seems that we cannot define anymore a player entity with empty crafting/mining categories, which is not very handy if we want to create a fake player that has no interaction.

This not works :

Code: Select all

type = "player",
crafting_categories = {},
mining_categories = {},

it was possible in 0.13 and used by some mods. Why preventing it now ?

This is fixed for the next 0.14 release

I suppose that you meant 0.14.3 because it's not in 0.14.2 .

Its fixed in 0.14.2, just wasn't in the changelog because it was fixed before you reported it as a bug

Strange, because I still have the same error when I try to put an empty {} on these categories :

Code: Select all

data:extend(
{
	----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	{
		type = "player",
		name = "drone-surveillance",
		icon = "__Drones__/graphics/drone-surveillance-icon.png",
		flags = {"pushable", "placeable-player", "placeable-off-grid", "not-repairable", "not-on-map"},
		max_health = 1000,
		healing_per_tick = 1000,
		collision_box = {{0,0}, {0, 0}},
		collision_mask = {},
		render_layer = "air-object", 
		final_render_layer = "air-object",
		crafting_categories = {},
		mining_categories = {},
		-- crafting_categories = {"crafting"},
		-- mining_categories = {"basic-solid"},

it was working in 0.13

you can reproduce it using this mod and commenting/uncommenting in the prototypes/drones.lua file.

any idea ?

You defined the crafting categories as an empty array, just don't include any crafting categories, so remove the whole line

Oh OK. The empty array was working under 0.13, that's why I wrote it that way. Thx.
