I can not register an event

[WIZ4]

I created a file in which I wrote a script that I had to run in the event.on_player_created. In the control.lua I also already have this event. But I do not want to move this function from mid.lua to control.lua.
control.lua:

Code: Select all

require "mid"
script.on_event(defines.events.on_player_created, function(event)
functiont1(event)
functiont2(event)
functiont3(event)
end)

mid.lua:

Code: Select all

local function whatever(event)
  local player = game.players[event.player_index]
  player.insert{name="iron-plate", count=10}
end
Event.register(defines.events.on_player_created, whatever)

I'm getting the error that I did wrong?

"Event.register()" is a function of the factorio standard library and the error says that "Event" doesn't exist, i.e. you do not have stdlib installed/required.

Regardless of that though you should not use script.on_event() and Event.register() in the same mod/scenario, as they try to do the same thing and will conflict with each other if you use them for the same event type.

But I do not want to move this function from mid.lua to control.lua.

In that case you can also return the function to the requiring module, and thus only need one event.

control:

Code: Select all

local whatever = require 'mid' --this
script.on_event(defines.events.on_player_created, function(event)
functiont1(event)
functiont2(event)
functiont3(event)
whatever(event) --this
end)

mid:

Code: Select all

local function whatever(event)
  local player = game.players[event.player_index]
  player.insert{name="iron-plate", count=10}
end
return whatever --this
