Roboport on_built_entity

Post by TripleDogDare »

I don't see a way to get events for when a roboport spawns a robot. This would help a lot for tracking active robots without doing very expensive full map scans.

What's the utility of such an event?
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

If this event existed, I would use it for a mod I would like to make that gives construction bots personal shields/weapons.

I think you can get basically the same thing using a created_effect script trigger.
