Help, I've been trying to edit starting inventory.
Remove starter items on Freeplay and add new ones.

I tried pasting code from other discussions but nothing helped
Could anyone help me with code for Control.lua and any other necessary with code and files i need?

(also, if you could explain how it works, that would be great)

Thanks in advance

Maybe you'd have more chance taking example on a mod that does something similar to what you want to achieve, one whose license allows taking example

As of now there is very little information you are giving that could help diagnose the problems

I want to change players starting inventory when starting a new game.

I tried that.

script.on_event(defines.events.on_player_created, function(event)
local player = game.players[event.player_index]
player.insert({name="iron-plate", count=800})
end)

No errors or anything, but it doesn't work.

There's something i'm doing wrong? Maybe i missed something?

I can't say for sure, but it seem you are not inserting item in the inventory as it's done in this mod :

SOLVED

If anyone need help with this, here's the code

it was that simple...

-- Clear the player inventory
local function clear_inv(e)
local player = game.players[e.player_index]
player.clear_items_inside()
player.insert{name = "car", count = 1}
end

-- Disable the crash site and skip cutscene
local function disable_crash()
-- If we're in freeplay, disable the crash site

if remote.interfaces["freeplay"] then
remote.call("freeplay", "set_disable_crashsite", true)
end
end

script.on_event(defines.events.on_player_created, clear_inv) -- on player created
script.on_init(disable_crash) -- on mod init

Thanks everyone for help!

There's also a freeplay interface for setting the starting items if you want to use that.

You can check in base/scenarios/freeplay/freeplay.lua for how to call it.

But this interface will only be available if the "Freeplay" scenario is used. You can get the active scenario by reading script.level.
