[Solved] Error in assignID

[Gamker]

I have started modding and I got an error (Error in assignID: item with name 'inserter2' does not exits.)
My code so far (item.lua):

Code: Select all

local inserter2 = table.deepcopy(data.raw["inserter"]["inserter"])

inserter2.name = "inserter2"
inserter2.icons = {
  {
    icon = inserter2.icon,
    tint = {r=1,g=0,b=0,a=0.3}
  },
}

local recipe = table.deepcopy(data.raw["recipe"]["inserter"])
recipe.enabled = true
recipe.name = "inserter2"
recipe.ingredients = {{"copper-plate",200},{"steel-plate",50}}
recipe.result = "inserter2"

data:extend{inserter2,recipe}

are you doing that in data stage?

are you doing that in data stage?

No, it's in item.lua. It's the last bit that seems to not work (recepie.result= "inserter2").

You have an entity and a recipe, but you need an item.

You have an entity and a recipe, but you need an item.

And how do I add an item(I'm a beginner at modding)?

[PFQNiet]

Deepcopy data.raw.item.inserter and change its properties as needed.

Ok I'll try that.

It helped a lot.

I'm going to leave this thread open because I have no idea how to close it so if anyone knows plz tell me.

Only moderators and admins can close topics. And it’s usually only done when a discussion derailed completely. What I do in a case like this is changing the topic title and adding “[Solved]” at the beginning of it. So people know that there is no further help needed and that there might be an answer in the topic if they have a similar issue.

Oh ok.
