{solved}showing signals on a hiden entity

[CyberWizard2261]

For my mod "power combinator" I want to show the circuit signals in an invisible entity to the player

I tried to set player.selected = entity to simulate the player hovering the mouse over the entity but this only sets the selected entity for a few milliseconds.

Does anyone know a way to do this? if possible I'd like to avoid reading all signal myself to show them in my GUI

If i remember right it should hold until the player selects something else. So how about using on_selected_entity_changed to set it to what you want every time it changes?

It worked! It executes 2-3 times per second but it works

Thanks again eradicator
