in the debugger where exactly the location of the launch file would be. in the mod folder.. :

That's visible in the link I showed you. It should be

Code: Select all

mods/
    your_mod_1.0.0/
        .vscode/
            launch.json
            settings.json
        control.lua
        data.lua
        etc...

After that I usually just press F5 to start the debugger. Then it will ask you to where your factorio.exe is located. Just follow the prompts.

I have a question, do you know of a tool to visualize this code: shift = util.by_pixel(x, y) I have to keep opening and closing the game to test the positioning

I don't know of such a tool.

I have a question, do you know of a tool to visualize this code: shift = util.by_pixel(x, y) I have to keep opening and closing the game to test the positioning

I wonder if you could abuse LuaRendering for testing by plotting on the ground.

I found this site I tested it worked...

a table receiving another table directly only clones the values ​​but does not create another separate table... for example, tab[1].op and op with value 2 when I copy the table to tab[2] the index "op" if it is changed together the value of tab[1] is changed together.

Code: Select all

global.recorder[ tag ] = new_entity

global.recorder[ 1 ] = new_entity

global.recorder[ 2 ] = global.recorder[ 1 ] 

I used the code "table.insert" to insert "table.insert( global.recorder[ 1 ], global.recorder[ 2 ] )"
but returns an error

I copied this function to copy the table well it seems it worked but with time an error message appears but the game continues running and the message comes back again

Code: Select all

function table_copy(t)
  local t2 = {};
  for k,v in pairs(t) do
    if type(v) == "table" then
        t2[k] = table_copy(v);
    else
        t2[k] = v;
    end
  end
  return t2;
end

Yeah, if you want a copy of a table then you need to do a deep copy. You're going the right way, but there's an easier way, by using a built-in library

Code: Select all

local util = require("util")

local foo = { "this is a table" }
local foo_copy = util.deepcopy(foo)

As for that crash you get, I haven't seen that before. But it looks like you're trying to save a function of a LuaObject in the table, instead of the LuaObject itself. Meaning something like

Code: Select all

function foo(event)
    local entity = event.entity
    global.bad = entity.launch_rocket -- This trying to save a function which we cannot do in global. 
    global.good = entity.launch_rocket() -- This is fine because we're executing the function
    global.good = entity -- We can safely store LuaObjects in global too
end

However, this is pure speculation, because I don't really know.

about the "for_n_of" loop i was using table.remove and i noticed that the loop is stopping and i reread the flib article and i noticed this

do you know how to remove without stopping the loop

DO NOT delete entires from tbl from within callback, this will break the iteration. Use the deletion flag instead.

[Stringweasel]

It explains it in the documentation. The function you give it should return if the current entry should be deleted. I guess it should be something like this:

Code: Select all

event.on_tick(function()

    global.from_k = table.for_n_of(extremely_large_table, global.from_k, 10, function(value, key) 
    	
    	-- Do whatever
    	
    	local should_delete_entry = should_delete(key) -- this is a bool
    
        return nil, should_delete_entry
    end)
    
end)

[evandro_6565]

worked, returning boolean true value


do you know the code to create this hole through this script

do you know the code to create this hole through this script

Pretty sure it's an entity, as seen here in the prototype for an explosive rocket

Code: Select all

entity_name = "medium-scorchmark-tintable",

The file is here though, you can even make a sprite out of it:

Code: Select all

Factorio_1.1.69\data\base\graphics\entity\scorchmark\big-scorchmark-top.png

here is my repository, I couldn't do the division of the table tab.car, tab.entity but I removed those loops and only the one from the flib was left

I've never seen that before. I would just click `Contact Support` and try to get it fixed somehow

I've never seen that before. I would just click `Contact Support` and try to get it fixed somehow

I already sent a message today and I'll have to wait

"Due to the high volume of support calls, it may take up to seven business days for our support engineers to respond."


I already tried to delete the account to open another but the delete button is blocked

try testing again

the message has been withdrawn

Now it works!

do you know how to block the player from mining an entity... i want the entity to remain operable but the player cannot mine

[Stringweasel]

do you know how to block the player from mining an entity... i want the entity to remain operable but the player cannot mine

Maybe you can use this? https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Lua ... ty.minable

Or some players seem to listen for the mine event, and then clone the entity again before the player notices. Almost like this one: https://github.com/Wiwiweb/FactorioUndeletableFluids
