[SOLVED]Modify items in player's starting inventory

[Villfuk02]

When you spawn in a new world, you already have a furnace, 8 iron and a burner miner. I'd like to add some of my own items to that starting inventory. How can I do that?

Adding is fairly easy. there is a script in the control.lua of the scenario that defines what items it gives you, so you'd need to do the same thing in your mod.

As an example... If you create a control.lua in your mod and include the following...

Code: Select all

script.on_event(defines.events.on_player_created, function(event)
  local player = game.players[player_index]
  player.insert({name="iron-plate", count=8})
end)

script.on_event(defines.events.on_player_respawned, function(event)
  local player = game.players[player_index]
  player.insert({name="copper-plate", count=8})
end)

This will give you 8 iron plates when you start, and 8 copper plates when you respawn after death.

OK, thanks, but where do I get the player_index?
The game doesn't want to accept it just like that.

I just figured it out. It is event.player_index.

Thanks for your help
